    I love how thorough he always is with his content and producing followups to answer questions. One of the best YouTubers for this type of content right now.

      I had a split ac unit installed about 5 years ago and it cost me like 1300€. What are they charging for it where you live then?

        Depends on the system, the living space, and the existing HVAC. The box itself can be well under $2k USD, but things like upgrading your ducting can add a lot to the bill if you have a central air system.

        Heat pumps installations are a racket out in the US right now, it’s artificial expense to pad out pockets, there is no practical reason it need be that expensive.

          Might be a regional thing. Here in Australia our houses often have sliding windows, so it’s not hard to open one and mount an aircon in the space, sealing around thy edges.

          I think some other countries use hinged windows which are less amenable to being violated by a Window Rattler. Placing the entire unit inside against the window and creating some improvised ducting for the outdoor air inlet side can also work in a pinch.

            I don’t even think they are possible to buy where I live.

            I tried looking for one for a similar discussion awhile ago but didn’t find any
