    I’ve seen plenty Americans bring up in discussions on how it’s funny that most Europeans still don’t have a proper AC or heat pump in their homes, when the past summers have been getting increasingly hot lately.

    It’s common place now in new constructions but a lot of old landlords simply refuse to put down the tiniest investment into something like a split unit AC, especially since it raises the property value as well.

    With the upcoming renewable energy laws they’ll have to do it sooner or later anyways, but instead I’m forced to make do with an arguably terrible mono unit AC for the time being. The clown being me in this case, sorry if it was interpreted wrong

      Wait, I misread your comment, thought you said “europeans laugh about americans having AC in residential buildings”.

      But now I’m even more confused about what you’re trying to say…

      Just hijacking this because mono-unit:

      A buddy of mine has the PortaSplit. Its suitable for renting places and is not a mono-unit.

      He’s veery happy with it. But its sold out everywhere.

      There’s even a map ^^
