I run my First Watt and zenmod creation/bablefishes year round, with A/C.
PoP amp, same lineage as XA 252, is considerably "cooler" than XA 252. In fact all my amps are. Running now, F5, F5m, PoP, BA3, M2, Aleph J, XA 252 is the heat king! F6 was probably the coolest running, but it morphed into my AlephJ!
Soon to join F8 and maybe Singing Bush, (something to use my sits on), along with part boxes with boards and actives for BBA3, J2 and F7.
Pretty sure F8 (b version) will be next.

Listening to this amazing mono recording from 1958, Paris. Fanatics inner detail with the Singing Bush, tube Sabre dac with a grounded grid 12AU7 French Cifte, also from ‘58. Sublime.
