An old style of HVAC

An old style of HVAC

Nick November 12, 2019

I have always wondered back in the victorian era, how were the people able to stay cool during the sweltering Summers? I have also wondered how those people kept warm in the winters.

  • I believe that they had steam boilers for heat in that time, but what about a/c? I have tried doing some research on this subject but have come up with nothing! There are a lot of people wondering the same thing I am about a/c in that era of the world, but there is no documentation about what went on to supply those people cool air when it was truly sizzling outside! Obviously they had to do something to stay cool.

This is just common sense. Otherwise, wouldn’t all the people have been dead instantly? Especially in the southwestern part of the United States of America. That is a really hot region! And back then, I am sure it was no different. Maybe they made buckets of ice and poured it on themselves, or, maybe some genius did come up with the concept of the a/c. It is something that I think we will never think for sure. I have hunted through multiple websites on the internet, have clicked multiple live links for more information on the subject. But, those live links proved to be a bunch of fake websites, so I finally stopped researching this subject of a/c in the victorian era.
