    Air conditioning is anything to change a property of the air, anytime someone heats/cools/humidifies/dehumidifies/changes pressure/adds/removes/or moves air they are air conditioning.
    Refrigeration is the act of moving heat energy.
    Furnace is something that heats up matter.
    Boiler is something that heats a fluid.
    There is no such thing as cold.
    The hardest part of your job is getting the panel doors back on.
    Don't ever ask someone a question that can be answered with a multimeter.
