The History of Air Conditioner

Fri, 29 Jun 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Secret effect of the air conditioning on our daily lives.

It’s a modern luxury that we often forget we are privileged to have until it goes out on us in the peak heat of summer.

Air conditioning has changed a lot over the course of history.

First is do you know what is the first place that used air conditioners? Movie Theater. Surprised? Us too. Movie theaters were among the first public places to have air conditioning , as a ploy to try to get everyone to come to the movies. Theaters would release big pictures in the summer, hence the term “summer blockbuster.” One reason is because people sought out the air-conditioned buildings to escape the heat.

Next one is do you know that there is something in us, Humans, that has been changed by air conditioners?

Our Heat Tolerance. Scientific studies have shown that the introduction of air conditioning has actually lowered the natural human tolerance for heat. Meaning a hot summer’s day seems much more amplified than it did to people generations ago.

Air Conditioning on Sweltering Summer Day

Fri, 27 Apr 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Let's beat the intense heat especially during summer seasons.

Who on the Gold Coast hasn't sung the praises of air conditioning on a sweltering summer day?

But who do you have to thank for this refreshing convenience? That with just one click on the remote, the room you are in is automatically cooled down.

The short answer to that question is Willis Carrier. He is an American engineer credited with inventing the first modern air conditioner. It is really invented not for comfort, but because he needed a way to control the humidity in a New York publishing house. He designed it to keep his paper from expanding and contracting and so that his ink would dry faster and without smudges. Actually, it was just invented accidentally or by mistake perhaps.

However, this solved the biggest problem of all time

The intense heat especially during summer seasons on any part of the Globe. His "mistake" is allowing us now to cool homes, businesses, hospitals, data centres, laboratories and other buildings vital to our economy and daily lives.

And thanks to Carrier for launching an industry that would fundamentally improve the way we live, work and play. He literally changed the world. He also gave life to all air conditioning business around the globe like Climate Control .

At Climate Control, we take pride in spreading Willis' way of cooling down the world. We are a business on the Gold Coast that has been supplying the community with quality air conditioning services for over three decades now. We just started out as a small family business operating only in our garage. It takes a lot to succeed and continuously run Climate Control and we’re lucky to have the perfect team of people to do it.

Our plan is to continue to differentiate ourselves from the rest of our HVAC competitors through unique positioning, strong history and ongoing commitment to providing superior and unparalleled customer service here on the Gold Coast.

You are asking how's Willis Carrier and Climate Control connected?

Simple. Willis Carrier invented the FIRST EVER air conditioner in the world while Climate Control renders the BEST EVER air conditioning service on the Gold Coast. How's that?

What Did People Do Before Air Conditioning Was Invented?

Thu, 29 Mar 2018 15:25:43 GMT

A little bit of trivia on how people survived without Air Conditioning before.

Have you ever looked at that white box on the wall that makes a Gold Coast Hot day bearable and thought to yourself, “what did people do before that was Invented?”

Well, it’s a good question and we thought we might answer it with a little bit of trivia. One of the tricks of the trade was to get a little innovative. Have you ever put a wet towel in the freezer and then throw it over a fan then let the water blow into your face? Or do remember those evaporative type coolers? And instead of just adding water you throw in a whole bunch of ice blocks? Have you read stories about people placing swimsuits in a freezer and then putting them on? Might be ok that one until they start to thaw out then it would be uncomfortable.

But what about when there was no fans or coolers?

Well if you notice a lot of houses on the Gold Coast have Verandahs, that was the place to be on those super-hot days and into the nights, as they gave a little bit of comfort from the sun but were super nice if a breeze of any sort was blowing through, so people spent a lot more time outside the house. An afternoon nap was also a popular thing, it may have had zero effect on the heat, but it at least gave you a break from just sitting around in it.

But thankfully in the late 1930’s Air Conditioning started to appear in houses and in 2018?

We have it everywhere, so even if you didn’t have air con at home you could go do some Window Shopping or sit back enjoy a nice cold one at the local. In the case of Climate Control on the Gold Coast, we have been keeping people cool since 1977, replacing the wet towel and ice in the cooler. So, for all your Air-conditioning needs on the Gold Coast be it sales or service why not give us a call.

Why February is a Great Month to Sneak Outside this Summer?

Wed, 28 Feb 2018 17:06:44 GMT

February is the last official Summer month with warm weather and less crowds than December and January. It's a great month to sneak outside of school holidays and enjoy all that the Gold Coast has to offer. And the beach is central to life and holidays. You can see Aussie icons battling it out in surf carnivals and surfing competitions. This makes February one of the best times to visit the Gold Coast for a holiday. You’ll have fewer problems with crowds, yet most summer activities are still available. You can enjoy a late summer holiday without worrying about kids overtaking the Gold Coast.

Although it is not as hot as the past months, At the end of the day, you will definitely feel spent and exhausted with all the outdoor heat your body has absorbed.

And what is more perfect than to lay on your bed and sleep?

But the fact that February is still part of the summer season, expect that a crappy sleep is what you're going to have have even before the sun rises. So you are going to turn on the split air conditioning and set it on a lower core temperature to cool down your room. But it seems that it is not helping.

The poor, old split air conditioning system of yours is really testing your patience.

Well, to tell you, it is not entirely the units fault. It won't take the phone and call maintenance staff on the Gold Coast itself. Now, we think that served as a lesson to you. Get your split air conditioner serviced before the next heat wave comes. Have someone check your unit from time to time to avoid things like this. Climate Control on the Gold Coast can be gladly of help, not literally on the next summer but on our monthly date with you!

Hence, a bit of maintenance is often needed to get it running properly.

If you live anywhere on the Gold Coast, you will appreciate a fully functioning air conditioning system. When your air conditioner needs this a little bit of checking or a regular maintenance perhaps, you should hire a professional service technician.

6 Ways to Help Your Air Conditioner Help You

Fri, 04 Aug 2017 11:42:34 GMT

Do you rely on your air conditioner to keep your home comfortable? Do you do all you can to keep it in great shape? Do you dread the day when it breaks down? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

We know your air conditioner might be a source of confusion, so we put together the following list of six things you can do to help your air conditioner help you. Keep these tips in mind as you use your air conditioner.

1. Make sure your air conditioner is the right size.

A bigger air conditioner isn’t always best. Not only do oversized air conditioners cost you extra money every month, they remove to o little humidity from the air. That means you might be paying a lot of money to be less comfortable than you could be.

Talk to a climate control expert to ensure your air conditioner suits your home.

2. Leave your air conditioner on for longer periods.

Do you turn your air conditioner off when your home reaches a comfortable temperature? If so, you could be hindering your air conditioner’s efficiency and shortening its lifespan. When you turn your air conditioner off, you force it to work harder when it comes on. As a result, you’ll spend more on energy bills. It’s also more likely that your unit’s components will fail prematurely.

You should only turn off your air conditioner when your home is vacant or during the off-season.

3. Turn on ceiling and floor fans.

Ceiling and floor fans won’t actually cool the air in your home, but they will help your air conditioner stay efficient and you stay comfortable. Fans help circulate the air in your home, and air circulation is vital to an efficient air conditioner. Furthermore, fans create a wind chill effect and will make your home seem cooler than it really is. This allows you to set your thermostat to a higher temperature, ultimately saving money in the long run.

4. Clean your air filters regularly.

You’ve probably heard this tip before and for good reason. Countless people overlook the role air filters play in keeping the air in their homes clean and their air conditioners in good condition. Dirty air filters allow dirt, allergens and pollution into your home. They also waste energy by forcing your air conditioner to work harder to push air through layers of build-up.

Clean your filters once a month during peak usage times, and every 2-3 months during non-peak seasons.

5. Regular Maintenance is Important

In addition to cleaning your air filters regularly, it is important to clean your drains on a regular basis. Check for electrical flaws and air flow prior to peak summer demand period to keep yourself ahead. Be proactive about maintaining your air conditioning system so you don’t come across any surprises in the midst of summer

6. Branding is Important

Be sure to choose a quality brand unit sold by a retailer you can trust. Make sure they offer in-house customer service and long-term warranties so you get the most from your money. If you are unsure of which brand to choose, ask a professional for advice.

Your air conditioner does a lot for you, so you shouldn’t neglect it. Use these tips to keep it in great shape for many years to come.
