Did you know that the first concept of air conditioning was developed by a British Scientist named Michael Faraday back in 1820, when he discovered that if you liquefy ammonia, you could chill air when it was allowed to evaporate? However, it was not for almost another 100 years until Willis Carrier invented the first modern air conditioner in 1902 for a publishing company in Brooklyn. He was attempting to solve the problem of the effect of humidity on the inks and paper at a printing company.
Now, life without air conditioners, and by extension central heating too, seems impossible. Even back in the depression era, movie theaters would spend the extra money on air conditioner services despite its high cost because it would draw huge amounts of patrons.
Equally as important, central heating gets us through winters as much as air conditioning gets us through the summer. The thing about central heating is that it is different form local heating because the heat generation occurs in only one place, such as the furnace room in a house or a mechanical room.
To keep these invaluable commodities, we would pay probably anything for air conditioner repair services. Of course, you could always attempt air conditioner repair services yourself as a little DIY project, but I think that it is an unwise decision. Would you really want to risk losing that valuable cool air just to cut down on the cost of air conditioner repair services? No. I did not think so.
I know I would not. The air conditioner repair services that I was rendered were a bit expensive, but to be perfectly honest, the return on investment was pretty high I would say. Have any of you had any experience with air conditioner repair services? What was it like? Were you happy about the bill or no? Please comment with your story about air conditioner repair services!

I was doing pretty well without an air conditioner, but then we had that scorcher of a heat wave roll through and it pretty much ruined my streak.
That heat wave actually short circuited my air conditioning. It was a nightmare! I think I spent most of that week in libraries, malls and movie theaters!
