Air Conditioning Appreciation Day 2025

Lately the weather has been firey. In the vernacular it's been hot as Hell.

Frequent daytime temperatures of 100 degrees. Add to that upwards of 80 percent humidity for equally extended periods of time.

It had approached the point where I was actually feeling pretty doggone moist all the time.

We are now in Air Conditioning Appreciation Days under the auspices of the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute which are observed from July 3 to August 15 annually.

These days acknowledge the invention and role of air conditioning in society.

The objective is to recognize that HVAC units cool homes, regulate temperatures in clinical settings, and filter allergens out of the air.

Additionally, the day emphasizes the need to properly clean and maintain your air conditioning units.

The modern air conditioner was invented in 1902 by one Willis Haviland Carrier.

Since then the invention has played a significant role in modern society, particularly in the sweltering white hot heat and humidity of South Carolina summers.

When I was a child we did not have air conditioning until I was in the fifth grade.

I simply do not think I could stand the heat and humdity stress these days.
