I'm in the northeast US and grew up without A/C. My house now has central A/C, but I still think of it as unnecessarily opulent and I feel bad about using it. I keep the setpoint pretty high most of the time, unless someone else comes over to visit and complains. The number of people who just leave their A/C at 70 F and leave it is just staggering to me.
- the_only_law 4y agoI live in Florida and AC and if I leave the AC off or too high, I'm sweating in my own home. I'd ofc be thrilled to find an alternative cooling method that works quickly and well in humid climates, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to exist yet (dry heat people apparently have other options tho)
- yencabulator 4y agoAn evap cooler in a dry climate can cool indoors to maybe 20 F lower than outdoors, but when outdoors goes to 100 F, there's not much that can be done by adding water vapor.
