I would rather die of heat than install air conditioners. The installation rate of air conditioners in Europe is less than 5%. The reason is intriguing
Why are so few people in European countries installing air conditioners?
1. Environmental factors
Europe has a superior geographical location. Except for a few countries and regions, 90% of Europe's population is located in the area of 40 degrees north latitude. This area has relatively little direct sunlight and has warm Atlantic currents, making life comfortable all year round. degree. Only Western Europe has temperatures above 40 degrees, and it only lasts about two weeks. As for the average summer temperature in London, which exceeds 20 degrees, such a suitable temperature has led to many people being reluctant to install air conditioners.
Europeans enjoy it more. They eat ice cream, play in the water, and go to the forest for a picnic during the hotter time. Anyway, these ten days will pass if you persist, so there is no need to install an air conditioner just for these ten days.
2. The electricity bill is too high
Take Spain as an example. The electricity bill is on average 6 times more expensive than in China. The most expensive one is close to 5 yuan. Everyone is also aware of the power consumption of air conditioners. It is comparable to an electric tiger that boils water. As a result, a family will spend thousands of yuan or more on electricity bills a month. In order to relieve the pressure of life, many people choose to blow fans to avoid the heat.
3. The installation fee is too expensive
Labor costs are very high in Spain, especially for air-conditioning installation workers. This is a dangerous industry, so their wages are very high. If you hire one person, your salary will be gone in just one month. Therefore, the high installation fee is hard to come by. This has forced many people to be even more reluctant to install air conditioners.
A Chinese in Spain told this:
My home has three bedrooms. Because the installation cost is too expensive and the children are still young, the air conditioning can only be installed in the children's rooms. It only cost more than 500 euros to buy the air conditioner. The installation of the air conditioner cost more than 2,000 euros, and the installation fee was almost four times the value of the air conditioner. When the family couldn't bear the heat, they would crowd into the children's room and blow on the air conditioner. Although it was very inconvenient, there was nothing they could do.
Of course, the installation of air conditioners seems simple, but in fact it is time-consuming, laborious, dangerous, and highly professional.
3. Protests from environmentalists
Or else, there are always some people in Spain who are not enthusiastic, and that is environmentalists.
Because air conditioners remove indoor heat during the refrigeration process, large-scale use will undoubtedly increase the greenhouse effect and accelerate the global warming process. In addition, the hydrofluoride produced by air conditioners during the refrigeration process is also banned in Europe. The use of area has also attracted protests from environmentalists. At this point, I have to say that these environmentalists are really great.
But everything is unexpected. This year, Europe has encountered a high temperature that has not been seen in decades. In many areas, the temperature has reached more than 40 degrees. Even the cars have heated up. The traditional playing in the water, enjoying the cool and eating ice can no longer withstand the high temperature and heat wave. Among them Spain is the most serious country. Up to now, as many as 4,600 people have lost their lives due to the high temperature. Think about it, it is not worth it. If I had known, if I had installed air conditioning, it would not be like this now.
Summary:
After this year’s high temperature, Europeans will definitely be willing to install air conditioners. After all, life is the most important, and it is only once. If the money is gone, you can still make more. After this, I I don’t think there will be any so-called environmentalists coming out to protest. Everyone is raised by their parents. When the temperature is high, everyone is afraid of heat. If innocent people are allowed to die from heat because of environmental protection, then environmental protection will be lost. It makes sense, and besides, compared with industrial emissions, car exhaust emissions, and air-conditioning emissions, they are really not worth mentioning. Europeans need to know which is more important.
