Which is the best 1.5 ton AC to buy in india?

When considering to buy an air conditioner, purchase the ones that are not looting your money and harming your health by making use of sub-standard and inefficient air filters that are very incompetent in removing dust, pollen grains, animal fur from the air, thereby exposing humans to these allergens which can lead to breathing and health disorders.

The issue is further accentuated in homes where members have a history of allergies and/or asthma. Such low grade air filters are fitted in the air conditioners by some manufacturers so as to increase their profit margin as well as to lure the innocent customer, citing low prices of the product.

Now, the choice between a split and a window air conditioner depends upon one’s preference and the place of installation. Split air conditioners are well suited in environments where there is no provision of a window to install a window air conditioner. In addition to this facet of split air conditioners, they also make for an overall quieter experience as the indoor unit and the outdoor units are separate. Since most of the processes involved in air conditioning occur in the outdoor unit only, the interior of the home stays well insulated from the noise. When considering cooling efficiency too, a split air conditioner beats the window air conditioner by a slight margin. These factors make a split air conditioner a better choice over a window air conditioner.

• Capacity of the air conditioner

• For a room of area between 120 to 160 square feet, 1 ton air conditioner will sufficiently cool the room.
• For a room of area between 160 to 200 square feet, one should go for a 1.5 ton air conditioner for adequate cooling.
• For a room of area between 200 to 260 square feet, a 2 ton air conditioner would meet all your room cooling needs.

In context with the above, it is imperative to note that if the air conditioner is set in an environment where direct sunlight falls on it or in the room in which the air conditioner is to be installed, its cooling efficiency reduces. In such scenarios, we have determined that it is best to decide on an air conditioner with slightly higher capacity. For instance, if a room which would have been cooled well by a 1 ton air conditioner, a slightly higher 1.2 ton air conditioner would impart the best service if the air conditioner and room faces direct sunlight.

• Build quality of the Condenser. 

Condenser is one of the most crucial components of an air conditioner. It is responsible for efficiently cooling the refrigerant from gaseous to liquid state which is then circulated in the room. Due to their pivotal role in effective working of air conditioning unit, condensers are costly. Therefore, some manufacturers, in order to reduce production costs and increase their profit margin install poor quality, inefficient condensers in their products which are highly ineffective in rapidly cooling the refrigerant. As a result of which, one needs to keep the air conditioner running for long periods to sufficiently cool the room. This leads to higher energy consumption, thus higher electricity bills.
