Hi, Tim -
It's been pretty hot here already this spring/summer, hit 30 degrees (Celsius). This place got pretty stuffy, it traps in the heat until you get the air moving. I have a good fan now, which makes it quite pleasant.

It's main heat is electric (hydro), and there's a back up wood cook stove. Like most of the homes here. We tend to get long power outages in this part of the world during the winter, due to avalanches, so wood heat is necessary.

Peace
