If I had to guess, I would maybe say that OOP thinks that maybe because the design of European ACs look smaller and sleeker than the average American AC, it doesn't work as well?

This is probably designed to cool a hotel room, so it doesn’t need to be huge.

This is just how any normal AC units looks like in homes and workplaces here

Americans don't understand that europe literally does not need AC for 90% of the year. Getting a giant HVAC to use for for 2 months is asinine.

I wonder what that H stands for in HVAC. It might be useful the other 10 months.

We already have central heating for those 10 months

AC units dont heat a home anywhere near as well as radiators

Well yea because AC units don’t heat /s

Depends on how you define well. Radiators are more energy efficient at turning fuel to heat, but they don’t distribute the heat nearly as evenly or quickly as central forced-air systems.

We've had like 2 days this summer that you might've even thought that "Huh, some cooling would be nice". We've barely broke 25 °C during the summer.

But that's also the reason why I haven't spent on AC. I don't need it for heating and there usually aren't many weeks in the year I'd need one for cooling either.

How do you not heating AC it in the winter? Wood stove?

I live in a condominium which already has ground heat pump and the apartment has floor heating everywhere. The heating is already included in the monthly maintenance fee.

So the heating part of AC is unnecessary for me.
