"Central air" is a term I only learned the meaning of recently, but American TV assumes everyone knows what it is. Which is fair, if you all have it.

It's why no one has air conditioning in a lot of Europe. You'd have to have a separate system for each room, it would get very expensive very quickly, or I can buy a fan for the equivalent of $20. I know in places like the south of Spain they actually do this, but it's not common.

In Spain we often have an air pump (sometimes two) in the house that can pump cold or hot hair depending on what you set it to. Mostly for cold in summer, but it comes handy when radiators aren't enough in winter.

Air pumps will become the norm in Germany in a few years to phase out gas heating in private homes. Some also use it for cooling in summer. Although the one family I know that has it cools a water tank that is circulated in the ceilings of the house to cool it down without wind or noise
