Different amps for summer and winter?

I live in Southern New England, where the temperature gets to about 100 on the very worst summer days, and falls to below 0 in January or February. I've wondered, half seriously, about having two sets of amps -- a pair of class A babies to warm up my listening room in the winter, and a very cool running set of, say, class D amps for the summer months. Is there anyone out there who actually does this?

I also live in Austin (Hi SVAR!) ... I do remember when I had only the old high bias Rowland M7... So hot that my 2nd floor music loft was unusable from June through the end of September.

In More recent times, during Summer I have been using mostly the cool running class D Rowland M312, except for Summer 2012, when I was running the fairly warm class A/B Rowland M725 monos. Winters have been on Rowland M625 or M725. But coming summer I hopefully will operate the new Rowland M925 monos, which -- I have been told -- generate little heat.
