Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

Heating and air conditioning companies, not just across the United States but around the world, are much more than companies that install and repair heating and cooling units. Heating and cooling companies work tirelessly to reduce climate change and assist in keeping the public safe from toxic emissions and fires and install energy-efficient furnaces and air conditioners to help drastically reduce the client’s overall energy consumption. It was during the early 1900s that the first electrical air conditioning concept came to the attention of the public. Although air conditioning units first came on the scene in the home during the 1950s post-World War II period, the concept of cold water cooling people arose centuries ago. In the 1950s, window air conditioning units were seen in homes nationwide. Heating and cooling companies saw a dramatic rise in profits due to selling and installing these marvelous simple wonders that quickly cooled off rooms, which increased the comfort of many households. These first window air conditioners included only a simple condenser, a fan and a coil. These days, a window air conditioner contains much more, and they are very complex units, requiring technicians to install these units. Window air conditioning units became a status symbol for thousands of homeowners. During the 1970s, window air conditioning units, while still popular, had to now compete with a new advanced concept of central air conditioning as they rose in popularity, so much so that the car industry took note.
Heating and cooling companies had to reeducate their technicians in the principles of HVAC, a new concept in the heating and air conditioning industry. HVAC is short for “heating, ventilation and air conditioning.” Early heating in homes relied on a furnace or boiler that delivered heat into the duct work through registers and into the rooms. New technology mixes the functions of a furnace and central air conditioner, creating the new HVAC systems. These systems set a standard for heating and cooling companies. The principle of HVACs is to take warm, moist air from inside the home and deliver it outside during the summer months. This process reverses during colder months. This new HVAC technology focuses on indoor environmentally clean air, and it requires the technician to know a bit about mechanical engineering, heat transfers, fluid mechanics, and the principles of thermodynamics. Technicians must now explain to customers that furnaces and central air conditioning units work together so that the following takes place: (1) Air is blown over air conditioning coils, cooling the air. These coils attach to a fan on the furnace that circulates a fan. (2) This fan sends the cooled air through the same duct work that heat travels through during colder months. Cool air goes through the heat registers in every room of the house, thus cooling the air. The heating system must work with the central air unit to deliver cold air.
As technologies have increased over the years, heating and cooling companies found that their technicians had to be HVAC-certified to install and repair these new HVAC units. These new HVAC units were of a more advanced technology, thus technicians needed to be more detail-oriented, possess excellent customer / communication skills, manage their time better, be precise in troubleshooting skills, possess an element of strength, be able to work long hours on a project, and be skilled in the concepts of math. The HVAC technician must not be claustrophobic because many times they are required to work in small, closed spaces. HVAC technicians find many HVAC units located in closets, crawlspaces under homes, small basements, and even in attics. Qualified HVAC professionals possess advanced education in the heating and cooling industry beyond the technicians of past years. Also, that said, technology has made HVAC systems more accessible for the consumer to understand and operate. Heating and cooling technologies have spiraled out of control, and many advancements have been made, requiring HVAC technicians at heating and cooling companies to need CEUs for these professionals to obtain ongoing education in the installation and repair of these units. Quite frequently, the homeowner does not know what kind of heating and cooling system they own, and the technician must patiently explain. Knowing the type of furnace in a home is vital information that the consumer must understand to place a call for parts replacements or if doing a whole new installation. What homeowners find is that their HVAC is very simple to use. If the consumer wants the inside temperature warmer, they turn the thermostat up. If the consumers want it cooler inside, they turn the thermostat down, which is very easy to understand and operate, just as in years ago with the first window air conditioners. The heating and cooling technologies of today now see at least four different types of HVAC systems: split, hybrid, duct-free and packaged.
The newer air conditioners have pretty much the same design as back in the 1950s. These air conditioners have a compressor, fan and condenser coil. When you engage your air conditioner, what happens is that the air in your home transfers to the refrigerant and is pumped to an outside unit. The job of the compressor is to move the coolant through the system. Heating and cooling companies hire certified HVAC technicians to install HVAC units, maintain the units at least annually, if not bi-annually, troubleshoot problems for repairs, order parts and replace new parts for the defective parts. These technicians get their certification to work on furnaces and central air systems. The engineering of the HVAC systems is unique in that the system does so much to help keep people in their homes and workplace safe and healthy. Amazingly, there are only four main parts to this system. The furnace uses heating oil or natural gas to heat the air. Electricity and coolant liquid is used with the power of electricity to help reduce the air temperature. Electricity is used to send the collected hot air to the outside, thus leaving the cooler air inside. Duct work connects to all the registers in every room and is the path by which the cold air travels through the house and into various places. In the winter months, this same duct work is the pathway for heat throughout the house. Cooling and heating companies agree that the goal of the HVAC system is to provide enhanced comfort for occupants and increase the quality of the air they breathe. Thermodynamics and state-of-the-art technologies in the heating and cooling industry have come far since the 1950s.
