Things to Keep in Mind While Buying an Inverter AC

The festive season is round the corner. And with the festive wave coming in, you’ll see offers galore at all the retail outlets and e-com sites. In case you’re thinking to buy a new AC, then undeniably it’s the best time to purchase. These days people prefer ACs that provide excellent cooling, save energy and require low maintenance. And this is where an inverter split AC comes in. It is the ideal pick that ticks all the boxes. But before buying, there are various factors that you must consider.

Here are the top factors to be considered while purchasing an inverter split AC:

1.  Size

The Inverter AC model is just another split AC unit but with a different mechanism. It comes with an indoor and outdoor unit. The capacity (in tons) of the Inverter AC is determined by the room size. Installing a suitable size of AC will not just cool the room efficiently, but will also keep your power bills in check. Usually for a room that is around 100 to 120 square feet big, 1 ton AC is apt. Similarly, for a room that is around 175 square feet, an inverter AC 1.5 ton does the job.

2.      Energy Efficiency
In order to minimize the exploitation of natural resources, it is essential to buy energy-efficient appliances. Being energy-efficient, Inverter ACs consume less electricity and provide maximum cooling. BEE ratings are important to consider while buying an air conditioner. The higher the rating, the more energy-efficient the appliance is. Among the various brands available, Panasonic’s 1.5 ton Split AC 5 star is preferred by most of the people.
  
3.      Utility
These days air conditioners come with multi functionalities. Besides just cooling the indoor space, they also serve the purpose of a heater in the winter season. One is just required to make changes in the temperature settings in order to use the unit as a heater. Such AC models tend to consume less electricity and have the ability to save more energy as compared to regular heaters.

4.      Noise level
Noise is a major concern for people using split ACs. Make sure you check the noise level and enquire about the noise produced by both the indoor and outdoor units i.e. the air conditioning system and the compressor. Always go for the AC unit that produces less noise. The noise levels of an AC should ideally be within 50 dB.

5.      After sales Services
Air conditioners are equipped with some mechanical technologies that require servicing at regular intervals for smooth functioning. Therefore, always go for an AC brand that has a proven record of great after sale services and customer care facilities in your area. It’s a good idea to consider a brand that will service the AC at affordable rates.

Purchasing an air conditioner is not an easy decision to make. Inverter air conditioners are priced higher as compared to the normal ACs. In order to make a buying decision, make sure you research well in advance as buying an AC will require a huge amount of money. If you’re looking for all the top features in one brand, then Panasonic is your ideal pick. The brand has the best inverter AC in India. So shop this puja season, and bring home the best at the best price!
