What to consider before buying a window AC
Capacity (Tonnage): Choose based on room size (e.g., 1.5 Ton for ~150–200 sq. ft.) to ensure efficient cooling. Energy Rating (Star Rating): Higher star ratings (like 5-star) consume less electricity and reduce long-term costs. Cooling Performance: Look for features like turbo cooling, multi-fan speeds, and good air throw for faster and uniform cooling. Noise Levels: Since all components are in one unit, window ACs can be noisier—check for low-noise operation. Build Quality & Durability: Prefer copper condenser coils for better cooling efficiency and longer life. Ease of Installation & Maintenance: Window ACs are simpler to install and usually cheaper to maintain than split ACs. Additional Features: Digital display, sleep mode, timer, remote control, auto restart, and dust filters enhance usability.
