Nicholas Heating & Cooling

In 1902, Willis Haviland Carrier designed the first modern air-conditioning system by realizing that he could dry air by passing it through water to create fog. This pioneered an industry that would fundamentally improve the manner in which we work, learn, and live.

Did you know that many portable air conditioners are not only air conditioners but are also dehumidifiers? This means that your air conditioner will not only cool the room but will also remove excess moisture from the air, making it much more comfortable.

Before air conditioning, some would run a fan over large blocks of ice in order to chill the air as it circulated throughout the room. Some people still use this method today when they need to spend time outdoors on particularly hot days.

Evaporative coolers are especially effective in dry, warm climates, but they’re not well suited to hot, humid ones. In humid conditions, the air is already so saturated with moisture; it’s difficult for the cooler to produce sufficient evaporation to create a cooling effect.

Don't wait until there's an emergency to find a dependable air-conditioning contractor. During the fall, have a contractor come out to inspect your system. That way, when the next emergency arrives, you won't be just another name on a list.
