Electricity Consumption:
In residential billings, most of the energy consumption is done by air conditioners and heaters.
A typical house uses around 50% energy for space cooling or heating, so it is very important to select your AC which uses lowest energy & gives highest efficiency & performance.
Points to consider while buying AC:
SEER : Higher the SEER value lesser the energy consumption. A little more initial investment to be preferred over buying lower SEEER rating machines. You will get paid back extra money that you have invested in short time by means of saving in electricity bills. Always check for this sticker.
Noise level: Your AC should not disturb you while sleeping , lower the noise better the sleep
Features: Check for the basic features that almost all modern air conditioner remotes should have like Cool Mode, Fan Mode, Dry Mode, Auto mode, Eco Mode, Turbo Mode, Self-cleaning mode, Timer setting, Sleep mode etc. Look for better air filtration technology & if your budget permits go for modern feature like wifi connectivity , voice control option etc.
After Sales service: Your supplier must provide after sales servicing & Annual maintenance contract. Go for authorized brand/dealer which have good service network in your region.
