Copper compressors are more reliable and last longer.
Your efforts should be directed towards the best cooling performance coupled with saving electricity.
The heat outside is scorching with temperatures soaring to record-breaking levels. A day back, Delhi had touched 52.3 degrees Celsius, the highest ever recorded temperature in the city. The heat wave has affected other states too and people are being discouraged from going outdoors. Air conditioners are the only respite from the scorching heat. If you do have an AC, it’s all well and good but if you don’t own one and want to buy it, or maybe purchase a second one, there are certain criteria that you must bear in mind while buying. Your efforts should be directed towards the best cooling performance coupled with saving electricity. Here are a few points to keep in mind while purchasing an AC.
Star Rating: You should always look for the star rating of the AC you purchase. A minimum of three stars is needed to beat the high temperatures we are facing now. Also, a high star rating will help you save your electricity bill in the long run. Try to keep it between 3-star and 5-star ACs.
Copper Compressor: The compressor is the core of your AC and the best compressors are those made out of copper. Copper compressors are more reliable and last longer.
Inverter technology: Remember to inquire if the new AC you are considering has inverter technology. Inverter technology is crucial for an AC as it enhances efficiency by adjusting the capacitance of the compressor rather than repeatedly turning the entire compressor on and off. It leads to better energy efficiency and performance.
Eco-friendly R32 gas: R32 is a type of refrigerant gas commonly used in air conditioning systems. It is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) with a low global warming potential (GWP). It is considered a more environment-friendly alternative to older refrigerants such as R22 or R410a. It is always better to go eco-friendly with an AC that uses R32 gas.
Warranty: Most ACs come with a 1-year warranty. Some brands offer a warranty of up to 10 years on the compressors inside the AC. That is why it is important to ask how many years the warranty is for the AC compressor you are buying.
