Buyer’s Guide: Best AC in India

You need to consider a few factors before you invest in buying the Best AC in India for your home or office uses.

1. Capacity

The capacity of an AC is the first thing you need to consider before buying the best air conditioner. You can keep in mind the following factors while judging the capacity of the best AC in India.

City Climate: Climate is important because as the outside temperature sores high, there is a requirement for a higher capacity AC.

Area/Size of the Room: For a room of 140 sq ft, a 1 ton AC will be enough. Whereas a room of 140-180 sq feet will require a 1.5 ton AC. And, any room larger than that will require a 2 ton AC.

Room Location: Location is important because rooms can get hotter if the ceiling gets direct sunlight from the top during the day. The same applies to the side walls as well. So, as the room gets more heat, the best air conditioner of higher capacity will be needed.

Usage: The daily usage in terms of months is important to know since higher the AC operated higher requirement will be for the best AC in India with high capacity.

2. Power Consumption

This is a very important factor to consider while buying the best split AC in India. Also, there are certain factors which affect electricity consumption and which are discussed below:

Location of the Room: Some places like Chennai, Kolkata have humid weather conditions while places like Delhi, Rajasthan are dry and hotter in the summers. So, the AC which works for Delhi, may not work for Chennai since they have contrasting weathers.

Room Area: The electricity consumption of the best AC in India depends on the amount of heat present in a room. The room size is an important factor since the higher the room size, the larger the capacity of AC required and the higher will be the electricity consumption.

Other Electrical Appliances: If there are other electrical appliances like washing machines, bulbs, microwave ovens emit a lot of heat which can make the room hotter and make it difficult for the AC to cool properly.

Color of the Room: This is also an important factor. The darker the color of the room and its walls absorb more heat and hence take a long time to cool.

3. AC Type

Predominantly, there are two AC types. One is the Window AC and the other is the Split AC. Window AC is easier to install and cheaper but they are not as quiet and attractive as the split one. Also, Split AC provides way better air distribution than them. You should choose the best one, according to your needs. 

4. Air Quality

Buying an AC with a good humidifier is your basic need. As it will give you better cooling and more comfort during the monsoon. You also need to look out for the filter. A good filter will provide you with the best cooling and will improve the AC’s efficiency. 

5. Installation, Maintenance, and Cleaning

The performance of an AC mostly depends on its installation. You have to install your AC from an authorized dealer only. However, as we mentioned earlier the split AC’s have a compressor unit outside but the window AC is a complete unit that can be attached to a window. This type requires very little maintenance. Ask your dealer how often you need to clean it for optimum performance. 

6. Energy Efficiency

We all know that the electricity cost is rising day by day. Therefore you need to find an AC that will consume less power but will provide you with the best cooling. The higher EER (energy efficiency ratio) ratings the AC has, the less it will consume electricity. Look for the star ratings of the AC. For example, if it is a 5 star rated AC, it will consume optimally less electricity. Let us see the energy efficiency ratings in the table below.

7. Budget-Friendly

We all know that air conditioners are costly appliances. Since you are going to spend a lot of money on the best AC brand in India, you will need to know if they are worth your money or not. Remember to compare the price with its efficiency before buying it.

8. Lifespan

Another important factor that we all consider while getting oneself the best air conditioner is its lifespan. Before spending a handsome amount of money. It is the common nature of any individual to ask the question, how long is this gonna last? So, before purchasing an ac one should see the number of warranty years the ac manufacturing brands are providing on the compressor, condenser, and the unit. Make sure that you opt for the ones having a warranty of at least 5 years on the compressor.

The Different Types of Air Conditioners

There are 4 different types of the best ac in India which you can have a look at.

1. Window Air Conditioners

Window air conditioners are self-contained units that are placed in a window. They can also be installed by creating a hole in an exterior wall of a room. These air conditioners are useful for apartments. They come in different sizes to fit different window types. The bigger the unit, the more cool air is produced. However, the cooling capabilities of window air conditioning units are limited.

2.  Central Air Conditioners

These are silent air cooling systems. The best part about the central air conditioners is that they can cool all the rooms together in one go. You will not require multiple ac to serve this purpose. They are made up of two units: the condensing unit located outside the home and the evaporative unit. The condensing unit is responsible for inducing the cool air that is propelled into the evaporative unit. The evaporative unit then pushes the cool air throughout your home. These are considered the best for larger homes with multiple rooms.

3. Ductless Air Conditioners

These are popularly known as split conditioners. If you are someone who does not have ductwork at home this is the best available option for you. These air conditioners are being made by most ac manufacturers to give you a better, silent, and more efficient cooling system without a duct. Ductless air conditioners consist of two small air conditioning units that can be installed on the inside of your home. These are the best for smaller homes.

4. Portable Air Conditioners

A portable ac is a single unit that can be wheeled into any room and positioned on the floor. Here the hot air is blown away by a hose vent through an exterior wall or window. Portable air conditioners can be a little noisy, but they are a good temporary cooling solution since you can take them to any room you want to cool.

Reciprocating Air Conditioner Compressor

Rotary Air Conditioning Compressor

These compressors are silent and produce very little noise. This has a shaft with several blades attached which does the job. In these types, air comes out even at a lower temperature.

Scroll AC Compressor

A scroll compressor uses a fixed coil for compressing the air or refrigerant in the center and there is another coil that rotates around it. These do not have many moving parts and hence are more commonly preferred.

Screw AC Compressor

This is efficient for large buildings where the area is huge and requires a lot of continuous cooling. It has 2 large rotors that move the air from one end to the other.

Centrifugal Air Conditioning Compressor
