We use air conditioning to "condition the air" in our homes to make the dwellings more comfortable. There are a number of geoclimatic areas where the weather brings in long stretchs of hot days (and nights). Temperatures in excess of 90 °F (or even 100 °F)are possible for many days in a row, and air conditioning provides a way to take the edge off this heat inside our homes. We can use refrigeration technology to maintain our homes at something a shade under 80 °F so we can be more comfortable.

When was air conditioning created?
The method of air conditioning was never officially created. One of the first methods was when women in china would use fans.
When was central air conditioning invented?
central air conditioning is invented in 1902. You can read the history of it and find out more information about air conditioning at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioning
When was the First Central Air Conditioning Heating Unit Made?
US patent number 808897 was granted in 1906 to Willis Haviland Carrier. The patent was for an "apparatus for treating air". Today, Carrier is considered the "father" of air conditioning. His original intention was to treat air for industrial purposes-manufacturers of certain products struggled in hot climates, the heat affecting production. Carrier, an engineer, was the first person to figure out that you had to control a number of things if you wanted to cool down a building-temperature, humidity, air purity, movement of air, and air supply and exhaust. By the 1920s, smaller air conditioning units were appearing in private homes. Theatres, department stores, hospitals, banks, and offices were already using air conditioning-the bigger places used a central air conditioning system devised by the Carrier Corporation. When the Depression of the 1930s hit, not many air conditioning units were sold, but after the Second World War, things picked up. Nowadays if you live in a really hot place in North America, not having air conditioning is unusual.
