On a hot summer’s day, there’s nothing better than walking into a nice, cool building. I can attest to this, having just entered my home after a long walk in what felt like 92 degree weather. That said, it’s fun to wonder whether or not it would be possible to cool our outdoor areas as well; that way, when we’re having the family over for a BBQ, we wouldn’t have to watch Uncle Bob sweat! Outside air conditioning probably isn’t coming to your backyard anytime soon, but engineers [...]

People will do just about anything to stay cool in the summer. One tale says the Roman Emperor Elagabalus would have slaves scale mountains to bring him ice from the mountaintops, which he would put in his courtyard, so when a breeze came through it would cool his living quarters. Centuries later, an enterprising Bostonian named Frederic Tudor began shipping insulated New England ice south, so people could cool their homes and businesses in the summer. Not so long after, in 1902, the air [...]

Ductwork oftentimes degrades the equipment’s performance because of inaccurate sizing, leakage, and accumulated dirt and debris.In contrast, ductless ACs and heat pumps thoroughly eliminate the necessity for registers and ductwork. All self-contained units include [...]
