I live in Southern Ontario and probably "need" A/C perhaps 3 or 4 months out of the year. The first car I had with A/C was a 1983 Camaro in 1986 and stopped working after a year. I drove that car across Canada and to Florida with my kids in the summer and never had a dire need for A/C. I was quoted $1000 to fix it, but declined, which was just as well, because the car got totalled a year later. My current '85 Camaro never had A/C, but the windows roll down. which is good enough for me, if a bit blustery and noisy. When I got my '92 Volvo 740 wagon the A/C didn't work and I replaced some piping, but still had a leak, so I gave up on it. My current daily is an '05 Dodge Magnum with A/C and I'm happy with it and would get it fixed if it failed. How did people survive in the 1950s and '60s when most cars didn't have A/C? I guess it's the same way they survived without cellphones.

But, honestly, if you're in Florida, getting the A/C fixed would be a priority in my opinion.
