They secretly wish they could, but their 100 year old houses aren't built for it, and despite them talking about insulation itt, their old houses are poorly insulated so ac would cost an arm and a leg with their €0.5/kWh electricity.

>Just let in the 100% humidity air bro
Or you can live in the 21st century and have an air conditioner. They work ridiculously efficiently at night when things get cooler but still balmy and humid outside. Many thermostats can do overcooling down a few more degrees to take advantage of that, which makes sleeping very comfy and lets the thermal mass of the house carry itself through the morning and early afternoon without having to run the aircon at all. This works because houses in the US are extremely well insulated since 20 years ago. Like 2/3rds of every goddamn wall is foam and fiberglass. You should know this since you pricks are always laughing about our 2x6 framing.

Check pic related. If you live in a 30+ zone then a properly sized heat pump can do all your HVAC. If you live in a 20 or lower zone, you will need supplemental heat for a few weeks a year. A lot of people choose to use resistive electric heat for those times, which is the most expensive way to heat generally, but it takes a lot of years of resistive heat on the super cold days to make up the cost of sliding a 20kBTU/hr propane furnace into your HVAC stack.
