What to Consider Before Choosing an AC
While deals can highlight certain models, buyers generally compare capacity, energy efficiency, and cooling performance before selecting an AC.
1.5-ton ACs are suitable for medium-sized rooms, while 2-ton models are more appropriate for larger spaces. Higher ISEER values and star ratings generally indicate better energy efficiency.
Convertible modes are becoming more common and allow users to adjust cooling capacity based on usage, which can help manage electricity consumption.
Features such as air filtration, smart connectivity, and stabiliser-free operation can also improve long-term usability depending on location and usage patterns.
In recent years, there has been a clear shift towards inverter ACs with flexible cooling modes and higher efficiency ratings, as users look for better control over performance and energy usage.
Since these deals are usually available for a limited time, final prices may vary depending on availability.
