It’s a bit surprising to learn that the very first modern electrical air conditioning unit was invented in Buffalo, New York. What need did they have for cold AC up in the tundra? Still, that’s where the first air conditioner was created in 1902 by Willis Carrier. It was not the cheapest air conditioner.

The Evolving Air Conditioner
You would think the first private home to have air conditioning might be in Naples, Fort Myers, or Sarasota, Florida – but, no, it was the home of Charles Gates in chilly Minneapolis in 1914. He didn’t have the cheapest air conditioner either.
Post War High Tech AC
But, air conditioning was by no means cheap in those days – it was a luxury – and in fact, in 1945, an engineer named Robert Sherman invented the portable, window A/C unit that cooled, heated, dehumidified, and more. Where was this? In icy Massachusetts of all unlikely places.
The Cheapest Air Conditioner of All
