And one more question that’s been on my mind...
We plan to install air conditioning in our new build in the near future. Currently, we are still at the shell construction phase and are considering what preparations should be made now to save costs later.
It’s a semi-detached house with a ground floor, first floor, and attic under a pitched roof, facing southwest. The garage is located to the left of the house, followed by a traffic-calmed street. I was thinking of a split system. Where would be the best place to install it? On the roof facing east? Or on the south side, on or in the shade of the garage?
The living room, the rooms on the first floor, and the attic should be cooled. It’s uncertain whether each room on the first floor needs its own unit (2 children’s bedrooms and a master bedroom including a dressing room), or if there is another way to handle this.
What should ideally be done now, and what can be added later without much trouble?
Looking forward to your advice.

As mentioned, the garage already has the connection for e-mobility with 5x6mm² (5x10 AWG) cables and an additional 5x2.5mm² (5x13 AWG). If the outdoor units are installed there and powered from these, I don’t need to do anything else, right?
The cables to the indoor unit run in a surface-mounted cable duct up to the core drill hole, correct? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to access them if needed.

Because what is missing?Something like this: (this is roughly what a wall looked like during our shell construction phase where a ductless mini-split unit was installed).
