Summer is coming, Remember this while buying AC

Marketing gimmick. 2023 models will be 10-15% costlier than previous models.

Yesterday i was checking my older price list of 2 years back products like ac and refrigerator which i saved in excel file and i saw even those items are 15 to 20 % higher 😂

Forget about 2023 models 

Following, have to buy a AC either today or tomorrow, urgent.

12000BTU = 1 tonne.

Apart from the baby's room, do you need it for any large room or for any that directly faces post noon sunlight?

The upfront costs to energy saving (electricity bill savings) do not really work out for huge (higher than 15000 BTU) inverter type HVAC solutions UNLESS one is regularly using it for 10-12 hour stretches non stop.
Also, depending on the technology
inverter type units are not as robust in quickly cooling the room or retaining optimal temperatures.
[I am not talking of highend/ overpriced inverter type split air-conditioners from the likes of Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Korean companies, O General. Those of-course have numerous sensors and other ways to efficiently cool quickly].

Are you saying 12000 BTUs which cover 400sqft area can sustain with 1 ton AC?

Marketing, sales teams of brands or shopkeepers may misguide with misleading names, model numbers.

But the rulebook is clear, only something with a rated 12000BTU capacity 

can be labelled as 1 tonne capacity.

LG 5 star 2023 models have cooling capacity of 4600 watts only compared to 5250 watts of Daikin, 5200 watts of panasonic. Which means it just uses less watts as well as cools less to get 5 star effeciency. So avoid LG 5 star feom your short list. Go for Daikin / Panasonic. Lyodd is also good.

A room of 150 sq ft with 1.5 ton capacity with 4600+ watts can cool optimally, I guess. Someone needs to cross verify with electricity units consumed. The PCB and other stuff is of 5 years warranty from LG... I guess it will be ok. Again, any half cooked product if launched with the warranty period mentioned will only make losses for LG. Either 2023 model will work flawlessly or abruptly closed.

That's not true. Last year I purchased Panasonic 1.5 Ton Inverter AC for 38.5K. Similar 2023 model is now being sold for 35K

Godrej had a good deal. You can get it for 33.5K on Amazon if you have a HDFC CC.

I also need one .. thinking to buy colf and hot models.. idk if they ok to buy

I need a Split AC, inverter model.

Since usage will be high (more than 14 hrs per day), I am looking for 5 star rating.

Which one would you suggest?

I believe Voltas is better (parts/service supply due to large market share). Not sure of panasonic, godrej, etc. Any help?

Look for samsung inverter AC if anyone has access to employee login id. I had purchased 1.5 ton 4 star AC at 30000 2 years back and it's no issues faced till yet. Last year purchased 2 ton 4 star AC at 40000 for cousin.

A bit overpriced, since apart from temperature regulation, they add too many cosmetic or other features to make them look valuable.

Otherwise these are fine.


Standaed risks apply.
Many animals or even certain people with medical condition ls, ailments might require certain humidity levels.
Humidifier use is necessitated at times.
Or in our homes, we can even manage by keeping some water in an open container.

This 'optimal humidity' point actually applies even for the cooling function actually.

im looking for 120 sq feet room ac, usage 3-4 hrs per day, can someone please guide, which ac?? inverter/ non onverter , and or any brand specific, ??

If there is any such way to buy at discounted rate, let me know.
