Bothell Heating & Air Conditioning

Did you know that something as simple as failing to change your HVAC’s air filter monthly could allow particles to get inside and clog the equipment? Luckily, this is something anyone in the home can handle by themselves.

Did you know that one of the biggest industries to benefit from air conditioning was the film industry? Even in the midst of the Depression, theaters installed air conditioners when they were brand new, and it quickly made them the most popular place to go to cool off.

You probably already know ev***ration is the process that turns water from a liquid state into a gaseous state. Do you know the opposite process that turns water v***r into its liquid state? If you guessed condensation, you're right.

The most important part of cooling system maintenance is maintaining unrestricted air flow. Dust, dirt, and debris are an HVAC’s system’s worst enemies. Whether it’s an indoor or outdoor unit, it’s important that all filters are kept clean and heat exchangers and coils are free of restrictions.

A single portable air-conditioning unit will not be able to cool both upstairs and downstairs areas. For these situations, we recommend using multiple portable units in order to achieve the greatest cooling effect and efficiency.

While it may technically be possible to continue repairing your existing cooling system, it may not always be the most cost-effective option. When you’re not sure whether it makes better financial system to change out the equipment, we’re always prepared to help you evaluate the situation.

Make sure you leave the maintenance and repairs of your cooling system to an air-conditioning contractor. A contractor deals with cooling systems for a living and likely has already encountered any problem that arises in your home.

Care to guess which culture developed ev***rative cooling technology? If you guessed the ancient Egyptians, you're right. On hot days, they saturated blankets with water and hung them in doorways and other indoor locations with good airflow. As the air passed through the blankets, it cooled rooms naturally.

Did you know that central air conditioning systems are one of the most effective and efficient ways to circulate cool air throughout the house? Other benefits include minimal noise and much better air quality.

The first air conditioners created used toxic or flammable gases, such as ammonia, methyl chloride, or propane, all or which were very dangerous if leaked. Fortunately, in 1928, Thomas Midgley Jr. created the first non-flammable, non-toxic chlorofluorocarbon gas, known as "Freon."

Many people ask how much a cooling system will cost. Many factors affect the cost of an HVAC system, including the size of your home, the type and condition of the ductwork installed, and accessories you might need such as a thermostat or an electronic air cleaner.

Your body uses ev***rative cooling in the form of sweat. Under typical conditions, every kilogram of water ev***rated from sweat transfers 2,257 kJ of energy away from the body. The ev***ration rate varies based on temperature and humidity.
