After the Ancient Greeks developed the idea of central heating and cooling using water piped from aqueducts, the Romans stepped up the game with their hypocaust system. Their luxury villas and public bath houses had mosaic tiled stone floors supported by columns. The space underneath was used to transport heated air to warm the space, just like our modern HVAC systems use ducts to transport heated and cooled air to the spaces that need it.
It’s HERE. The reason you’re not feeling it yet is in Florida, we had so MANY 90+ degree days it will take some time for us to cool down. The hurricanes didn’t help at all.

Send in a couple of dragons! Or if unavailable, a couple of cows! “Gas” heating for free!

I don’t think that castles had central-heating at any time in their history.
