  No, it’s a split ac, the other half is literally out of the picture(hopefully out of tne house)

    Which is why most people cant get one of these because their landlords are shitheads.

        Or just portable, single unit ACs. I got one of those recently.

        It blasts hot air through a duct that hopefully you’re able to direct outside while preventing outside air from getting in. Also noisy as heck, since the full unit is inside the house, and not as efficient as split units, but they do work…

        As far as I know they are mosty designed for vertically sliding windows, uncommon in Europe. For american style sliding windows a think they are brilliant.

    Protip: condensers function better when its cooler. You can save money by putting the condenser in the neighboring, air-conditioned apartments.

      Yes, ac is a heat pump that can only work in one direction of cooling.

        Not necessarily, a lot can reverse and pump the heat inside
