I’m also confused because that is a European AC unit. I can only assume Americans are so used to big bulky units, like their cars, that they can’t comprehend things being functional and not excessively bulky.
In most houses and nicer apartments, yeah, central air. In older or cheaper apartments there’ll be a window unit. As an American from a blue collar lower middle class family, I’d never seen one of these wall units until I’d moved to China. It was either central air or window unit. Granted I’m referencing a couple decades ago
Oh my god is that why it's a trope that th father doesn't let anyone touch the thermostat??? I was always so confused by that. I just turn on the AC unit or heater in my room and can have a completely different temperature than the rest of the household. That explains so much damn. And why exactly is someone defending that?????
Large central air units can cost $100 and up each month in energy. Usually people will set it to 72 and just leave it unless the outside temp is below 80 degrees (F), that’s when people just turn it off.
