Happy 110th Birthday!!

Published by in Company News, History Of Air Conditioning, HVAC Industry News on July 18th, 2012 | Comments Off

Did you know that yesterday was the 110th birthday of modern air conditioning?

History shows that on July 17th 1902 the first modern air conditioner was invented. On this day 110 years ago, Willis H. Carrier cranked up the first air conditioner at a printing plant to keep ink impressions on paper during a particularly hot, humid summer in Brooklyn, N.Y. Air conditioners didn’t actually start making their way into Fort Worth homes until the ’40s and ’50s. By the 1980s Nearly 75 percent of all educational buildings in the U.S. had air-conditioning. I can’t imagine living, studying or working in Texas without it!
