Yeah, that comment doesn't make sense. I live in an area that is very hot and humid for most of the year. I have lived in places with wall units and then places with central a/c. There is no question that central a/c units are vastly superior if you live in a hot climate.
Oh hells bells bella belle, that's just the way we like life on Louisiana's riviera, hot and sticky, add a bit of spice and call it paradise.
The old plantation homes were engineering marvels in managing temperatures before AC.
Houses built today are designed to use the most energy to keep them comfortable. I personally believe it's a intentional design to feed the utility company in perpetuity.
I spent many a happy summers in a AC-less plantation home in Terrebonne Parish.

Tall ceilings, large crawl spaces, ceiling fans, floor fans, attic fans. Operable transom windows above interior doors, gables windows in the attic. Breezy ways, bull runs, wrap around verandas, screen in porches downstairs and upstairs.
Many are not prepared for what is on the way, we should all rethink life with limited access to energy, as the idiots start their rolling blackouts.
/s no, no, he's got a point. Central A/C does not blow cold air into a building on a hot day.
Most confusing comment of the day award goes to... Copperselectrons.

Yep - live in the south south - it's hot and humid and window units are more costly on the power bill than central units.

Pay today play tomorrow.
Stay cool my Cajun Cousin
When my grandmother was alive - she had a huge attic fan that ran all summer - awesome breeze and never hot lol
