July 17 is the coolest date on the calendar.

It marks National Air Conditioning Day, commemorating the work of Willis Carrier, the father of the modern-day indoor air conditioning system. It is the perfect time to put your feet up, chill out, and luxuriate in the cool comfort of your Mississippi home.

As the temperatures begin to rise in Purvis, many homeowners are firing up their air conditioners for the first time in months. But what if, instead of a refreshing blast of cool air, you’re hit with an unpleasant smell?

Dust, debris, and even pet hair can accumulate in your system, reducing efficiency and potentially leading to unexpected breakdowns.

While Mississippi enjoys terrific weather most of the year, our summers can quickly get muggy and hot. Those high temperatures—along with the humidity—demand a reliable AC unit. That means you need a nearby heating and cooling company you can trust to maintain your HVAC system year-round.

Today’s air conditioner (AC) is based on a prototype invented in 1902 by Willis Carrier, an engineer from Buffalo, New York. Unlike earlier forms of cooling, Carrier’s model controlled the temperature by removing heat and humidity from the air.

The U.S. Department of Energy raised the minimum efficiency requirements for central air conditioners and heat pumps starting in 2023.
