Heating, Cooling, and Reshaping the City

These days, before a structure is ever built, how the air conditioning and heating works is taken closely into consideration and even frequently augments the original design of a building or home. When looking into the design of a city, where buildings stand that were built in the early 20th century, many of these buildings where HVAC systems were an afterthought now contain window units that contribute to not just the building, but also the city's overall design. Many city dwellers take for granted just how much these strictly-utilitarian objects have reshaped the architecture of many cities that refuse to age due to existing buildings that have stood since before the window unit HVAC system was ever developed. Concentrating more on the unintended design of urban scenery,  Architecture Lab Online Magazine helps bring out how these machines free of artistic design have actually helped reshape the look of the modern downtown metropolis.

Heads Up: Window Unit Air Conditioners Strike

If you've ever walked through crowded metropolis, you will notice the number of window-unit air conditioners perched on window ledges many floors above the city sidewalks. While most all of them are firmly secured in place, there are a few that could stand to have another look by an air conditioner repair professional. For one New York City resident, one close encounter with an air conditioner left him grateful to be alive. As 67-year-old Vietnam War vet Anthony Franzese was lounging in a chair outside his apartment one afternoon, one such loose air conditioner fell from the window of his apartment building, broke through a local wine-bar awning, and struck him. The man reportedly escaped the freak accident with minor injuries, but that didn't keep the owner of the air conditioner from feeling terrible about the incident and offered to watch the man's dog while he recovered.

Only when an air conditioner fails to perform properly does this lack of appreciation for this device come to the forefront of one's mind and quickly shifts to one of immense gratitude when the air conditioning unit is repaired. Back before the days of air conditioning (or affordable air conditioning, anyways) much of industry would shut down during the hottest parts of the year when working conditions were simply unbearable in large warehouses, offices, and other business locations.

By regularly checking and/or changing out your air filter, not only will your air conditioner thank you with quality performance but your electric bill will thank you because your air conditioner is performing efficiently.
