So what exactly is a cooling tower when it comes to commercial HVAC systems? This is basically a heat rejection device that’s installed outside the building envelope. Condensed water is circulated through this unit, where ev***rative cooling causes heat to be removed from the water and released into the outside air.

If you have a fireplace, it may actually be costing you energy dollars. Some fireplace designs produce convection currents when you start a crackling fire. These currents can draw the warm air up and out of your home.

In 1914, the first home air conditioning unit was installed in the Charles Gates’ mansion. The unit was seven feet high, six feet wide, and 20 feet long. The mansion was never occupied, so it’s unclear if that early AC system was ever used.

So how do condensing furnaces work? These high-efficiency furnaces take so much heat out of the flue gases that water v***r condenses and turns back into a liquid, which is then vented using plastic vent materials.

If you have an existing cooling and heating system with ducts, it's a good idea to inspect the duct system in your home to determine if there blockages or other problems.

Gas air-conditioning units are a better choice to electric systems for three important reasons: Natural gas is more efficient, it produces fewer emissions than does electricity, and natural gas is less expensive than electricity.

If the air-conditioning you want installed is too large for your building’s needs, it will cool the air too quickly without lowering humidity to the proper levels. This causes the system to work harder than it has too and contributes to premature system failure.

A poorly insulated house can put a strain on your heating and cooling system and drive up your utility costs. A heating and cooling expert can inspect your home and add insulation where necessary.

Did you know that, the more densely populated a work area is, the hotter it will be? If you have trouble with uneven cooling in your offices, consider a zone heating (and cooling) solution. Zones allow you to keep key areas cooler without over-cooling the rest of the facility.

A gas-powered air conditioner works by moving heat from inside to outside the house. A gas-powered heat pump works in the reverse, drawing residual heat from the outside, and pulling it inside the house.

The original heating fuel in the US was wood, all the way back to the colonial days. In fact, wood was the most popular heating fuel in the US until 1885. Before then, the house was heated by the cast iron Franklin Stove.

Experts recommend setting your thermostat to the lowest comfortable temperature in winter and highest comfortable temperature in summer. What do they suggest? To minimize HVAC costs year round, try setting it to 70 degrees in winter and 78 degrees in summer.
