Not having AC is fairly common here and, personally, I see no reason to pay for a unit and the electricity to run it just so I can refrigerate myself for those nine days a year (average) when it's over 90 degrees. Fans, open windows, sitting on the deck in the shade, a cold shower, or even going to the LQS all work just fine instead...and all but possibly that last one are much less expensive indeed.
