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. Below are some air conditioning basics.
Aside from the professionals, like ours at Heat Source Mechanical, who really thinks about air conditioners and their components? How does your central air conditioner cool your home?
The US Department of Energy (DOE) says air conditioning can account for 35 to 40 percent of your utility bill here in Arkansas. At HeatSource Mechanical, Inc., we take energy efficiency seriously.
It’s a hot day outdoors, and you are inside your Wasilla home waiting for your air conditioning (AC) system to kick into full gear. But instead of cool air coming out of your vents, all you feel is hot air!
An HVAC warranty offers you a valuable safety net for servicing and repairing the heating and cooling equipment in your Wasilla, Palmer, and Fairbanks, AK, home.
At HeatSource Mechanical, we specialize in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that add value to your home and enjoyment to your lives.
Stand outdoors on one of those days when the weather feels perfect, take a few deep breaths, and enjoy the fresh air.
Later, take another deep breath—only inside your Alaska home. How does it compare?
There are many advantages to adding a whole-house humidifier to your Alaska home. Adding one can increase the comfort level in your home and lower your annual energy expenses. Proper humidity levels can allow you to maintain indoor comfort levels at a lower temperature which uses less energy for heating.
Air handlers are a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit, or AHU, that resembles a furnace in appearance, but its purpose is very different. It conditions and circulates both cool and hot air, depending on what time of year it is.
In 1919, New Jersey inventor Alice H. Parker filed a patent for the first gas-fueled furnace. Today, the basic technology is the same—only it burns less gas.
