in the PNW, where a lot of people live in condos, it is not unheard of for HOAs (which basically all condos have) to be against the more efficient air conditioners and to force everyone to use the lowest efficiency inside-house, single or dual hose ones.
- anovikov 2y agoWhy? Do they make a commission on electricity bills?
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoI'm not defending the practice, but a lot of HOAs prioritize aesthetics, and retrofitting AC into an existing unit is always going to end up with some kind of visible external machinery that may not harmonize with the existing design.
- monknomo 2y agoThey don't like how the in-window unit ones look, and don't like how the heat pump external units look and/or don't want to pay to retrofit anything It's pure aesthetics
