    I am in the Netherlands and lately AC’s are getting more common. As someone with an appartement top floor flat roof, living room faced south the split AC installed this year is a blessing. Summers get hot nowadays.

      Same in the pacific northwest. Had a heat pump put in this year thanks to an interest free loan from the city. Used to not hit triple digits here.

        Dang, I need to get one installed. Just dont know who around Portland to trust. Had one estimate and it was like 20 grand for a 4 head install.

          Our guy said splits are great for 2 or 3 units, any more a heat pump is more cost effective so that’s what we went for. Went with a city recommend installer and they were awesome.

            Aren’t splits using a heat pump though? Or did you get central air installed? My place has no vents.
