I have solar panels so I'm virtually polluting nothing with 3 ACs running. They also get to cool the house down to 22-24° pretty quickly so they just stay in idle until there's a 1 degree variance.

That being said, ACs in the USA are too much man, I think the insulation is not enough and the ACs just run freely without ever reaching the temp limit (or they have mad limits like 16°). I mean I was the only one with long jeans at PlebLab lmao

Here there’s also the anecdote of catching a fever while using air conditioning, but it’s not AC’s fault directly. The colder you are, the more vulnerable you become to catching a fever, especially if you experience quick temperature changes. And if you don't clean the damn AC filters you're gonna get sick.
