Apparently it doesn’t work in Germany. Physics work differently here. At least that’s what our corrupt politicians want us to think

I hear that too. Not just politicians, there's loads of experts lecturing on heating technologies. It's just too cold in Germany for heat pumps. Doesn't stop Scandinavia from getting them, granted, but in Germany it's just too cold. No point. Sorry.

I can't get an electrician and contractor to come install one (as an AC mainly) inside of 6 months, and I've been trying to find one for 6 months.

The heat is actually killing me I can't sleep and have other health problems. I brought a dual hose unit from the US with me I'm running on a voltage converter and it's the only thing keeping my apartment livable.

Germany has corrupt politicians? Say it ain't so!

/s (all politicians are corrupt)

Actually, there is a noticeable difference between right leaning and left leaning parties, with the former being a lot more corrupt than the latter.

A lot more corrupt, sure, maybe. Not going to get into it too much..... but that shouldn't imply the other parties are not corrupt.... just less corrupt. The diet version of corrupt.... so to speak.
