Where in the US do people stop having furnaces? I was talking with a colleague from Shanghai and he said it's not common there to have heating, so in the winter when it gets down close to freezing it's pretty cold. Here it's not common for people to have A/C so days in the mid 80's can be a bit much for sleeping at night, especially when the house design here isn't really geared to stopping the heat from coming in.

Also unrelated question, do many people have below ground basements? Here we do because of frost, but I remember going to Phoenix and it seemed as most of the houses have crawl spaces below the house or something and I thought that was weird because it would be so nice and cool in the basement in the summer if you had one.
