    What I’ve learned at least about the houses in the UK is that the homes are old and drafty so it’s not about the size of the unit but the insulation being poor.

      Shit insulation is actually more of a pro argument for AC. I mean, the houses in the USA are made out of cardboard and gipsum. They dont insulate a thing. My house has great insulation. In summer I just keep the windows closed and roll down the shutters during daytime and it’s freezing cold inside. At night we get cool wind from either the North or Baltic sea, we then open up the windows to freshen the air up a bit.

        In the us, there is insulation in the outer walls to maintenance indoor temperature.

        Shit insulation means you have to do a lot more work to heat or cool a sapce.
