Gravity furnaces, known as “octopus furnaces,” have a rich history. First installed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these systems used natural convection. Warm air rose from the central furnace and spread through the home via large, gravity-fed ducts, resembling octopus arms. These early heating systems laid the groundwork for modern HVAC technology.
The nickname “octopus furnace” perfectly fits these early heating systems. Like an octopus, they were designed to efficiently heat homes using clever design and adaptability. These systems reflect our core values: intelligent design, adaptability, and comprehensive efficiency.
At Shelter Air, we chose Seraphina, our octopus mascot, to embody intelligence, adaptability, and environmental consciousness. Octopuses are known for their problem-solving abilities and adaptability, qualities we mirror in our HVAC solutions. Plus, let’s face it, octopuses are just plain cool!
Choosing an octopus as our mascot reflects our values of intelligence, adaptability, and comprehensive service. Like the octopus furnace, Seraphina symbolizes our commitment to innovative, efficient, and environmentally conscious HVAC solutions. At Shelter Air, we create environments where you can thrive.
Spiritually, the octopus symbolizes complexity, mystery, and creativity. It thrives in diverse environments and overcomes obstacles, just as we do at Shelter Air. Seraphina is more than a mascot; she represents our commitment to intelligent, adaptable, and comprehensive HVAC solutions.
