Long ago in the afternoons before there were central heating and air conditioner systems, the way my wonderful friend and I heated and cooled our homes were way different! For one, everyone had either a warm water boiler, a gas boiler or electric boiler for their heating, however these were definitely easier to maintain things than a central heating and air conditioner system unit in my opinion.
Then for air conditioner everyone had window air conditioners of all shapes and sizes. There were the larger ones to take care of cooling an entire family room section or downstairs of a house. Then there were the medium to small sized ones that would take care of the air conditioner for a kitchen! Some folks did not have the luxury of affording window air conditioner system units in those afternoons, so they were stuck with exhaust and direct blow window fans, which in the hotter areas of the world or when there was a heat wave was not a wonderful thing and did not much of anything other than blow the heat around worse! I am definitely thankful that things have changed this week when it comes to air conditioner, but and that aged window air conditioner units are dirt cheap and central air conditioner systems can be affordable to average people, not to mention there are portable space heating systems now that can heat rooms in minutes along with portable air conditioner systems that can do the same however with cooling, and heating and air conditioner technology is a wonderful thing.
