Already 13% has air condition, and half of those are the crappy portable AC type where you put a hose through the window.

Sales are on the increase as summers are hotter. We even see apartment dwellers in Norway getting these

A lot of people have bought crappy AC to help cope with the five to ten days of heatwave a year. They're not running often.
I've been running mine for about a month. Depends on your house, how much it traps heat, etc.

Really it's besides the point - you might not need a plunger to unclog the toilet or a fire extinguisher or a first aid kit often, but when you do, you really need it!
