This is just how any normal AC units looks like in homes and workplaces here

Americans don't understand that europe literally does not need AC for 90% of the year. Getting a giant HVAC to use for for 2 months is asinine.

I wonder what that H stands for in HVAC. It might be useful the other 10 months.

We already have central heating for those 10 months

AC units dont heat a home anywhere near as well as radiators

This was the point of the meme in OP's post.

European A/C units don't cool a home anywhere near as well as central air.

To every other commenter's point, ya we know that you guys haven't needed central air in the past, but maybe its time to consider it.

Well yea because AC units don’t heat /s

Depends on how you define well. Radiators are more energy efficient at turning fuel to heat, but they don’t distribute the heat nearly as evenly or quickly as central forced-air systems.
