We rely on space heaters.

Brisbane's avg winter high is around 72 F (22 C) with lows around 50 F (10 C) and summer ranges from mid-80s F (30 C) to low 70s F (20s C) with very low humidity. We do have a portable oil heater, similar to a radiator, that we use on the odd occasion when the temp drops into the single digits Celsius overnight, but fortunately, that's not too often!

Is it sad that I have a hard time understanding how I survived growing up without central AC? googly-eyes on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170758 Sun, 27 May 2012 21:38:06 +0000 googly-eyes 170758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, we have a wall unit. A lot of apartments do here, or at least a lot of the ones we looked at. We'd prefer to have it though, so we'll see what we can find when we move out of this place! regberadaisy on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170733 Sun, 27 May 2012 20:50:18 +0000 regberadaisy 170733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our current house has central air & heat. Our new house has central air and a boiler system. Best of both worlds! My brothers live in Staten Island & Queens and they both have central air & heat! mamabolt on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170712 Sun, 27 May 2012 20:04:51 +0000 mamabolt 170712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have both in our current house, but our previous house we had central heat and window unit AC. Central AC was a must when we started househunting for this place! dagret on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170696 Sun, 27 May 2012 19:45:36 +0000 dagret 170696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a heat pump, which acts as both central heat and a/c. yoursilverlining on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170666 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:31:20 +0000 yoursilverlining 170666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have central heat (and backup monitor heater upstairs) but no central air. I don't really like air conditioned air, and we really only would have use for it a couple weeks at most during the year. We have 2 mobile AC units which are more than enough to cool the main floor of the house if it gets miserable. I doubt we'll ever get central AC as we plan to build and the cost would be an additional $11k-14k for the house. I can't justify spending that kind of money on something we would barely use!! photojane on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170659 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:26:12 +0000 photojane 170659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ everyone here has central heat and air. i don't think i've ever been in a house/building here that doesn't have it. we're a four season climate, so it's definitely needed. the summers average 98-100 degrees with almost 100% humidity (that's like 110 degrees, y'all!), so obviously central ac is necessary! ChelseaRose on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170654 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:22:19 +0000 ChelseaRose 170654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have central heat and no a/c. In the area where we live it rarely gets over 90 degree, so it isn't such a big deal. We own a wall/window unit that we used in our apartment, but it is just sitting in te garage used for the past two years that we've been in this house. We do have a whole house fan in the hallway, which is a great way to bring in cooler air from outside during the summer evenings with the windows open. eeh on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170652 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:17:06 +0000 eeh 170652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Oh yes! Definitely need both in the middle of Kansas. Summers would be especially miserable (last summer we hit a record number of triple digit days with the highest being 114) without AC. Winters I suppose we could do with just our woodburning stove but I wouldn't want to be without that. BSB on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170650 Sun, 27 May 2012 18:13:14 +0000 BSB 170650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, we don't have central air. We don't have AC either. We do have heat in our apt. We are usually fine with just fans. Although, if there is an heat wave, we have to suffer through it. Luckily, it doesn't happen that often for us. prettylizy on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170647 Sun, 27 May 2012 17:56:30 +0000 prettylizy 170647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Both central air and forced air gas heat..... I would die without AC in the summer and Canadian winters need heat! MsMini on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170623 Sun, 27 May 2012 17:12:21 +0000 MsMini 170623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Central heat/air with a good built-in humidifier, and a really nice "smart" climate and humidity control system. I don't know how I would live without it! Mrs. Jacks on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170622 Sun, 27 May 2012 17:11:37 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 170622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have radiant heating downstairs (such delicious heat), a forced air heater upstairs and a swamp cooler for cooling. More than sufficient for here. lavender on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-170618 Sun, 27 May 2012 17:07:27 +0000 lavender 170618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope! We have forced hot water so it would be costly to install central. It's only really warm fro 3 months outa the year so we get by with window units. Modern Daisy on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-169003 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:28:54 +0000 Modern Daisy 169003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We just bought a place with radiator heat and window AC units, but it's only 800 sq ft so it's pretty easy to keep the place warm or cool. Plus it's a well maintained building and our inspector checked out the boiler before we entered into contract and it's in great condition. I've also been running the AC all week because of the humidity - I sleep so much better when it's cool! heffalump on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-168995 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:26:19 +0000 heffalump 168995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We live in Florida, we NEED it here. I'm pretty sure our neighbors don't have air because they're always sitting on the front porch. Always.

The temp is never right and it's always so dry in the winter. Love the central air though! BoogieBea on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-168981 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:22:03 +0000 BoogieBea 168981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have central air/heat in Portland where we currently live. But we're back in ny currently an only have window units. Can't believe how humid it is here already. MamaMoose on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-168966 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:14:41 +0000 MamaMoose 168966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Central air and heat. No central air would be pretty impossible during a Tennessee summer. I grew up with central/air heat and I tend to only use it when really necessary. I prefer the windows open if it's nice outside. My husband however did NOT have central air growing up so now he abuses the power!! I swear he'll turn the heat off, and then turn on the A/C the next day. I like to tell him he's a very delicate flower when it comes to temperature. He doesn't like that so much : ) Alivoo01 on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-168956 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:09:40 +0000 Alivoo01 168956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have central heat and air. @skibobrown: My aunts from Cali came to visit me the week prior to my wedding and they kept turning off my A/C because they claimed it was too cold. To the hubby and I, it was flipping hot! The temperature read 80 every day when I got home from work. skibobrown on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-168522 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:00:50 +0000 skibobrown 168522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We're in the SF Bay Area. We barely have heat, and we don't have any AC. Usually the weather here is pretty mild, so we can control the temperature pretty well by opening and closing windows and curtains. However, now that we have the baby I'd really like to have more control over regulating the temperature in our house.

I don't like window ac units, seems depressing to have one stuck in your window blocking your view. At my first apt we had one & it used to get nasty! Granted I was living with smokers at the time, but the filter would be black & gross & I would gross myself out thinking about breathing air from it mrs. wagon on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-168451 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:36:08 +0000 mrs. wagon 168451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Could NOT live without central a/c and heat!!!! hellobeeboston on "Do you have central ac and heat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-central-ac-and-heat#post-168433 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:31:17 +0000 hellobeeboston 168433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes! And so happy to have central a/c while I am pregnant over the summer!
