My experience with air conditioners are they are useless and a waste money with Calgary's climate. Places like Kelowna to some degree and warmer climates they are a necessity.
I had one in my last home and our most recent home we built I made sure not to add one. The cost and benefit doesn't add up in Calgary's climate where we might have a few days in the summer where it'd be a luxury to have. I shut the shutters and windows during the day and open the windows at night. Cheap and effective. Tomorrow we are back to normal weather and all will be good.
