Hello from Europe that is currently undergoing a summer heatwave! I was wondering if airconditioning is expensive in the US?

I once visited my friend in Florida a long time ago, and in their bungalow they had automatic airconditioning which I found interesting back then - like literally built into the building and there was a slot in the wall just beneath the ceiling from where the air came in.

Then I read comments how Americans criticize how many Europeans do not have airconditioning at home.

I currently live in Spain, and even here most households do not have it. Installations cost a few thousand euros, and if you do have it and want to use it, be prepared to get the triple price of your electric bill.
