So i'll be moving for about a year or so this summer to washington and it being only a year i'm not selling my current house im just going to lease a house for a year

Everything im looking at does not have central air .. and these are all new construction houses that are ranging from 1900-2500 a month...I dont get it .. i thought AC was pretty standard.

Central AC is not standard in my AO as the temperatures do not require it. Normal summer temps are usually around mid seventies or less.

central air is standard here in Minnesota. We have brutal winters but also humid summers, it can get to the upper 90's with 90% humidity.

baddog · 01-02-2011, 08:33 PM

Why would you go through the expense of installing central air in a place like Washington? Heating, of course.

(above only applies to west half of the state)

Pseudonymous · 01-02-2011, 08:36 PM

Im not 100 percent sure about here but all the newer homes i've been in have them. And im in Vancouver, B.C Canada

It makes all the difference in the summer. I can't even work in my house in the summer without some sort of A/C. Its unbearable. I couldn't imagine being in a state in the south without it.

BJ · 01-02-2011, 08:47 PM

I am in Thailand and I have never seen central air in houses here, all wall or ceiling mounted units, and its hot always. Never understood why.

beerptrol · 01-02-2011, 08:54 PM

I was checking out Igloos at FrozenPolarBearBalls.com. and they didn't have central ac.

I lived in washington for a very long time - it gets hot. It may not do in the 100's like our currently locations but it gets high 80's low 90's and throw in some rain on top of that .. its nasty - I could see why i would want one

and ill be damned if im going to get window units for 2400sq houses lol

ShellyCrash · 01-02-2011, 09:21 PM

Central A/C is not standard in Washington State. I lived in Olympia for 2 years. Not only do alot of homes not have A/C, but alot of businesses don't have it either, even restaurants.

Most of the year it's fine, but there's like a month to a month and a half in the summer where it heats up on and off and if there's no breeze it really sucks. Also window screens aren't very standard either, so when you open a window to get the breeze, you really open a window. Not really a huge issue as flying bugs aren't a huge problem, but if you have pets you need to pay attention.

Young · 01-02-2011, 10:27 PM

Boston is cold 1/3 of the year. Central air is a must and practically standard for all new homes.

iSMOKE · 01-02-2011, 11:58 PM

wow thats strange....for a new home it should be standard in my opinion

abshard · 01-03-2011, 02:37 AM

In az its standard

woj · 01-03-2011, 07:13 AM

standard here around chicago

Rochard · 01-03-2011, 07:56 AM

Central air is standard here.

I went to visit a friend of mine in Montana last summer. Turns out they had a heat wave - and had no central air, no AC. Holy crap that sucked.

candyflip · 01-03-2011, 08:40 AM

My house is 100 years old and has Central Air.

It's pretty much standard in new construction, and we live in a climate where it's really only usable for 4 months out of the year.

BlackCrayon · 01-03-2011, 08:43 AM

even here in ottawa its standard now to have central air in new homes.

pornguy · 01-03-2011, 08:44 AM

We have the split systems like most other countries. Each room has it's own unit on the wall connected to the larger unit on the roof. Works well and cools just as well as Central.

magicmike · 01-03-2011, 08:45 AM

Standard where I live in Ontario.

Central a/c is standard here is north texas on newer homes. $120k town homes have central air these days.

Honez · 01-03-2011, 10:51 AM

It can be an option here. Our house had no central air before we moved in and even now that we have it (at least in half the house) we don't use it all that often.

Split systems are easier to install (no duct work to deal with), and in many instances, more efficient.

I just got back from a road trip to take my daughter to college in Everett Washington, the morning I left it was 21 degrees. I asked about the summer and they told me hot there was in the high 70's so I'm guessing you're not going to need it.
Now where I live in Redding, summer gets into the mid 120's in the shade, so new homes get A/C. Most older homes only have swamp coolers. I put a couple wall units in my house and only use them for a couple weeks out of the year.

Barry-xlovecam · 01-03-2011, 12:10 PM

Depends on the climate. If it gets 78°+ I use the a/c ... I wouldn't buy a new build around here w/o a/c.
