Stay Cool this Summer with Our Top AC Picks

Summer in India can be unforgiving, and having an efficient air conditioning system is essential for keeping your home cool and comfortable. One of the key factors to consider when selecting an AC is the energy efficiency rating, which is represented by a star rating. Choosing an AC with a 5-star rating can significantly reduce your running costs, making it a smart investment for the long run. Apart from the star rating, you also need to decide between an inverter and non-inverter AC. Inverter ACs are more energy-efficient than non-inverter ACs as they can adjust their cooling capacity based on the room's temperature, resulting in lower energy consumption. While non-inverter ACs are generally cheaper to buy, they are less efficient and consume more power, leading to higher electricity bills. When selecting the AC, it's also important to consider the size of your room , as an AC that is too small or too large can be inefficient and costly.  Other factors to consider when choos...
