The staff at Long Beach Air Conditioning would like to share the deep history of air conditioning with you to share the rich tradition that our craft is built on. The idea of air conditioning was first implemented been in Ancient Rome where aqueduct water was passed through walls in some of the most affluent houses to cool them down. More recently, the first modern electrical air conditioning unit was invented by Willis Carrier in 1902 in Buffalo, New York. Later, Carrier’s technology was used to increase productivity in the industrial settings and the Carrier Air Conditioning Company was formed to meet rising demand of warm workplaces.
However, the phrase, “air conditioning”, was first coined by James Cramer when he used it in a patent claim he filed shortly after Carrier formed his climate control company for devices that opeerated similarly to “water conditioning”, then a well-known process for making textiles easier to process. Air conditioners have come a long way since then. Innovation in air conditioning technologies continues with recent emphasis on energy efficiency, and on improving indoor air quality. The current push for green solutions is one that we embrace and insist upon at Long Beach Air Conditioning.
Nowadays, homeowners are discovering that “going green” has more benefits than simply saving the planet (particularly in the area of A/C systems). Green technology in heating and cooling units is a money-saving feature as well as being environmentally friendly. We’re happy to help you discover the right match of power and efficiency here at Long Beach Air Conditioning. So, if your current central air conditioning unit is more than 12 years old, replacing it with an ENERGY STAR qualified model could cut your cooling costs by 30% or more.
