AC is much more affordable for me so that's the route I took. Thankfully our place has good insulation so it's normally not too big of an issue.

I always invite my friends who live in older buildings and let them know they can WFH from my place if needed haha

Yeah, I realize that sounded a little callous, now. We WFH and are self-employed, so "travel" doesn't always mean vacation, just a new view over the laptop for the workday. And mid-week camping at higher elevations (as long as I have data service) is an inexpensive way to beat the heat.

Lowes and Bi-Mart had smoking deals on portable AC units earlier this year. With an older place and no central air, that was a lifesaver.
