    I wonder why Euros always get these weird little AC units. Where the hell is the rest of it? I’d it some kind of centralized air refit for their ancient-ass brick houses? So they even make timber framed houses there for normal central ventilation, or ever use wall units? AC in Europe (and GB) is fucking weird.

      What’s in the picture is pretty standard for where I live, this is the indoor unit, and there will be an outdoor unit that contains the actual compressor etc. An outdoor unit will sometimes run multiple indoor ones.

      A unit for each room is also standard practice.

      It’s a ductless mini split and it’s WAY more efficient than the old ducted centralized A/C. Newer homes in the US are getting these too. They’re incredible.

      These are actually pretty awesome units, we got them for a previous house that didn’t have central air / heat originally (baseboard heat / window units) and it was sooooo nice.

      Upstairs we ran normal ducts, the basement we had these units.
