Homes for sale in Tahoe City with air conditioning

Last Sunday, June 11, 2017, we had snow on the ground here in Tahoe City. It didn’t last long, and less than a week later, temperatures are now in the 80’s, so it’s no surprise as I was showing homes today, the question came up, are there homes for sale in Tahoe City with air conditioning?

Lake Tahoe is at an elevation of 6,200+ feet above sea level, and our hot weather and temperatures tend to be short lived. Yes, we will have 4-6 weeks of hot weather where having air conditioning would be a sweet treat, but the reality is very few homes, or condos have air conditioning in the greater Tahoe City – Truckee area.

As of today, Sunday, June 18, 2017 the day time high was expected to be 81 degrees and there were zero (0) homes for sale in Tahoe City with air conditioning.

Want to see all Tahoe City Homes for Sale – with and with out Air Conditioning?

Expanding our home search to include any home with air conditioning in the greater Tahoe City, North Shore, and West Shore areas , let’s call it the North Lake Tahoe area homes for sale with air conditioning, we have one (1) home for sale with AC!

You may be surprised that most of our restaurants do not have air conditioning. If you need that cold blast of air, get into your car and turn the AC up as you take a scenic ride around in our area until you cool off, or check out our local super markets. They have air conditioning, and who doesn’t enjoy a walk down the frozen food isle at this time of year!

So what do Tahoe City home owners do that do not have air conditioning? They do the following:

Open windows to create a natural breeze.
Use Floor Fans in the rooms you are in. We have them in our bedrooms, and in the TV room. I have a small desk fan that runs while I’m at work.
Close drapes and blinds. If your Tahoe property receives a lot of sunshine all day long, pull the drapes, or blinds closed on those windows to keep temperatures down, and then open them back up in the early evening.
Sleep on the ground floor, which is always cooler that upstairs.

Since our really hot weather tends to only last a few weeks, most home owners haven’t installed air conditioning units, neither window, or central AC. The use of floor fans is probably the easiest, cheapest, and fastest way to cool down while still enjoying your time here in North Lake Tahoe area.

Tahoe Home Buyer Tip | Get an air conditioning installation bid during escrow. If you think you’ll need AC, don’t limit your property to search to only homes that have AC (we have so few you won’t have many choices), but look at everything in your price range.

If the home you find doesn’t have AC, then you’ll want to have a heating/AC company come in and look at the home you are buying and have them give you a bid on installing air conditioning after the sale has closed.

The heating/air conditioning company may be able to add it to the existing heating system, or they may have to install a brand new heating and cooling system to add the AC unit.

Learn about your cooling options and potential costs before the sale is final so you can plan, budget, and schedule the work accordingly.

As our Lake Tahoe temperatures rise, the topic of air conditioning always come up as home buyers look at properties, but you’ll learn how about your cooling options and ways to deal with not having AC.

Our hot summer days will be gone before you know it! It never lasts long enough and in less than 100 days from now we’ll be into another season, and talking about how the first real snow storm of the season is right around the corner!

There is a lot to learn about our area, like homes not have air conditioning, so let me know how I can help you find the right North Lake Tahoe home to buy!
