Willis Carrier “The Father of Air Conditioning” was the original inventor of the modern air conditioning we are so thankful to have today.

And within a year from when he began his experiments, he was able to complete his invention. Although it wouldn’t be until 1915 before he founded the Carrier Engineering Corporation.
