Here are some tips to help narrow your search so that you can find exactly what you are looking for!

• Window or split

When it comes to cooling efficiency, windows ACs are at par with their split counterparts; moreover, inverter window ACs also saves a lot of energy. Coming to the split air conditioners now, one advantage that they have over window ACs is that the compressor of the split air conditioners is placed outside and quite far away from the space to be air conditioned, split ACs produce almost no or negligible noise. Along with their quiet operation, split ACs are often chosen by consumers to add to the aesthetics of their home spaces as the bulk of the unit is outside the room. Also, split ACs are available in many colors and designs to suit different interior decors.

• Room size and power consumption

Here tonnage plays an important role. For instance, a 1-ton window AC or a 1.5 ton split AC is an ideal choice for rooms measuring up to 250-260 sq ft. Star rating of AC essentially refers to how efficient the air conditioner is in converting electricity to cool air. It is based on the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) for cooling. In India a 5 star is the best rating for an air conditioner in terms of energy efficiency. In case of inverter ACs, when they work at a slower speed, the tonnage rating of the inverter AC goes down and when it speeds up, the tonnage rating of the inverter AC goes up. Because of this, the running cost of an inverter AC is very, making them the cheapest to run in India.

• Aesthetics

An advantage that split ACs have over window ACs is that the compressor of the split air conditioners is placed outside and quite far away from the space to be air conditioned, and therefore, they produce almost no or negligible noise. Because of this, split ACs are often chosen by consumers to add to the aesthetics of their home spaces as the bulk of the unit is outside the room. Moreover, the biggest benefit of a split AC is that it can be installed to any distance without hindering the air ventilation. In contrast, with window AC one is restricted to install at places like window, at that end of room or wherever proper ventilation is available.
