I definitely won't get that through with my girlfriend. There are people in this country who convince themselves that air conditioners make you sick...
I actually also "belong to this category" and would never want the unit, for example, in the bedroom. However, if you hang 1-2 devices centrally (e.g. in hallways) and only run them "permanently" at a low level, your girlfriend wouldn’t notice it and would be enthusiastic :)
Besides, theoretically, she would also have to belong to the group that thinks underfloor heating causes thick legs and thrombosis, and in summer ice-cold feet with floor cooling ;)
I'm also not sure if we really need a proper air conditioner, just because of the altitude and distance from the lake we're 3-4 degrees below what we currently have, plus the better local climate in the countryside... in that case, a 2k floor cooling system would have been something I'd say, I'll take that.
Then rather invest a relatively small amount in air conditioning preparation, so that it can be easily retrofitted if needed (too hot after all, or another girlfriend or whatever ;)). You’d probably still stay below 4k with higher efficiency ;)
We do have floor cooling and are quite satisfied with it, but only because it hardly/added no extra cost for us :)
