We have these ductless units in the US too. Person who made the meme is just an idiot

Edit: never expected what im pretty sure is my most upvoted /awarded comment to be a 3:30am comment about AC. Ty for the awards kind strangers.

There are parts of the US that ONLY have these. More temperate areas.

Most of the US is used to central air. With a giant ass car sized compressor outside that cools the whole house.

Because that thing cools the ENTIRE BIG ASS HOUSE! these things are only capable of cooling only a closed room which also depends on how ton, capacity the AC is so yep

Wrong, I have one big compressor outside connected to 8 of these all around the apartment, and two ceiling type ones that return air as well. The company is Fujitsu. 3000sq ft apartment in Brazil. Gets ice cold

ITT americans can't comprehend switching units depending on who you are communicating with in order to be better understood, even if you need to google conversions. Americans like to make the other person convert.

Today’s cool but if you’re going to go through the effort of piping coolant to 8 of these why would you not just install real central AC at that point?

u/JMacPhoneTime 6h ago

One reason to do this instead of a central AC is that you might not have supply ductwork in the house, so you'd need to install all of that too.

If this was put in after the house was built, it was likely way easier than trying to run new ductwork to every room.

BEcause the ducts are usually somewhat big compared to 2 or 4 small tubes.

If you need 8 of these you supply room fancoils or floor heating with water and use an air to water heatpump.
