Lack of space is the primary reason for putting it on a roof. It will get direct sunlight and there will random temperature differences so efficiency will never really be perfect. The condenser coils are also covered and it’s not open like a ground unit would be.
They could put it in the shade, and that would be nice. I am curious where they should put it in this case…
I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those “American style” ground units in Europe. They all look like the one in the picture and are predominantly wall or roof mounted.
LOL no. Where do you live? Sure isn’t south of the Mason-Dixon line or southwest of the Rockies. Only people in warm areas without central HVAC are in old houses where no one has been able to afford the installation.
lol. you failed to fully grasp what the other comments were getting at, and still you went in strong with a confident and aggressive tone. I commend you 👏👏👏
I wouldn’t want to assume, but do you identify as American by any chance?

They exist, but primarily for heavy duty or professional use - think office spaces or supermarkets. Most homes are fine with wall units.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those “American style” ground units in Europe.”
Indeed, Europe is not very close to The Rocky Mountains Sherlock.
