Frequently asked questions

Which type of air conditioner is the best?
The "best" AC depends on your needs. Consider room size, budget, and noise tolerance. Window ACs are budget-friendly for small rooms, while split ACs offer a balance for medium rooms. Inverter splits are efficient for medium to large rooms, while ductless ACs cool large homes but require installation. Portable ACs are good for temporary needs or small spaces.
How many types of ACs are available?
There are 5 main types of home air conditioners: window, split, inverter split, ductless, and portable.
What type of air conditioner is the most efficient?
Inverter split ACs are generally most efficient. They adjust power based on temperature, reducing energy consumption.
Which AC uses the least electricity?
Inverter splits typically use less electricity due to efficiency, but overall consumption depends on AC size and capacity too. A smaller, efficient AC will use less electricity than a larger, less efficient one.
