Needing Air Conditioner Naples FL

By Teresa Hughes


Florida is a warm state and one that is damp, too. An air conditioner Naples is a necessity, not a luxury. Few residents choose to swelter in the heat and humidity, and no business could last long without this modern convenience.

Actually, air conditioning isn't all that modern. There's evidence that the ancient Egyptians hung reeds around the perimeters of their rooms and dripped water over them. The evaporation of the trickling water cooled the room. It also moisturized the dry desert atmosphere. Similar 'evaporators' are used today in desert states like Arizona. The problem in Florida is never being too dry, of course. The Naples area gets far more rain than the average for the country.

The Chinese used rotary fans - actual mechanical devices - centuries ago to cool off very important people. Moving air speeds up the evaporation of sweat, which makes you feel cooler. Chemistry improved on this practice by substituting volatile liquids or gases for plain water. Some chemicals, like freon, have drastic cooling effects. Residential air conditioners were in use in America - and probably in Naples - by the 1920s.

The development of heat and humidity control is interesting, but most people are more interested in the practical aspects of the science. Working, playing, and sleeping are so much more pleasant when temperatures are below blood heat. So is driving in a car. Almost everyone in the warmer regions considers climate control a necessity.

Comfort is not the only reason for keeping temperatures and humidity under control. Artwork can be damaged by high humidity. So can items in storage. Business also languishes if temps are too high. Think about seeing a movie, eating a leisurely lunch, or finishing a project on a deadline if the indoor temperatures are in the nineties. Impossible. Mid-nineties is average for Florida from June to October. Spring and fall can hot, too.

There is, therefore, a constant need for installation, inspection, maintenance, and repair of AC units. Fortunately, there are many licensed and certified people to perform these tasks. Government and trade organizations provide training and set the standards for the industry; people looking for reliable air conditioning companies in Broward County can start by checking for endorsements from these agencies. You want a licensed contractor with certified technicians.

To find the best Bonita Springs AC companies, it will be helpful to access some of the review sites online. People who have had good or bad experiences post their stories online. They want to praise good companies and warn their neighbors about bad ones.

HVAC contractors work with central heat and air systems, for installation as well as repair. Portable window units are good for one room, but the central systems cool and dehumidify the whole building. Florida's damp heat is great for mold and mildew but not so much for people. To be comfortable and healthy in Naples, check with the air conditioning companies that have the skills to give you year round comfort.
