In 1856, Sir William Siemens and his brother Friedrich developed the first regenerative furnace. It used energy more efficiently and vented the gaseous combustion products only after the air was cooled, two innovations critical to the development of efficient gas furnaces.

Old heating and air-conditioning systems can start to nickel and dime you to death through increasing energy costs and more frequent maintenance work. If you notice bills rising and the system needing service more than twice a year, it is time to consider a new system installation to bring costs down.

Heating and cooling represent 50 percent or more of the energy used in a typical home according to the US Energy Star program. It recommends homeowners schedule annual system service checkups and change filters at one-to-three-month intervals to reduce HVAC costs.

The original concept of air conditioning is thought to come from Ancient Rome. Also, it’s said that early cooling applications and techniques were used in Medieval Persia using cisterns and wind towers. The emergence of central air conditioning came forth in the early 19th century due to the advances in chemistry.

Modern cooling refrigerants help the environment, by eliminating the release of chlorofluorocarbons into the air. Chlorofluorocarbon is an organic compound that contains carbon, chlorine, hydrogen and fluorine, that all produce a volatile derivative of methane, which is damaging to the Ozone.

In the early 1800s, long before the invention of air conditioning, Floridians kept cool using ice. It was cut from northern lakes during the heart of winter, stored in underground ice houses, then packed in sawdust and shipped by sailing vessel.
