Off-topic: Air conditioner

We don't have any ACs at home but going to buy one soon.
Can you guys please suggest some good models in split AC and also what points to consider before buying one?
I don't have any knowledge about ACs, so if someone can guide me on what are the parameters I need to check before buying AC?
Budget - ~40000
Capacity - 1.5 ton
Energy Rating - 5*

Buy inverter AC
It consumes less electricity. Also 5 * rating is just gimmic. U can get copper coil 3 * . Don't go for aluminium. 1.5 ton based on ur room size. If it is more than 100 sqft

Also note service center for ur AC. Not to worry if u r in metro.

Hey OP, first thing you need to consider is the size of the room. Bigger the room higher the Ton you should be looking at. Usually 1.5 ton would be appropriate for a medium sized room. But of you are on top floor go for 2 tons. Also if your location has very high temperatures you should try to find one cooling which will cool during peak summer, it's usuallu mentioned in the details. LG, Voltas and Ogeneral are the best brands, ask around your area to see how is their after sales service there. In case you have a lot of power fluctuations try to get one with additional internal stabilizers, but you can always attach an external one. Rest all the features are gimmick don't pay attention to them.

P.S: While buying just check the year these energy stars are referring to. Government keeps updating the norms. E.g: If a device has 5 star rating from 2018 then in 2022 it might be equivalent to 3.5 stars.

Voltas and BlueStar will never disappoint you. And get inverter AC, then stabilizer is not required seperately. But think about the size of room also. I have seen people take 1 ton AC for a room the size of Titanic and complain in review cooling is not good 🙄. **Maaro mujhe maaro**
Small room 1 ton is ok.
Medium size room 1.5 ton.
If it's Living room, 2 ton.
I'm not sure if BEE * rating actually does something, bcz after getting an AC light bill is gonna increase substantially.
Also don't forget servicing once every 4 months even if not much in use.

OP, you need to understand apart from AC, you also need to spend extra money for installation cost which increases according to distance between indoor and outdoor units.

Go for LG or Bluestar....make sure the brands have good service in ur city

No one recommending mitsubishi 🤔

Ogeneral>mitbushi electric> Daikin. Daikin will be in budget rest it's your choice
