Air Conditioning Articles

Today’s air conditioner (AC) is based on a prototype invented in 1902 by Willis Carrier, an engineer from Buffalo, New York. Unlike earlier forms of cooling, Carrier’s model controlled the temperature by removing heat and humidity from the air.

The U.S. Department of Energy raised the minimum efficiency requirements for central air conditioners and air-source heat pumps starting in 2023.

Though air conditioners are a major part of modern life, they hold many secrets few people know about.

You can spend up to 30 percent less to cool and up to 60 percent less to heat when you upgrade your AC system, according to ENERGY STAR®.
