Serious Danger for Air Conditioner Owners: Should You Separate?

In a significant change to the regulations regarding the installation of air conditioners, the Federal Court of Germany (BGH) has announced that some air conditioners installed under a permit may need to be removed from their locations due to concerns about noise pollution.

Why Was This Decision Made?

This decision encompasses environmental and social concerns and refers to the noise produced by these air conditioners, which may be bothersome to neighbors. According to this ruling, even if an air conditioning unit is legally installed, if the noise it produces disturbs others, a removal order may be issued.

This news is particularly concerning for those living in urban areas who seek comfort during hot summers. Now the question arises whether air conditioner owners should be cautious and consider that their device may one day be removed from its location?
