I’m 82 and have had Central AC for the last 15 years.
No way would I give it up,I spent 67 years without it.

I grew up in Sapulpa OK without heat or AC. We did have a water cooler in the kitchen window. But that was at the back of the house and the bedrooms were upstairs on the other side of the house. There was a floor furnace under the house that sent warmed air into the doorway area between living and dining rooms. That air never made it upstairs to the bedrooms. We didn’t have fans. This was 1954 till summer 1967. It was SO HOT! And winters were very very cold. Summers 100s F, winters 0 F. Then my folks bought a new house with AC in 1967. I will never go back.
