   > In Geneva you must have a "valid reason" to purchase AC, such as a health condition.
   
   Lol.
   
   In France, the state will help you pay for your AC, you just have to call it a "heat pump".

     @cjd yeah, they are for some reason pulling this trick on germans, too. Nobody knows that heat pumps are ACs but they all love them.

     They give you more money if it's an air->water heat pump to replace a boiler system, less if it's a mini-split, so I think they're catching on...
     
     But I like mini-splits, AC, fairly cheap heat, and air filtration in every room...

     @k1tteh @cjd no, ACs are heat pumps and vice versa.

     @cjd @lain isn't the whole point of a heat pump that you're using groundwater as a heat sink instead of air
