room size
Depending on the size of the room in which the AC will be installed, the right size of AC should be selected. If you buy an AC that is smaller than the room, it will not be able to cool the room properly. On the other hand, buying an AC that is larger than the room will consume more electricity and cause temperature fluctuations.
Generally AC is of 1, 1.5 or 2 ton size. Out of which 1 ton for 120 sq ft room, 1.5 ton for 180 sq ft room and 2 ton AC for 240 sq ft room is suitable. However, besides knowing the size of the room, it is important to take care of the size of the windows, how much sunlight can enter the room, the height of the ceiling. After knowing these details about the room, a decision can be taken by discussing with the AC seller or a professional.
AC type and power saving
Two types of AC are commonly used in homes - 'Window' and 'Split'. Split AC compressors are again of non-inverter and inverter types. Currently, inverter technology-based ACs are becoming popular considering the various benefits. Inverter compressors of popular global brands are capable of saving up to 50-70 percent of electricity compared to non-inverter ACs.
At the same time, this type of AC is environment-friendly and helps to save additional costs. It is important to check if the AC has a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating. Through this rating, it is known how much electricity and money will be spent in operating the AC throughout the year. A good SEER rating means that the AC will be energy efficient in the long run and will not cost extra.
AC price
The price is definitely an important factor in buying an AC. In that case you have to decide your budget at the beginning, then go to the store and see which is the best AC in your budget. Non-inverter ACs generally start at Rs 40,000, while inverter technology-based ACs start at Rs 60,000.
Cooling speed
If you want an AC that can cool the room very quickly, look for a higher British Thermal Unit (BTU) rating. More BTU-based models are able to cool the room much faster, and they also save energy. Recently, some AC brands have come up with fast room cooling technology, with large fans, wide inlets and wide blades to cool the room in 30-40 percent faster time.

AC should be installed by professional technician. It can also complicate the performance of the AC if not installed properly; Also, this could increase electricity costs and pose a threat to home security. Also, to keep the AC working well, know about its maintenance time. Also need to know in detail about the after sales service of AC brand.
