Myth Busters: Heating Edition II
Heating your home efficiently can be tricky which is why we addressed four heating myths back in February. Now it is time to address myths #5 through #8!     Myth #5: Space Heaters Are an Effective Alternative to Your Furnace   Solely relying on space heaters can become costly during the wintertime, because they are less efficient than a gas furnace.

The History of Air Conditioning
In today’s America, air conditioning is often taken for granted. In fact, according to the Energy Information Administration, 100 million American homes have air conditioners, adding up to 87% of all American households. However, it has not always been like that, and it took almost two centuries and numerous smart brains to invent today’s beloved air conditioner. Primitive air conditioning started long before the United States were created, when wealthy citizen in the ancient Rome circulated cool water through the …
