Can't breathe, can't work, can't sleep and the dogs are suffering.
I am getting a Multi-Split for the next year and will install the fucking thing myself!
Spent 2 days reading everything about AC and already ordered two Daikin Perfera FTXM25A/FTXM35A indoor units, which are excellent (SEER 9.47 and tons of extras) and I got a good price.
Now I'm looking to get the exterior inverter. I'm already decided on the Daikin 3MXM52 for up to 3 indoor units.
I heard the inverters are way cheaper in the Mediterranian, just wanted to ask if any of you guys from ES/PT/IT/HR know of any shop that has good prices?
I found this one in Portugal for €1228:
https://www.keroclima.pt/epages/960844166.sf/en_GB/?ViewObjectPath=%2FShops%2F960844166%2FProducts%2F1341
But they don't give clear shipping costs for other EU countries. I'm looking for sub €1300 total. | For PT, try searching for what you want here:
https://www.kuantokusta.pt/
For your AC:
https://www.kuantokusta.pt/p/1917403/daikin-multi-split-mxm-mn-3mxm52m-r-32
The click each individual link for the store pages. Obviously not all stores appear, the initial store you mentioned is not on there but thems the breaks.
Besides that, try searching on google/whatever for PT results only.

Thanks for the links!
Actually found a unit at soarcondicionado.com:
https://www.soarcondicionado.com/3mxm52a9-daikin-en
First it was €1400, then I did shipping estimation and it dropped to €1108??
For shipping costs it just says "por consulta" now
Site also has coupon codes apparently but I couldn't find any.
Gonna do some further investigations here
Edit: ok it was because it removed the taxes. contacted them for a shipping/tax estimation anyway. couldn't find any coupons

I can't speak for all of Europe but I've never been to a house/apartment with centralized AC. People buy fans or mobile AC units. Granted, I live in the south west of Sweden and we rarely have 30+ degrees here (mostly 20-26 degrees) during summer. My biggest problem is the combination of heat and humidity. That makes me so happy that I do have an AC.

These are heatpumps, you can also use them to let cool water flow through the underfloor heating systems. It works well I hear but they don't remove humidity from the air.
Only a few households have floor heating systems so it's not an option for most.

You're right. Meant to post a picture of AC, Google images (of course) showed heat pump instead. Looks similar enough to where I didn't catch it. Changed it now, lol.

Going to be a rude awakening.  |
Pretty much figured this was the case, wasn't sure though.
I take it the above situation is mainly because of both spacing (most buildings are built very close together) and age of the buildings (lots of old buildings in Europe built before central AC was a thing, so not much thought given to ducting etc?)
Yea, the whole rising global temperature thing is going to suck for you guys - better start drafting changes in building codes to allow for them.

No, its the same with most newly constructed apartments. Zero forethought. They get long distance heating only, no central AC and you have to ask everyone for permission to mount split AC. All people are left with are the shitty mobile units.

I'd say the same with 29. It's not so much the temperature as the shock of having cold and sour autumn days and then suddenly summer temps

just close your windows and curtains at noon. There is no breeze, just a massive hot hair drier air.
dont go outside in the afternoon unless you hate yourself.
if all else fails, eat the power bill and turn on the AC.

OMG that would be a horrible place to be on top of that unit during summer.
Thats where the heat comes out. The fan is blowing to cool of the coils from the heat exchange to make cool air inside.
If your AC is 15 degrees cooler difference (vent temp vs ambient house temp) that is 15 degrees hotter.
And that is a southern US house I would bet anything. Large outside heat pump, shitty T11 siding housing exterior painted grey, weird ass bare PVC drip pipe on wall.
