Things to consider before buying a new air-conditioner.
Shop for an air-conditioner in the cooler months as many brands will have it on sale and the product is more likely to be in stock.
Select air-conditioner according to the room size. This approach will save electricity and offer better cooling. For instance, for a room of 14 sq. ft. a one-ton air-conditioner is sufficient.
Pick between portable, window or wall air-conditioning unit. Different types have separate mounting requirements.
Star ratings by BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) is an indicator of an air-conditioner’s power consumption. Choose an air-conditioner with a higher rating such as 5 stars (ratings are on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the highest).
Features like digital temperature control, sleep settings, variable fan speed and noise reduction help conserve power.
It is also important to look for ways to maintain the air-conditioner well such as filters to remove dust, allergens, and odours.
As air-conditioners are considered big-ticket purchase you may consider financing it on a ‘no-cost EMI’ scheme. You won’t have to pay a lump sum and can repay in easy instalments of 3,6,9,12,18 and 24 months.
