I love that you simply cannot imagine that houses without air conditioning could exist. In a thread about the weather in Canada, even.

Having no AC because it rarely gets hot is like having no roof on your house because it never rains. It's a silly risk to take, especially when heat pump systems cool and heat the house equally well and much more efficiently than furnaces or resistive heaters.

I live in a developed country where, I estimate, less than 1% of houses have AC.
