> die of heat stroke just not to use that pesky Yankee tech Japanese tech is the best for temperate New Zealand homes. Called a heatpump here but also has aircon functionality i.e. electric heating in winter and aircon in summer on hot days as necessary. Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Toshiba and Fujitsu etc. Not sure I've ever seen a Carrier here (and I can't even name other US brands). There are also some cheaper Chinese brands. Part of the problem on forums is that the wording varies by country and hot US states install A/C only systems: which you would never do in temperate climes. The word split is uncommonly used here (as a kiwi I'm not entirely certain of the meaning).
