lol don't worry. I feel the same about your house heating.
You will not die inside your house from not having heating. People survived for millennia without natural gas furnaces. Turn your furnace off! Just put on more clothes!
"built to contain heat". sigh. I'm not going into a thermodynamics discussion. Seems like europeans can't grasp the concept that insulation works both ways.
Anyways, get an AC for the living room and use a fan to push the cool air into your bedroom at night. Yes, it's not ideal. But sleeping on 40C is worse.
And also something something "60 kg AC". yeah, you're doing it wrong. I just checked and my 7000W Daikin is less than 30kg for the heavy part (the outdoor unit).
As for the install, I got tired of idiots here doing terrible jobs. I just bought all of the tools and nowadays I install and service my own air conditioners and have zero regrets. And no, you don't need any license to do this: the refrigerant is inside the outdoor unit from the factory, so at least for the initial install (and for the next 10 years if you do it right) you will not need any refrigerant.
You tried to be snarky and all you said was the exact same thing I did, just more verbosely.
Do you do that in the winter too? 10C with a couple of sweaters is quite a pleasant temperature too...
This is my favorite response to these idiots. If you don't need air conditioning, then you don't need heating either. They talk about how amazing their houses are in the winter because they "retain heat" and whatever bullshit, but they actively heat it.
Turn the heating off, or shut the fuck up about AC.
Enjoy dying.
I dont know man, I live in Argentina and my "tiny split unit", 3500W, is more than capable of keeping my bedroom cool.
Even my "large" 7000W unit for the shop was so big that
Those "tiny split units" do just fine in Japan where they have even less space than you do.
Sounds to me you're just making excuses and, somehow, trying to blame "the americans"
I do not understand why Americans try to push AC so hard.
Imagine choosing death instead of accepting an american is right.
Germany is on the same latitude as as newfoundland idiot. 37C is NOT normal.
That's not how climate works. Madrid is at the same latitude as New York City and New York has blizzards and regular snow. Madrid doesn't.
The problem is that we were on the Team plan which is a flat rate plan.
You raise a valid point but it has no substance. Management confronted us and said "you are doing it wrong!" And I stopped them "no, we aren't. even if we are, we can try to economize on tokens. We can get a 100% improvement, 200%? 500%?
It's still order of magnitude LESS than what we were doing and it's costing us, in dollars, twice what we were paying before.
You see, the problem with the Enterprise plan is that, unlike Team or Pro, it does not include any (subsidized) usage. Every token counts towards the budget. And corporate either did not read the fine print, or they had more than 150 developers (the maximum allowed by Team plan) and they were forced to switch.
They were expecting it would last for the entire month, like the Team plan was.
But it turns out the Pro and Team plans are subsidized and include far more tokens, that reset every week, than the "actual price" that they charge large companies.
It would be a valid point if one or two devs got it wrong. But it happend for all of us (and we work in different projects).
I'm Argentinian. And I'm speaking from experience.
Some people pray for more than they are willing to work for.
