a heat pump? an aircon? an antenna? 😖
-
Judging by (what looks like?) the slate roof, I'm guessing this in in the UK?. So its probably the AC unit. (I'm sure slate roofs exist outside the UK, I'm just guessing.)
-
It looks to be corrugated iron. Corrugated iron would be a really weird roofing material in the UK, as it's terrible for insulation. Also if he was from the UK it would be on the news because no one has air conditioning. It's really hard to even find someone who knows how to install it.
It can't be anywhere in southern Europe because they'd already have air conditioning, could be France or Germany though they tend not to have aircon by default.

That's not a great place for a compressor, direct exposure to the weather means they are unable to exchange heat as efficiently. Why'd they put it up there?
-
Lack of space is the primary reason for putting it on a roof. It will get direct sunlight and there will random temperature differences so efficiency will never really be perfect. The condenser coils are also covered and it's not open like a ground unit would be.
They could put it in the shade, and that would be nice. I am curious where they should put it in this case...
-
A sprawling yard to put things on is a very american thing.
-
It could be a thing for any rural house in countries that have the land for it.
-
Say what? They sit on 1 sq. meter slabs. Are you thinking HVAC units are the size of RVs?!
-
-
Also it's not a matter of if that hole in the roof for the tubes will leak, but when. Don't put holes in your roof.

Dude climate change demands these. Have them powered by solar panels and its a win/win
-
They might have meant that. Americans using climate change to bully them to install a mini split.
-
Any energy from solar going to AC means solar energy not going to the rest of the house.

Well you messed it up anon. You'll need a bigger antenna for good wifi ac
-
Nah, that's the antenna to watch TV for the TV watching license.
I have heard that they recently passed a bill for having a toaster license you have to use to use your own damn toaster.

A Yagi?

I love living in a country/part of the country that doesn't really need AC. Today is the hottest day this week peaking at 27°c but the rest of the week is like 23°c. Perfect weather to go to the beach to cool off.
-
Where?
-
South coast, UK

-
If you don't have air conditioning, you live in Alaska or you're just crazy.

*Northern Sweden

If america jumped off a bridge...
Wait that hits too close to home.
-
Do these pe*ple not know window units exist???
-
Those only really work for American style up down windows. In Germany and most eu countries a different style are used. They are hinged on both the bottom and the side and you can choose which set of hinges to use. Very useful but not compatible with American style window AC units. If you google for “German window” you’ll see the memes.
-
if you google "german window"
That sounds suspiciously like a sex act, not falling for that one!
-
I've seen the memes I just don't understand how no one has come up with a window unit that can be properly mounted to them. Window units have been around for decades and not one engineering company has capitalized the idea?
-
I mean, you could turn it on it's side if the pump was still at lowest point and you moved/turned the lines and radiator to the proper positions. Not sure how feasible that is. If the cooling loops, fluid reservoirs, and radiators were reconfigurable for that purpose, it would tap into a new market for the manufacturer that pulled it off.

-
Yeah fuck my neighbour let's flood his windows with more heat, I'm cool
-
It actually adds to the updraft increasing the windows effectiveness.

-
This guy's European roof looks better than the prettiest American houses
-
Is that a European roof? I haven't seen corrugated iron anywhere there, but then again, I haven't been everywhere in Europe.
-
Could be asbesthos sheets. Still regrettably common in former Soviet countries.

My guess: american guests expect 70s temps or AC. Homey runs airbnb, guests want it and go to his competition that offers it, therefore he's bullied.
poor fuckin' baby.
Much of Europe is getting hotter. AC is literally a life-saving technology on extremely hot days. No, it's not mere "comfort". Old people, in particular, are at high risk.
And it's not like Europe is completely blameless when it comes to global warming, either.
(not so) cool story bro.
come on, most of the world have worst temperatures and no AC
edit : yes you are right and it is a problem. But I do not know if AC everywhere is the solution. Building viable living spaces and changing our way of life probably is.
