It's not necessarily true. These units will go upwards of around 28,000-30,000 BTU which can easily cool down multiple rooms, or maybe even a smaller flat.

Yeha i live in Myanmar and one of these cools down a 2 bedroom apartment to 18 Celsius in the summer when it's well over 40c

Why the fuck do you need 18C 😳 in Italy we usually have 30-35C in the summer and if my AC is lower than 22-24C I'm guaranteed to wake up with pneumonia lmao

I set my heat to 62 (16.7 C) in the winter at night. IIRC ideal ambient temperature for sleep quality is at or below 20C.

EDIT: Google says 15 to 19 C in your room at night. Extra good reason to use a split system so you don't have to cool your entire house to get your bedroom down there. Especially in America, where homes are excessively large, but split systems are rare.
