Fuck PTACs, and the developers who install them.

All over NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, Jersey City, you see fucking 1.2 million dollar condos or $5000/mo "luxury apartments" with these fuckers in every room.

It's a giant hole in the wall, you literally can see outside if you take the plastic cover off to change/clean the filter.

They're window units that have a dedicated window.

If only they weren’t so goddamn noisy.

On Hoth, you philistine.

Fuck those A/C units that require leaving a card in them to work

Newer versions of these can have par levels set for the temps and I don’t know who thinks 74f is a comfortable room temp, but no… it is not.

Fortunately, internet legends went on to explain how to put these into service mode, thereby defeating their laughable levels. Just gotta remember to put it back to their mode when you’re checking out.

But, yeah, these things fkn crank coldness. And the electric bill. And the environment.

I once considered moving from Seattoe to Bremerton, WA to take advantage of the much cheaper real estate. In attempt to get a feel for the daily commute, I decided to stay at a Super 8 in Bremerton for a week. 5 minutes into that experiment, I flicked on the AC unit that looks just like this one and it reeked of cat pee.

I did not move to Bremerton.

Cold rooms have improved my sleep and made my life better.

I will never understand people who WANT to be cold. I'd rather be a sweatball than a little chilly. When I see one of these it usually get immediately turned off, because yeah, they do some fucking work.

edit: Apparently people who like to be cold are really sensitive about not being understood. 😂

Second time I've seen this meme... Never experienced it. They always sucked compared to even cheap window units. Half the time barely able to push below 22*. Granted I spent a lot of time as a kid on summer break locked up in a room with an 80s high end window unit that could get the room to 10* on a 25+* day.

I've worked at hotels. People still figure out how to complain about these things.

I got it once I looked up what a Hoth is.

Amana Distinction PTAC Air Conditioner or something like it

Used to have an office that was an addition to the building, with no room to connect it to the main HVAC. I had one of these to myself. The window on my office door fogged up frequently because I set the thing to give-visitors-frostbite-cold.

District heating/cooling should be standard :)
