May be a little late to mention it, but the spec should also include a humidity tolerance. Without A/C, your house humidity will rise to meet ambient.

Probably obvious, but running heat producing devices will increase the discomfort level in your house by raising the temp even more.

I feel your pain. The HVAC guys are in my attic right now...upgrading my 14 year old systems for more efficiency/comfort before they actually break, so I'm voluntarily without A/C on one floor or the other for the next 3 days.
