France recorded its hottest day ever as an early heat wave gripped Europe. The high temperatures on Tuesday prompted the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre museum to restrict visiting hours.
These heat waves have been basically yearly and yet my family in France and the UK for some reason remain allergic to just getting an air conditioner. Sure, I get it, you don’t need it most of the year, but this at this point not at least buying a portable unit is ridiculous (and yes I know about European windows, that’s why I suggested a portable, way easier to rig a temp mount for a hose with some thick plastic sheeting at the worst case of all of the windows in the house won’t work as needed for the typical mounting set up)
Actually, these people could be sold air source heat pumps, which are reversible, and provide A/C in the summer, with the heating savings argument.
Heating with these things is so much cheaper than traditional means that they pay themselves in a couple of years. In Spain you can buy split air/air units (no water heating) that cost less than the installation costs.
