Living in Phoenix, I've used the AC every month of the year. The heat gets used for a few minutes in the morning in Dec - Feb, and when we visit our Northern neighbors. That said, when the estimate to repair the AC went over a thousand bux, we decided it just wasn't worth it for the minimal amount of cooling we got, even when the van was new. We sweat more now.
