Question from YH
Hi,
I would like to live in a place where most houses and buildings have tile or hardwood or other safe floorings and not carpet. Otherwise, it is really hard to find a job or house to live in where there’s no carpet. I think the hotter a place is, the less people install carpet in homes and businesses, right? So other than Texas, what are the states where most houses have hardwood or tile floorings and not carpet?
Heat is another problem. A lot of houses use forced air furnaces, and dust, mold, and other pollutants come out of the vents. I am allergic to dust. If a person smokes in a room, another person can smell it in another room. Radiators are better, but most newer places don’t use radiators anymore. What are the states where most houses don’t use heaters or forced air furnaces?
Air conditioners can also emit dust, but I am not sure. Some houses have both central heat and air. Other than radiators, what kind of heat is better for our health? Electric heat is good, I suppose. What kind of AC is the best?
I would like to move to a place where most houses have hardwood or tile flooring and no forced air furnaces.

Well, that would be the South. Here in Florida, many houses have ceramic tile floors throughout because that’s the coolest. We have hardwood and ceramic tile.
Many houses here do not have central heating because it is rarely needed. Most houses do have air conditioning.
But you can also take out the carpet and install any flooring you want. Likewise heating and air conditioning. You’re not stuck with what is in a house. You can always change it.
