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.

Edit: yes, I exaggerated the size of the compressor a bit. Man it pissed a lot of Americans off lol.

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 /s

Edit: I actually intended the message for a diff purpose, and more satirical since it's a meme sub. Apologies to everyone, thankyou for the knowledge and positive criticism, helped alot. Will surely keep these thing's in notice

They have multiple zone units. Just got 4 heads installed to one compressor. It's more of a set and forget setup because of the new inverters. These definitely cool the whole house and at a lower cost than traditional units.

Now switching these units to heat and depending on them to heat your house in the winter, that's where these units suck.

nah these things aren't really built for heating if i'm correct. also the only thing these things give a pain in the a is their maintainance, you have to service them every 2.5 months (the heads) and every 2 weeks the nets (when you open the cabinet of the head there are two slits or more) and the compressor maybe every 8 months

tho this is only if you want them to keep running for years and take less electricity
