Central heat's also in every house I've seen here. I guess that kinda makes sense, but sheesh, no air conditioning just SOUNDS so evil, even in Alaska it would sound evil somehow... I guess I'm not used to the concept of places where you actually know what the weather will be like. Months at a time? Well, on the whole it's hot, but it shifts around quite a bit at totally random intervals.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering, a number of people here have the air conditioning on in the dead of winter, on cold days, because they REALLY like the cold. It takes a SUPER cold day to actually require the heat to be turned on, and it's pretty quickly turned to cold.
Here's my question, what do your thermostats look like? I mean, doesn't it look incomplete with just "heat-off-nothing" instead of "cold" in the third switch place?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
