Most of the time the sun heats the house pretty well, even on days where the temperature dips. On cold cloudy days, I need to put it on for a bit and sometimes if we're having several days in the 50s or below I might put it on in the morning for a half hour or so.

By the way, if you're gong to be spending summers up north you might want to look into a humidistat. It's a device that turns your air conditioning on depending on the humidity regardless of the temperature. If you set your air on 80 it will almost run non-stop in the summer months. With a humidistat, you can set the temperature on 100 and the air will only come on when the humidity reaches a certain level and then turn off when the humidity has been cleared out
