Fans or air-conditioner?

That's good for you. I am living in an apartment building and I don't have a garden like you. And the temperature is hotter in the city. So it is common for us to have air-conditioners. Of course I also have fans at home and sometimes I use the fan when the weather is not so hot.

I live in Central Europe. The climate here doesn't ask for air conditioning. Stifling hot days are extremely rare.

I use fan because it saves my electricity than ac but I am still wanting ac someday.

I envy that.. That sounds like our native house. We have around 15 hall like rooms with ceiling so high and few windows in each for cross ventilation. We never felt the need of air conditioning there with such a huge campus full of greenery. Bangalore as such has a pleasant weather. I have one air conditioner in our master bedroom but it's used for a week in peak summer here. My house has nice cross ventilation in each room

The climate here is quite good. I only use air conditioning in July and August during the summer, and I don't need to use air conditioning at other times

I mainly use fan. I only turn on the window air-conditioner when it's really hot.

I am lucky to live in an area where central air is commonplace. With the humidity in Florida having windows open isn't ideal. And, if you have a pet or two really not ideal. That being said, I prefer a combination of both.

Our electric fans ran for a long time all day and night. We aircon in the afternoon and early at night

We have both here..my real choice would be to have none. But it is not possible here.

I prefer whole house air conditioning.

We just use fans right now

So far air-conditioning has never been a requirement in the UK, at least not in homes. Larger workplaces tend to have it, and it is usually set too high. After we moved to a new building at work, I never had the opportunity to wear any summer clothes for years as it was always way too cold!

I have AC here but rarely use it.

We don't have air conditioning, so we use fans.

The windows are not in good repair at my house. I really like fresh air. I am running the air conditioning--a window unit--in the office this evening. It is not really that hot though.I hope by next summer I will be better able to use the windows.

We have to have air conditioning in my apartment. I have one window in my bedroom, and one “patio” door (there is no patio) that opens. With temperatures constantly in the 100s during the summer, you’d get heat stroke if you didn’t have air conditioning. They didn’t put a ceiling fan in my apartment, but even if I had one, it wouldn’t be enough. I have a fan I plug in, but it can’t do enough to keep my place cool.

Air conditioning for me when it's stifling hot.

I am glad l don't have to use air conditioning - l find it stifling. Fans keep us cool when needed.

Fans are useless and the air-conditioner causes headaches. I have a fan, but it doesn't cool a room.

air conditioning units are too expensive so why not use electric fan or other device that can give you a cold effect.
