We recommend opting for a higher tonnage AC if any of the following conditions apply to you:

INVERTER ADVANTAGE

Available in both split AC and window AC variants, an Inverter AC may cost a bit more than its standard counterpart, but provides sizeable energy savings in the long run. An Inverter AC uses only as much power as required to maintain the variable motor speed and attain the desired temperature. On the other hand, standard ACs run the motor at either full speed or minimum speed, consuming more power overall.

Let’s take a deeper look at the benefits of Inverter ACs and standard ACs.

Factors INVERTER AC STANDARD AC
Motor Speed Control Yes No
Power Consumption Consumes more power initially,thereafter less to maintain temperature Consumes less power initially, but more power overall
Electricity Savings(for 8 hours of daily use) Inverter ACs consume 15% less units/day than standard ACs
Product Life Longer Relatively Shorter
Noise Level Lower Higher
Cooling Speed Faster Slower
Price Inverter ACs cost more than Standard ACs

ENERGY RATING

Every AC comes with an Indian Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ISEER) star rating, an indicator of the energy efficiency. The ISEER follows a star rating methodology standardized by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). A higher star rating corresponds to greater energy efficiency.

Simply put, a 5 star AC will consume approximately 25% less power than a 3 star AC for a similar run. So even though a 5 star AC costs more than a 3 star AC initially, the difference in price is generally easily recovered in the form on savings on electricity bills.

ENERGY SAVINGS GUIDE

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) is responsible for providing the standardized Star Ratings for all major home appliances including air conditioners, which indicate the potential long-term savings on future electricity bills you can get from your AC. Be sure to check on the Star Rating on offer before you choose an AC.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Most ACs today incorporate a variety of additional features aimed at providing great performance and useful health benefits. While these are important, the requirements may vary from household to household and from location to location.
