Do you have air conditioning?

Ohyeah. Gotta have it to live in the desert.

Nicci, 27

YES YES YES I HAVE AIR CONDITIONG NOT CENTRAL BYT A 20,000 BTU FOR THE HOUSE. DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT IT THIS YEAR.

Marci, 56
Diamond
, OH   USA

Yes, I have air conditioning and I turn it on when the temperature is above 80 degrees.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg

Sure do. Have to in the South.

Kevin, 35
Sugar Hill

Window units... but with the heat the way it was the past two weeks, I'm so thankful.

Fisch, 47
Preston
, CT   USA

Yes I do. I thank God every day for air conditioning. I remember not having it when I was a child. I hated the heat even then. I think if I didn't have it, I'd spend all my days in the bathtub.

Judy, 62
Easton
, KS   USA

yes we do

Brad, 21
Sydney  AUSTRALIA

Only at work and in two bedrooms of my house. I'd love to have it in the entire house with the hot humid Pennsylvania summers but it's definitly not afforable.

Em, 16
PA  USA

Yes. Thank God we have central air conditioning. The best money we ever spent!

No. For those nights when it's beastly hot, I take a shower before I go to bed. With the fan, that is usually enough to keep me cool. There aren't too many sweltering days in New England anyway.

Laura, 37

yes. central air

Melodi, 19

, OH   USA

As a Texan I better have air conditioning. It was 100 degrees yesterday but sometimes it is only 97. You bet I have A/C.

Laney
TX  USA

I sure do... in both of my vehicles and my home.

Doug2, 29
Overland Park
, KS  USA

Yes. It is part of central HVAC. Never use to use it, now constantly to keep apartment at comfortable temp for my pup.

Felicia, 36
Lowell
, MA   USA

Yes. Wouldnt be wouldnt be without.

Tam

Not yet, although we are supposed to get it soon.

Jeremy, 14
Highlands Ranch
, CO  USA

Yes. I can't imagine being with out it. For one, I don't think my computer would fair too well.

Firelady, 24
Frisco
, TX   USA

I do. Portland usually cools down enough at night that I wouldn't need it, except that my townhouse doesn't have particularly good cross-ventilation, so it holds the heat. I generally just turn the AC on for an hour or two to cool the house enough for good sleeping.

Jane, 62
West Linn
, OR   USA

Oh yeah.

Karen, 22
Ames
, IA   USA

Yes, but mine comes naturally. I live in the San Francisco Bay area. It is fog.

Christopher, 28
San Mateo
, CA   USA

YES, thank goodness! The heat has been unbearable and we've had it on for over a week, actually closer to two weeks. Thankfully we got to turn it off last night because the heat wave broke.

Tracy, 24
Ocean City
NJ  USA

Do you see the state I'm in. A resounding YES. Couldn't live without it.

Triana, 29
Austin
, TX   USA

Yes. I'm one of the 'crowd' who wonders how we ever lived without air-conditioning.

Reba, 50+
Silver Spring
, MD  USA

Of course I don't have air conditioning...who does? To keep cool I climb into the refrigerator or the freezer...and, to keep warm, I squeeze into the human, and crank the heat up to a toasty 350 degrees...

Themistocles, 31
Athens  GREECE

Yup, thank god.

Angela, 18
Bella Vista
, AR USA

Yes, We had central air installed about 3 years ago in the house. I don't know how I survived without it.

KarenNJ, 25
Milltown
, NJ   USA

Summer in NYC is impossible without air conditioning. For a few weeks, my boy and I didn't have any, and we fought constantly because we were always cranky and hot. I didn't sleep as well at night, so I'd be a worse worker the next day. When we got AC, our lives improved tenfold.
