Weird issue. I’ve lived 70 years in Alberta and just put up with the 10 hot days per year that we get

There goes my rent up $300! I'd rather get my own air conditioning

Jessica :
You contradicted yourself. Should it be mandatory for landlords to provide AC? But many tenants can't afford the electricity to run them. How would that work?

Adrian :
if it is illegal to turn off heat to a home in the winter, there should be a legal maximum for homes as well

"This will cost too much" If only there was a program in which citizens pay a portion of their income in order to pay for public services, And where those that earn more pay more. Wouldnt that be nice

I bought a 7000 btu portable for $450. My power bill is up $30 a month and I run it every day. Totally worth it.

my apartment hasn't gotten cooler than 28 for almost 3 weeks now 🥵🥵🥵

I think education on keeping a home cool should be mandatory. Baffles me that my neighbors home is 5-10 degrees warmer than mine in the summer (no AC involved).

While I definitely agree with you, I wonder if our electical grid could handle that much added. The UCP would have to allow those large renewable projects (horror for them). 1/1

Since we're probably not going to do anything about the climate crisis, making it surviviable for the population is the next bare minimum, and sadly probably another one we will fail to meet because of capitalism

My mom’s place was 37.5 last week, was told by her building management that I’m not allowed to give her a portable AC unit. 😳

In that there also needs to be discussions about how to reduce the heat outside. Areas with more concrete and fewer trees are warmer, and wealth is a component of that discussion.

I have a friend who got a portable air condotioner and the electrical circuitry in the appartment isn’t able to support air conditioning. Their home is over 30 degrees for MONTHS at a time.

Chris S92489 :
I am all for AC as a right, but would the tenants be able to afford the large increase in power for window units? In Alberta that can be an about $150 to $200 a unit/month.

and schools please. Most Ontario public schools don't have AC

Fel 🇵🇸 :
my building has no central AC, and we have to pay for our own window units. mine broke. I live on the 9th floor and it's a concrete building. I've been dying this past week, even with a fan

I'm forced to work in a kitchen that 38C on the regular here in Alberta. it's brutal but I have to pay my bills somehow. it's impossible to escape the heat

when I was a kid, my family couldn't afford air conditioning. We hung out at Woolco OFTEN. Dinner at the red grill when it was too hot to cook inside.

lornam59 :
Been saying this for years. Albertans have had record high temps for years now and nothing has been done to help with air conditioning. It needs to become law that all rentals have air conditioning.

Jay-Gee :
Given that some units have ac and some do not when searching for a place, why accept a unit that does not have ac?

Devoe :
No AC in my previous home. Last summer was legitimately hell. Freezing buckets of water to put behind a fan, sleeping on a twin mattress with my son on the floor. New house. AC installed in May. 😳

Super.scorpio🍉🍁 :
unfortunately not all buildings can handle the electrical side of having AC I worked in a senior home in AB that didn't have it for this reason breakers would go when ppl installed them intheir window

Xavvy-says-no 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 :
we need legal max temperature legislation. it should also be illegal for car manufacturers to sell cars that don't have adequate AC

!!!!!BC has a program for free portable air conditioners for seniors and low income people!!!

unfortunately there is some buildings cannot have AC installed due to capacity. I own a unit in one

Oh that reminds me: if you take ssri or tca medications you have a higher risk of overheating conditions like heat stroke. So if taking something for anxiety or depression make sure you stay hydrated!

im in central AB I have no air conditioning but also have a med condition that prevents me from using certain cooling options🥺😡

bubbleslake :
This guy 🤣 talking about renters being the only ones without ac🤣 I have lived in AB all my life, own my own home and never have had ac. We get very few days out of the entire year that would justify

Little Rabbits 🇨🇦🏳️🌈 :
I still don’t understand this in Paris France most places do not have AC as they believe it makes u sick (there is evidence) and their power grid can’t sustain that power load.

xweebhunterx :
so the city needs to put in bylaws to have central cooling or AC. the issues shouldn't be on the landlord vs the city, which could be doing more things like planting trees too.

Fun fact 🙄: there is a way to large amount of seniors buildings that don’t have a/c in their rooms

I have never lived with air conditioning. never. I don't feel the need as long as ambient temps are lower than body temps.

Allie 🇨🇦 :
BC gave money to Municipal Govs to enact free air conditioning units for low income people, and grants to landlords to upgrade buildings.

Karlie 🇨🇦🏳️🌈🧡 :
We are very lucky and were able to buy a house in 2019. One of my requirements was central A/C because I have chronic illnesses+meds that easily cause overheating. It should be required.

Brad Atkinson :
just use the climate rebate to pay to be cooler.

Michael B Robinson :
People should just be allowed to have air conditioners in their homes. Some places don’t even allow them.

I agree in general but having grown up in Alberta it never used to be a real problem. This is a new issue for Western Canada.

BC has proposed a new building code that requires at least one area in any abode to not exceed temperatures of 27°C. And that was directly because of the 619 people who died.
