Air Conditioners Price List In India

Important points to remember while choosing an AC :

• You should prefer a higher tonnage AC model if your room is located on the top floor or directly exposed to sun for adequate cooling.
• Star rating and tonnage capacity should be chosen according to weather conditions of your area. If you stay in a place which has extreme summers, then high star rated model should be bought.
• Your selected model should be equipped with latest features like humid control (so that high humidity or heavy rainfall can be easily dealt with), automatic sleep function to reduce electricity bills and energy efficient settings to minimise energy consumption.
• ACs should be regularly serviced or maintained for their optimal performance.

FAQs while buying an AC :

1. What capacity/size of AC will required for your household ?

Ans : Size plays an important role as oversized or undersized AC will affect the cooling in the room and also increase the electricity consumption and power bills. For reference, we are giving the chart for the user,

• 120 sq.ft area :Upto 0.75 ton
• 121-150 sq.ft area :Upto 1.0 ton
• 151-250 sq.ft area :Upto 1.5 ton
• 251-450 sq.ft area :2 ton or above

2. Which star rated AC model should i choose for my house?

Ans : Inverter or 5 star rated AC models are most energy efficient. They are 15-20% priced higher than regular models, hence they should be bought in case of heavy usage as in an office or a commercial place. In residential areas, where the usage is limited to couple of hours, 3 star or 4 star AC is quite suitable.

3. Is 5 star rated or inverter AC models suitable for less usage?

Ans : The selection of star rating should be selected based on the usage of the equipment. The higher the usage, the higher star rating is recommended. Hence if your usage is more than 10-12 hours, then you should definitely go for an AC with higher energy rating.

4. Will higher tonnage AC provide more effective cooling than lower tonnage AC model?

Ans : The AC capacity should be according to the space requirement as undersized or oversized AC will lead to more power consumption. Higher tonnage AC is best suited for big sized rooms.

5. Which brand offers best customer support and after sales service?

Ans : This is a very subjective question as it depends on the location. Go for popular and reputed brands which have their service centers countrywide. Also, before buying AC of certain brand, do check if it has an authorised service center in your location.

9. What is an Inverter AC and is it more efficient than a traditional non-Inverter AC?

Ans : An inverter AC delivers the cool air and regulates the refrigerant according to the cooling requirements of the room by varying the frequency of the compressor. It reduces the power wastage with its accurate temperature control. hence it is more energy efficient than other basic models.

10. Why does an AC doesn't start immediately after it is turned on?
