Calgary Engineer Creates Clever Air Conditioning Alternative for Under $140

Calgary Inventor Is Stirring Up the Cooling Industry – Big AC Brands Are Not Happy

by Sarah Mitchell May 7, 2026

Calgary — What started as a frustration-driven experiment in a small Canada garage is now turning into one of the country's fastest-selling home cooling gadgets. The idea is simple: a compact portable device that cools any room in under two minutes — delivering real air conditioning performance at a fraction of the usual cost.

"$800 for an air conditioner? There has to be a better solution."

That's exactly what Thomas Berger (54), an aerospace thermal engineer from Calgary, Canada, asked himself when he looked at the price tags in his local hardware store.

"Every summer it's the same story," Thomas explains.

"A decent window unit costs $800. A portable AC costs even more. And then you're paying $200 to $300 every month just to run it. I kept thinking — there has to be a smarter way to do this."

With over a decade of experience designing thermal control systems for aerospace applications — the technology that keeps satellite instruments from melting in orbit — Thomas had the engineering background to do something about it.

The Idea: Cool the Air Without the Expensive Machine

"The concept isn't complicated," Berger says. "Your room already has air in it. The key is pulling that warm air in, cooling it rapidly, and pushing it back out — without the compressor, without the refrigerant, and without the electricity bill that comes with them."

After several months of prototyping in his garage — testing airflow configurations and cooling chamber geometries, applying the same thermal engineering principles he'd spent his career developing — he built a working prototype.

The result?

Real cooling performance in any room, in under two minutes, without bulky machines, refrigerant, or expensive installation.

The First Test: The Neighbours Couldn't Believe It

"I set the prototype up in my living room when it was 35°C and pressed the button," Berger recalls. "Within two minutes the thermometer read 17°C. I ran it four more times just to be sure."

What happened next surprised even him.

"My neighbour came over — he's a retired HVAC technician, 35 years in the industry. He walked into the room, checked the thermometer, looked at the device, and just went quiet. Then he asked how soon he could have one."

Before long, everyone on the street wanted one. That prototype became ClimRapid.

From Garage Experiment to 60,000 Homes Across the Canada

What started as a personal engineering challenge eventually became ClimRapid — a patented portable cooling device now used in more than 60,000 households across the Canada.

Why ClimRapid Is So Popular

Cools any room from 35°C to 17°C in under 2 minutes — tested, repeatable, consistent
Uses up to 90% less electricity than a window AC — runs for hours on minimal power consumption.
No installation required — plug in and press one button. Ready in 30 seconds.
Whisper-quiet at under 40 decibels — quieter than a library, runs while you sleep
Completely portable at under two pounds — move it from bedroom to office to RV without thinking twice

Who Is ClimRapid Ideal For?

ClimRapid is designed for anyone who wants to:

- Cool a bedroom, living room, or home office without a permanent AC unit
- Stop paying $200–$300 every month just to be comfortable at home
- Get real cooling performance in a rental where window units aren't allowed
- Keep an elderly parent or young child cool without running a full central system
- Enjoy portable, on-demand cooling for RVs, garages, or outdoor covered spaces

Why ClimRapid Is in Such High Demand

With summer arriving earlier and heatwaves hitting harder every year, demand for ClimRapid is surging.

"We can barely keep up with production," Berger admits.

The problem: as a small Canada company, Berger cannot manufacture unlimited quantities.

"We currently have around 3,200 units left in stock. Once they're gone, it will take at least 8 weeks until the next delivery."
