How to Select Best Air conditioner

First of all nowadays air conditioner is a common major appliance to any home and it's not a not a big deal to purchase. It's true everyone can't purchase AC because of its huge price that a common man cannot afford. If you are a Salaried person then you can but an air conditioner through EMI system ; for that you need a credit card or finance cards of companies like Bajaj,.. Etc. 

What to Buy????

Second thing I need to tell you that if you are living in coastal areas like Mumbai, Cochin, Chennai, Kolkatta,.. etc always buy best brands. Salt from sea through air may damage your outdoor unit coilscoils ( It will not happen in a year) . In this situation you cannot blame manufacturing company. So always service your AC after every season. I mean use it wisely. Especially clean your indoor unit two filters in every 15 days. The more care more validity and less electric. 

Another thing I need to tell you that ; Buy  AC from a known too dealer or shopkeeper. We customers need a brand new air conditioning according to our needs and value for our money. Some salesman will handover old stock or display units . This won't let you to happen for that always update manufacturing date of that year by google search and visiting AC brands website before going to buy. 

I will tell you my own experience. Please read... 

My first AC unit is from Haier company 1 Ton. It was a good AC for 3 month, later I had experienced water coming problem and so I sold it for a second rate with some loss. 

Which is the best AC? First read my blog then you will understand more. 

Ans: It will depend a lot on your city and several other factors. A place like Mumbai which usually does not have high temperatures throughout the year would need less tonnage, where as a place like Delhi which is super hot in summers would need more. In my suggestion always go for 1 ton if you are ready to pay. 

A 1 TR AC can cool a room of the dimensions (lwh) 12′ x 12′ x 10′ or 1440 cubic feet. You can arrive at the cft area in any manner by having slightly different dimensions. If the room is bigger, the AC compressor will work longer, consume more electricity before it can bring the temperature to the set level on the thermostat. If the room is much larger (> 1.25 times in volume), you will need a more powerful AC.

Atlast in general 

1. Look for Inverter AC only. Always try to buy 5-star Inverter AC if your budget allows, otherwise buy 4-Star Inverter or 3-Star Inverter, but nothing below that.
2. Look for highest ISEER. More the ISEER, lesser the electricity bill.
3. Look for BLDC or DC Inverter which you will find in Daikin or Japanese brands. Otherwise, look for dual-inverter which you will find in LG all models and Samsung 1.5 Ton and above.
4. Look for Coanda feature which does not vent air directly to you. In Coanda, the AC vents out air towards upper part of the room to spread coolness evenly and make space comfortable. Daikin and some Japanese brands use this feature. Samsung uses Wind-Free feature where the cold air comes out from hundreds of small holes.
5. Look for copper tubes/coils etc. in the outdoor units. Avoid Aluminium tubes/coils.
6. Many brands are giving 10 years warranty on compressor, e.g. LG, Samsung, Hitachi. There are few more.
