Global Warming is changing that. Anecdotally in my observations, more new houses in France now have AC whereas it was rare only 5 years ago.

Global warming is not that much difference. People just can afford ac now so they buy it.

Given I have skipped last year (due to COVID) but we'd been in France every summer for the previous 5 years and it's gotten hotter and hotter - resulting successive record breaking summers.

I think the decline of the jet stream is a bigger deal for Europe than the US. Hotter summers and colder winters.

People are also fatter and less tolerant of warm weather.

Heat pumps are an efficient way of heating in the winter, and double as AC in the summer.

Reversible ac are more energy efficient that heater, x3 I think
