Are you grateful for the invention of modern central
air heating and cooling systems?
How would your life be different if you didn’t have heating and cooling technology?
First, you wouldn’t have thermostats to easily change
the temperature in the house! Second, there would be no fancy app that you can
access from your iPhone to remotely change the settings on your thermostat. Last,
you would probably have to perform some manual labor like cutting and chopping
wood for your fireplace, and that can be quite tiresome!
According to research, “prior to
1885 the majority of homes in America were heated with wood burning brick
fireplaces, and derivatives of the cast iron Franklin Stove invented in 1742.
Today 60% of homes heated are with gas fired forced air furnaces (FAU’s), and
another 9% with oil fired FAU’s.”
Additionally, Willis Carrier is the
man to thank for our climate controlled homes in the high heat of summer. He “built
the first air conditioner in 1902 to combat humidity problems inside a printing
company. However, residential air conditioning would remain a luxury for the
wealthy until after World War II,” becoming one of the greatest inventions
known to man.
“In
1953, room air conditioner sales would exceed one million
units. By 1998, shipments of unitary air conditioners and heat pumps set a
record of more than 6.2 million units.” Purchasing units or
appliances for heating and cooling in Ann
Arbor, and in the United States continue to grow throughout the years.
