It’s not useful for summer, I have never used it to cool a room, opening the windows works fine.
It is cheaper than a normal heater, and works slightly better in the earlier months of winter. Right now, it is too cold outside for it to work at its best efficiency, using a normal heater is better in this case.
We had ours installed back when the price of gas from Russia skyrocketed, it was way more affordable to use it for heating then.
That’s pretty much a form of having AC… All these people saying otherwise clearly haven’t lived in an environment where it’s hot as shit. Hoo boy are all these folks going to realize how wrong they are when they discover what the wet bulb temperature is, and exactly how much energy humanity has put into our environment since the stert of the industrial revolution.
Might wanna look into when certain temperature/climate condition begin impacting peoples mental health, then cross compare that to the moderate estimates for what Europe will look like in 10 years.
Also, “blue ocean event” is v relevant here. Is wild how fast all the icey stuff in the world is going bye bye, and what the implications are for future global heat intake once that albido effect from the ice stops reflecting all them sunrays. Thats the thing I don’t think a lotta folks realize when it comes to climate change… How fast it’s coming and how much it’s gonna fuck people
Indigenous groups lived in places like Death Valley or the Australian outback for thousands of years, where the temperature gets above even the worst European heatwave temperatures daily for whole seasons.
If you’re concerned about climate change, you should realize how bad of an idea it is to run extremely energy intensive machines filled with environmently harmful refrigerants 24/7, which also contribute to increasing the ambient outdoor temperature and the heat island effect.
Did you not read what I said? European heat waves are going to be getting exponentially worse. An exs dad’s new wife was from Australia,and lived with the Aborigines for 2 years with her 2 young kids. You know what she had to say at the end of it when she had to keep shit from poisoning her kids constantly, let alone everything else? It was brutal and she would never do it again.
If you think Euro society as a whole is going to take that adjustment well… Well, it’ll be better than Americans (looks at toilet paper fights during COVID), but at least Americans are going to have AC lulz. In regards to the life style thing, eh sure. Energy consumption bad. Know what else is bad? Not being able to fall asleep when you’re totally naked with the window open doing everything you can to fall asleep but can’t. Now think of how the shitters of society are going to cope with that.
As someone who has an AC, I have 2 thoughts.

There is pretty much no place in Europe where a heat pump would not be more efficient.

It’s bad for the environment in multiple ways
If you’re too hot, toughen up a bit? Are you just not gonna go outside for a while season?
