agree. We are visiting the PNW and are here during the heat wave. Luckily sons house has a/c but not really equipped for such high temps over a long period of time. Plus newer houses aren’t built for heat. We didn’t use oven. Their heat works fine in winter. We live in the south and think our a/c systems are built for long periods of heat and humidity.
