The Quest To Keep Cool
Share
The quest for cool air through history shows our ingenuity.
Long before AC, America's sweltering summers necessitated creative cooling solutions. In the 1800s and early 1900s, strategic home designs like wraparound porches, shady awnings, and sleeping porches kept interiors marginally cooler at night.
But it wasn't until 1902 and Willis Carrier's invention of modern air conditioning that relief fully arrived.
You may remember that early AC units were a luxury only the elite could afford. But over time, the technology advanced as it became more accessible for the average household.
Today's air conditioning solutions consume far less energy than early editions, keeping our homes comfortably cool without outrageous electricity bills.
And beyond standard AC, we're seeing exciting new technologies like liquid cooling systems that harness liquids to achieve ideal temps efficiently.
Our cooling capabilities have come a long way from passive porches and awnings. With ongoing innovation, cooling technology promises to become even smarter and more advanced, maintaining the perfect indoor climates while using minimal energy.
