I live in an apartment, and I installed airconditioning
An apartment is just a house where you also happen to have neighbours above and below you as well. There is no reason why an AC shouldn’t work in an apartment.
The biggest struggle is updating the rules of your home-owners association to allow for the installation of an external unit, but once that exists all tenants can freely install ACs as they please.
(In my case the rules specify that the external unit needs to be placed on the balcony on the east side of the building)
I agree, and when split units are not possible people will still buy the technically inferior single unit systems.
My post was related to OP who mentioned people will choose heat pumps (replacing conventional heating) over air conditioners.
That’s not what I said though. I said people would opt for a heatpump that is also capable of cooling, in other words and air conditioner.
Airconditioners are (air-to-air) heatpumps
The specific solution for heating/cooling a home might be different for different types of housing. But air-to-air heatpumps are a very interesting way to replace the water boiler as the main method of heating your home.
And as a bonus you can use it to cool your home in summer.
