After analysing more than 300,000 homes for sale and rent in
July 2022, the study concludes that Faro and Viseu are the areas where there
are more air-conditioned homes are advertised (46% in both cities). And right
after that is Braga, where 43% of the houses on the market have this system,
followed by Aveiro (35%), Castelo Branco (31%), Lisbon (27%), Santarém (24%),
Leiria (22%), Porto (22%), Ponta Delgada (21%), Funchal (20%) and Coimbra
(18%).
Although the interior of the Alentejo is where the
inhabitants suffer the most from heat waves, Beja only has 16% of houses for
sale or for rent with air conditioning. Évora and Portalegre are also among the
cities that have fewer houses with this system (9%) and (4%), according to the
study.
There are also other Portuguese cities where the supply of
houses equipped with air conditioning is scarce: Bragança (4%), Guarda (6%),
Vila Real (10%), Setúbal (12%) and Viana do Castelo (12%) .
