Where we live now we have refrigerated air and a furnace with no pilot light.
Winterizing = set the thermostat switch to “Heat”.
Summerizing = set the thermostat switch to “Cool”.
If we had spent one more year in NM, our Ultracool would have been replaced with a refrigerated unit. I really hate swamp coolers.
Still have a pilot light. :)
Living at 7500’ means no cooling needed whatsoever.
In 12 years I can recall only 3 nights where the ceiling fan wasn’t enough.
I hate swampers too.
