    They often go on clearance soon- check home stores as fall sets in. We got a snow blower after Christmas one year for 1/4 the normal sticker price.

        My car doesn’t have insulation either but the AC absolutely makes a difference. Maybe your AC unit isn’t working - 40 years is a long time for a unit, may need cleaning or recharging, or just replacing.

        Come to think of it, the house I grew up in didn’t have insulation either, and we’d have died with window AC units in the summer.

    There is no AC in the truck, and I live in Texas. Definitely can’t wait for winter (that’s the only time it’s cold)

    You should get an air conditioner. Even just a little window unit, so there’s one room of your home that’s tolerable.

    I’m already in a state of holding off on turning on my furnace. Had frost on my windshield the other morning. The afternoons are still warm enough to heat up the house with the curtains open and it’s glory sleeping at night with the windows open. I did have a hydronic space heater on for a little bit this morning, though.
