A room air conditioner is ideal for rooms up to 200 sq. ft. where one of the walls is exposed to the outside. In case of budget and space constonaints, one could go for a window AC. Though window ACs are cheaper and easy to install, split ACs are quieter in operation, more aesthetically appealing and have better air distonibution. If there are no exposed walls, a split AC is the only option for purchase. split ACs have two units – a compressor unit outside and an indoor unit inside. Since the compressor is kept outside, noise levels are lower in a split air conditioner as compared to the window air conditioner. However, installing split ACs may require some renovation work, which implies a monetary investment.
To know the right tonnage of AC to buy, one needs to do a heat load calculation of the room to be air-conditioned. Very often, a thumb rule of 100 sq. ft. = 1 Ton is applied to calculate the room AC tonnage. However, this method may not always be accurate. The size of the windows, location of the walls (west or east facing), floor, number of people expected to occupy the room, other gadgets in the room and lighting, amongst others, all play a role in calculating the right tonnage for the room. It is recommended to request a technician to visit the room and allow him to do a heat load calculation. Identifying the right AC tonnage is a critical step, since buying an undersized Air Conditioner may provide inadequate cooling with perhaps the compressor never cutting off, and buying an oversized one may result in high power bills.
Fixed Speed Window and standard Split Air Conditioners have a compressor that runs at a fixed speed. The compressor is therefore either on or off depending on the set temperature. The inverter AC thinks and adjusts according to your needs. The compressor has a variable speed and changes its frequency according to the ambient load. As the frequency changes, the speed of the compressor also changes. This eliminates any temperature fluctuations and helps maintain a comfortable temperature. For example, a 1.5 Ton inverter AC can decrease its capacity to 1 Ton or increase its capacity to 1.75 Ton, as per the requirement. As there is no cut-in and cut-off, the inverter AC saves up to 30% more power.
One should look out for various types of filters available in an AC, such as an anti-microbial filter and a PM2.5 catching filter which traps dust particles, and mites as well as eliminates bacteria and viruses. Thus, the air inhaled is pure and healthy. Most air conditioning units also have a dehumidifier, which reduces humidity in the air, making it cooler and more comfortable. Also, one should check the noise level of the model, which usually ranges from 30-60 decibels. The sleep mode of an AC is an intelligent feature as it creates less noise and automatically adjusts the temperature during the night so that it is comfortable throughout. An auto restart facility to help restore the original setting after a power break. Having a timer in the AC enables the users to turn it on or off on schedule. A feature called ‘iFeel’ helps in maintaining the set temperature around the person rather than the air conditioner. A sensor on the remote signals the thermostat in the unit, which adjusts the cooling accordingly, making it more comfortable.
High energy efficiency design involves increased components in the heat exchange area due to which input costs increase. Hence, a higher star AC, such as a 5 star AC, costs more than a 2 star one. To make an informed choice related to energy and monetary benefits in an AC, one needs to calculate the energy and corresponding monetary savings. Payback period in years = incremental higher price/energy saving in a year over a lower star AC. Buying a 5 Star AC is a good decision in the long term, especially given the fact that consumers nowadays use their ACs for much longer periods and the power tariff is likely to increase over the years.
Filter cleaning depends on the frequency of usage and the atmospheric conditions. For normal applications, it is recommended to clean the filter once every 15 days. Also, the AC should be serviced once every 3-4 months for optimal performance and longer life of the machine.
