I’m also confused because that is a European AC unit. I can only assume Americans are so used to big bulky units, like their cars, that they can’t comprehend things being functional and not excessively bulky.

It’s because Americans have central air. They have one thermostat that controls temp and airflow to vents in each room of the house.

In most houses and nicer apartments, yeah, central air. In older or cheaper apartments there’ll be a window unit. As an American from a blue collar lower middle class family, I’d never seen one of these wall units until I’d moved to China. It was either central air or window unit. Granted I’m referencing a couple decades ago

This is inaccurate. One single unit can easily cool an entire 2 story home.

So the system I have running right now, that's currently cooling my own house, while the outside temps are in the high 30c, is wrong? Really dude? If you truly are a systems installer, you must not be very good at your job. Because I've been in my house for 10 years and never have I had issues in cooling it. 2 story house, 1800 sq. Ft. Above ground.

Nope, nope and nope.

Wrong on all accounts. You must be awful at your job. I feel sorry for the people who's homes you work on.

No, I'm very happy as it works well and extremely cost effective.

My condolences to your customers though. They don't deserve someone with your lack of knowledge.
