South Western US and Air Conditioning.

For the moment, lets disregard auto AC. I am not world traveled at least not on any frequesnt or recent times. As i understand the SouthWestern United States is very hot and dry (low humidity) during the summer and maybe in some places all year 'round.

So What kind of HOUSEHOLD air conditioning is generaly found in SW states????? Everyone have central AC units or use several window units or what??? Is the household AC operated 24-7 for several months continuously???

Bottom line: how does everyone out there keep the house cool???

IMPORTANT EDIT: By AC or Air condtioning i mean refrigeration units that remove humidity AND blow cold air.
