What room would you like to cool?
Whether it’s the children’s room, master bedroom, or living room, no two rooms can be cooled by ACs of the same tonnage.
For a small bedroom (below 120 sq ft)
Choose an AC with higher tonnage if your room has high ceilings or is stuffed with too much furniture.
For a big bedroom (120 sq ft to 200 sq ft)
Consider a higher tonnage AC if your room has high ceilings or is stuffed with too much furniture.
For a living room (above 200 sq ft)
Consider a higher tonnage AC if your room has high ceilings or is stuffed with too much furniture.
Which type of AC is best for you?
Air conditioners come in various shapes and sizes, each designed to meet particular needs and preferences.
Since it doesn’t have an outdoor unit, window AC typically requires little or no civil work. It is a tad less expensive than split AC.
AC installation involves a number of additional costs, like drilling and piping. While most brands offer free installation, you may have to factor in extra costs for drilling, extra piping, etc.
A split AC make hot days and sweltering nights more bearable without being seen. However, installing the interior wall-mounted unit and the external compressor unit requires a fair amount of civil work.

Heating and cooling to stay comfortable in all seasons
A Hot and Cold AC can serve you during summer and winter.

How do you choose an air conditioner that is energy-efficient?
To ensure energy efficiency, you can either buy an inverter air conditioner or check the AC’s star rating.
Get the inverter advantage
An inverter AC uses only as much power as is needed to keep the AC compressor running, consuming less power overall. This helps stabilise energy consumption and saves money.
Inverter AC
Once the desired temperature is reached, the motor adjusts its speed to maintain it. This results in minor temperature fluctuations and lesser power consumption.
Non-inverter AC
Once the desired temperature is reached, the fixed-speed motor shuts off. It is restarted once the temperature drops below the set value. This results in major temperature fluctuations and more power consumption.
Save your bills with star ratings
Not all ACs are designed equal. A five-star AC is more energy efficient than a three-star AC or a one-star AC.
Remember, more stars on your AC means more energy efficiency. However, ACs with a higher star rating are usually more expensive than the others.
