I am not running central air in my little house, I consider it a waste. I have one window unit in my bedroom, because I must be cool in order to sleep. The rest of the house stays as open as possible.

No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful. -
I work outside so i feel the effect of the heat somewhat more keenly than my compatriots. 90F is not a lot of fun. thats an exceedingly rare temperature in the southern UK even when you take the London city heat into account.
I feel there is a cultural dissconnect between the old world and the new. I am fairly well traveled yet the first time I encountered individual room air con was when i went to new york. It just not something that happens in northern europe, unless you have money excreted from every orifice. Why this is the case is as much your guess as it is mine.
One thing to note is 'central air' is an entirely unknown and alien concept here. Central heating is both a necessity and a way of lifeSafer worlds through superior firepowerComment

That's because Europe is Canada with a warm ocean current keeping it habitable.Comment

Funny that all these people saying "man the hell up" will probably ***** when it's -40C/F in a Calgary winter.

Strange, BK has really ****ed up in this thread revealing a number of his DL's. I mean, he's the only one that has the ability to not understand what he's reading / deliberately twist it into something not expressed.
I feel fine at 32 degrees celsius, even if negative (that's just a matter of proper clothing) - have even tried 40 degrees celsius visiting Malta (don't go there in July
) because it was a nice Saharan DRY wind wind that caused it. It's the goddamn moisture that turns me 
Edit: Asher, I hope you take notes so you know when talking with Ben
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Yes, humidity is awful. Everyone knows this. That is why we did not bother to discuss it.Comment

Typical Ben, changing subject

Central air is a relatively simple add-on if you already have a forced air heating system. The pricey part is the big compressor / radiator unit mounted on the cement base outside. THAT will cost a couple thousand, depending entirely on how much house you have and how cool you want it.Originally posted by Snotty View Post
Window units are anywhere from $800 down to below $100, with most units falling toward the low end.
Heat pumps are becoming more popular in areas where winter brings a chill but doesn't get too cold.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

BC, you should live in Wales. Weather has been an awesome 20-25c and sunny for weeks - most days I'm in work in shorts!

There was a tremendous hail storm in Calgary yesterday, it was snowing today and planes need to be de-iced while leaving the airport now.
I can't wait to come home.

I did this... They had to prepare the water by blowing it up before we went through. It was ice obviously.Originally posted by Asher View PostFunny that all these people saying "man the hell up" will probably ***** when it's -40C/F in a Calgary winter.
I think I can handle Calgary assuming I have a coat.
although now that you're talking about snow in July...
