Buyer's Guide

Window Air Conditioner is a type of AC that is installed into a window or through the wall of your house or office. It is the simplest form of air conditioning system where all the air conditioning components are assembled into a single casing and mounted together. Window air conditioners are the most economical option for cooling as compared to other types available in the Indian market. Also due to its compact size, it is much easier to install than high-wall or central air conditioner and is a good choice if you have space crunch. Window Air Conditioners can also be built into the wall if you do not want to compromise window space.

It is important to know which all features to look for in a Window AC in relation to your own circumstances and which AC is best with that feature. So let's check it out.

Star Rating

When it comes to buying an air conditioner, the star rating is an important factor to consider, as it indicates the energy efficiency of the unit. The star rating helps you understand how efficiently an air conditioner can cool your space while consuming less electricity.

Choosing the right cooling capacity (measured in BTUs or tons) for your air conditioner is crucial to ensure your space stays comfortably cool without excessive energy consumption.

Determine the appropriate cooling capacity for your air conditioner.

Measure the square footage of the room or area you want to cool. To calculate square footage, multiply the length by the width of the room.

  • Ceiling height: If your room has higher-than-average ceilings, you may need a higher cooling capacity.
  • Sunlight exposure: Rooms with significant sunlight exposure may require more cooling.
  • Insulation: Well-insulated rooms may require less cooling capacity.
  • Number of occupants: More people in a room generate additional heat, which can affect cooling requirements.
