Nice video Ranjit. You covered most of the basic things to consider before buying AC. One other important point to consider is whether the evaporator and condenser coils are Gold Fin/ Blue Fin coated or not. These helps prevent them from rusting. Now a days star rating comes with Invertor AC's too. And it's always better to buy AC's from local dealers than online for better after sales service and installation.

[@GhanshyamMehta21]

we had bought a inverter AC(Daikin) about 2-3 years ago and we were really impressed by its performance. i absolutely agree with you about the constant temperature, but everyone doesn't like it, its personal choice . My dad still likes the regular AC in other room but i prefer the inverter one. We had seen a good difference in our power consumption , so when dad had to upgrade AC in our office he got inverter AC and the performance is really good and till date we don't have any complain.(the investment in inverter AC is really worth especially if you have heavy usage)

[@ProbuddhaNag]

I own three AC's (2 Split and 1 Window). One of them is an LG Inverter AC. I think you missed a very important factor while determining which AC to buy and that is the Condenser Type. I would strongly recommend going with an AC that is having a Copper Condenser over an Aluminium Condenser. Both of my split ACs (LG and SAMSUNG) have Aluminium Condensers and they both leaked within 3-4 yrs. So always, always invest in an AC having a Copper Condenser. Apart from that, I completely agree to all your points.

[@Smnkar0]

Watching after 6 yrs … never believed u have a video on the same purpose .. nice video

[@ankit.v]

Didn't know much about A/C... But learned a lot after watching this.. Thanks geeky.!!

[@7389abhi]

I would suggest you guys to take lloyd inverter ac just bought 2 days before for 42K they are offering 10ft copper pipe and the compressor is also 100% copper.... you said right ranjit inverter ac only have 30% of powerconsumption.... but on Lloyd they offer 5years warranty on indoor or outdoor unit generally other company gives 1yr on Indoor and 5year on compressor warranty

[@sauravbhowmick1468]

I had bought a 1.5 tonn sharp inverter AC a couple of years back at 42,500... and its running perfectly... Satisfied User

[@jatins.1045]

plz suggest which one is better copper, aluminium or alloy

[@RAJESHGUPTA04]

I got inverter acs installed in my new clinic 2 yrs back, There was definate reduction in my electricity bill by atleast 25%. Average bill fell from 12000 to 9000 per month . So you are right inverter acs saves around 25 power.

[@shivraj-vd5et]

i am confused of buying voltas or lg 1.5 ton which u will suggest on terms of performance i use it only in summer

[@vijaygarg9342]

Supperrr likeee. Was planning to buy an AC for the first time. Got an idea what to look for in an AC. Thank you thank you thank you geekyranjit :)

[@pankajnaik2708]

[@shriyanshagnihotri30]

hello, I like to know how are portable ACs? Planning to get one can't go for split because of landlord hassle. please suggest.

[@MrPankitshah]

What you think about Mitsubishi AC? I have purchased it last year and i must say it is very powerful ac. I also have samsung, lg and daikin ac but this one is the best.

[@geekyranjit]

Mr. shah That's great to hear, thanks for sharing your experience.

[@joybiswas6819]

[@narenk]

Arunpreet Singh lg

[@raa9550]

are Daikan normal AC (not invertor ones) are good or it just lies same with other brand like LG & SAMSUNG

[@HemantGiri]

one more thing i wanna add is before buying AC check for unit if is it a copper or aluminium coz most ac now days to low cost they give u aluminium unit which get damage in 1 or 2 years and cant be repair as copper and u have to change the whole unit so keep that in the mind go for copper one :)

[@ramdharival1981]

I have upgraded my dakin air conditioner to the Mitsubishi inverter air-conditioned and I completely agree with you

[@krishkannan2884]

sir today I purchased Godrej gsc 12 tsz 3 rwpt split ac (1 ton, 3 star)100%copper condense& pipe with 7 years warranty, Satisfied but what's we're looking to buying ac copper with 5yrs wranty are aluminium with10 yrs warnty ? which is best,

[@snigam000]

Krish Kannan copper is pocket frndly ...... Whereas aluminum make a big hole in your pocket.... Based on after sale service

[@atulbhanot9447]

Hi Ranjit, Can you please help me choosing a good A.C . I am really confused between Ogeneral and Mitsubishi A.C's considering their cooling efficiency, build quality and good after sale services. I am also open to other brands if you can suggest me a good one . i want to buy a split a.c 1.5 ton for my house(usage 8- 10 hrs). I will be really glad if u can help me with this. Thanks.

[@b.s.ksaiganesh3831]

Ranjit it sir which company is best in AC (carrier or ogeneral).

[@sasithangavel4505]

We have o general and the power consumption is not high or to low .but in o general normal ac cost 54 thousand that's only 2star and 1.5 ton .what's the difference between others(including 5 thousand installation charge)

[@sagarnaidu7480]

Well i went for an AC with 5 star rating from Hitachi over my old LG AC and noticed a significant drop in my power bills. Significant in the sense that the power bills dropped by a couple of thousand rupees as i keep my AC on, most of the time.... :)

[@SoumyadeepDutta]

Ranjit Kumar After lot of Research I have found from Consumer Voice 2014 that Daikin is no 1 followed by Blue Star, LG & Voltas. But one of my friend told me that Daikin takes lot of time to cool the room infact for chilled room Blue Star And Voltas are much Better. I want to buy Daikin FTKM50QRV16 inverter AC. Which model of Daikin you are using?Please suggest

[@OmAwasthi]

Thanks for the video Ranjit ... Can you suggest me top 3 AC based on the below requirement 1. The room is at the top floor. 2. The Room size is 15*15 square feet . 3. The usage is only for 3-4 hours only in hot summer and not in normal days 4. Not looking for too much of sound in the AC 5. A Split AC is what i wish to purchase

[@7389abhi]

I would suggest you guys to take lloyd inverter ac just bought 2 days before for 42K they are offering 10ft copper pipe and the compressor is also 100% copper.... you said right ranjit inverter ac only have 30% of powerconsumption.... but on Lloyd they offer 5years warranty on indoor or outdoor unit generally other company gives 1yr on Indoor and 5year on compressor warranty

[@dilipsukumar]

Very very useful video sir. I was thinking of upgrading my ac. This would help me a lot. Thank you.

[@geekyranjit]

dilip sukumar I am glad that you found it helpful, I wish I had all this info about 2 year earlier, I would have invested in a better a/c for my room coz the thing with A/C's is that once you buy them then you don't change them for 5-7 years so it's a good idea to get the best option based on your usage need.

[@dilipsukumar]

***** thanks for your reply sir. I was thinking of buying a conventional ac. But after watching this video, I am going to invest on an inverter ac as it is used continuously as chennai is always hot. Savings will be reflected in my electricity bill for sure.

[@RiteshKudalkar]

Lately, my family is planning to buy an AC and I found this to be helpul!! Good job man!!

[@saptarshiaichsarkar7324]

Ranjit if you wanna buy your next AC then I would prefer you to go for Voltas or LG rather than Daikin, 'coz only these two brands uses BLDC inverter technology. There are 3 types of inverter ACs 1. AC inverter, 2. DC inverter and 3. BLDC inverter the 3rd one is the only one that consume less power than the other 2 types. Hope this information helps you a little bit.

[@shreyasalian9302]

What is better? To buy AC online Or from store? Do we face issue of after sale service of we buy online?

[@Ash-jw2ek]

My new inverter ac is extremely silent. More saving compered to conventional ac. Its a sharp 1.5 ton inveter ac. Silent operation and faster cooling. Go with sharp AH-XP15RET.

What is google fiber

[@saaurabhyadav]

hey Geekyranjit how do u feel about sansui acs as they are cheap at 1.5 ton 5 stars at rs 23000 only so they attract a lot of attraction to many users so what do u think about sansui acs are they of good quality also i have heard that they make a lot of noise during usage....

[@MayurChaudhari211]

Ranjit Kumar I am planning to purchase 2 ACs.. Almost every AC dealer I asked..they said dont buy inverter ACs .. because if something breaks down the repairing cost is very high about 10 to 12k... also atleast here in Mumbai the cost of Inverter AC is nearly double the cost of 5* Ac... 5* Ac is around 36k and inverter is 60k for a Mitsubishi Model.. I dont mind buying inverter AC but the repairing cost scares me.. Sir pls help if u have any info regarding this..

[@geekyranjit]

Mayur Chaudhari The cost difference is not that much for example the Daikin 1.5 T inverter a/c that I use is now available for just Rs 42K so just about Rs 6-7K price difference compared to 5 star a/c, problem is local a/c repair shops might not be able to repair inverter a/c but in the long term we would be seeing a lot more inverter a/c being sold coz of the better features and power savings.

[@MayurChaudhari211]

***** Thank You sir..

[@sridharmanchikatla7264]

*Thank U So much. I knew many things from your video. It helped me a lot in buying A/C. I choosen Voltas.*

thnx fr d video.....wh is d best 1.5 tonn inverter ac to buy??

[@raghaf2007]

I'm living in Hyderabad... This video really helped.... Thanks a lot.....

[@scubbyism]

One Should Aware of the coiling used to make the A.C . Now day's some major A.C's Companies Are using Aluminium Coiling instead of Copper coiling , The only diff. between Al & Cu is that the life period of Cu is much better than Al and U won't face any such problems which u face in Al coiled A.C's .

[@geekyranjit]

SUBIN SB I hope this info helps you :)

[@technicalsales5399]

hello everyone, as explained in the video first of all u should check these parameters before buying any airconditioners:_ 1)Power input -it should be low as possible 2) running current - same as above 3) noise level of indoor & outdoor- low 4) warranty -should be more 5) technology -either fixed speed or invert-er (in which compressor adjusts the frequency) 6) type of connection-single phase /3 phase -single phase consumes less current 7)ISEER(Indian Seasonal Energy efficiency Ratio- higher the ISEER more will be the saving around 3.86-4.18 8) and the most important service support.- 9) type of condenser -Bluefin/copper /aluminium -copper condenser is the best , because thermal conductivity of copper is more than aluminium , more the thermal conductivity more will be the heat transfer. for LG make split airconditioners power input is as follows 1) JS Q12 NPXA - 1100WATTS 1TON 2) JS Q18 NPXA -1760WATTS 1.5TON 3) JS Q24 NPXA-2090WATTS 2.0 TON

[@nitinpandey5152]

Guys i have a very particular question. As you might have noticed, when the regular AC compressor cuts off and only the fan is running, we notice a stale/humid smell coming out of the AC vents. Does this not happen in the Inverter AC??

I have recently upgraded to diakin 1 ton invertor ac for my room and yes it does consumes less power as compared to others.

[@subhajitghosh2422]

Which is more power efficient 1. 5star ac or 2. inverter ac?

[@dixitjain1726]

AC'S are something purchased for long term use,keeping that in mind the best companies which one can go for are mitsubhishi,daikin both of which have excellent customer service and if somebody requires ac's for large halls op general is the best company.

[@vamsibiradavolu8801]

Great video with lots of information... Thank you very much .

[@TheOm004]

Buy inverter ac only if it covers PCB warranty otherwise in maintenance it will cost you around 3/4 price of the ac.

[@GauravTalksTech]

How important to consider copper condenser or aluminum condenser? I personally think copper is more efficient.

[@geekyranjit]

Gaurav Patel Yes copper is better, I feel if the distance to the outdoor unit is not that far then even aluminium would do but copper is a better option I have only used copper pipes for my A/C installations.

[@GauravTalksTech]

*****​ Sir, I am taking about condenser tube and fins on it that are made of copper for heat exchange in out door unit. Generally aluminum condenser is low in cost, To make ac efficient upto 5 star manufacturer use copper condenser.

[@upendrabhaishambhudaspatel9034]

Hi

[@srinivas171983]

I have a question bro can we run ac day and night ? and which type of ac should I buy inverter ac or 5 star ac?and can we keep it on continuously like refrigerator like it gets more cool it automatically shuts and when temperature rises gets on ,does ac's work on same principal? thanks in advance.

[@dhaval1090]

+srinivas.rao.l Sutrawe if you are planning to run the ac all day, go for inverter.

[@dhaval1090]

+srinivas.rao.l Sutrawe yes, ACs run on the same principal as refrigerator. more or less. ACs too shuts off when reach the set temp. but inverter ACs are more kind of variable capacity, they dont entirely shut off, they just run on low capacity after reaching temp. its much better than regular ACs.

[@srinivas171983]

+Dhaval Patel bro is bluestar inverter ac good and after sales service good? thanks in advance and Happy Ugadhi festival and Happy New year.

[@dhaval1090]

After sales service depends on the city u live in. Personally I would suggest to go for daikin or carrier instead of blue star. What prices are you getting for 1.5 ton ac? I am also looking for AC right now. I was quoted 42000 for a Lloyd 1.5 inverter. That fits my budget. But don't have much info about Lloyd ACs. They also quoted 35.5k for a daikin 3star and 36.5k for a carrier 3 star. With installation. Might go with carrier one. Superia 18k. 

[@dhaval1090]

And 5star ACs and inverter ACs are priced almost same. So no meaning going for 5 star ACs. Instead go for inverter.

[@akshat20021996]

Thanks Ranjit,lot of myths are cleared for your viewers. I have a question. I have 2 normal ac right now,and planning to upgrade. I have an inverter in my house that is connected with 5 CFLs and 3 fans. That gave me 4 hrs of backup. How much backup will inverter ac of 1.2 ton will give ?? My friends suggested there is no point of inverter ac,it will give 30-40 min backup and die. What's your take.plz answer

[@harshdeep9438]

THANKS for this knowledge and also do more these types of videos don't only stick to gadgets

Hi, im buying a 1 ton samsung digital inverter ac AR12kv 5hewk. My room is 10*12 approx, in first floor of 2 floors, I previously had an daikin 1.5ton 2star rated ac as the electric bill went upto 8k odd in summer for 2 months. Though no issues in ac as of now.

[@MrSammv]

That was really very helpful Ranjeet. Thanx a lot.

[@mikyM82]

Hi @geekyranjit Nice insights however don't agree with you on two points, you may want to check the facts beyond your personal usage experience, my understanding being 1. Inverter AC can go very low with power consumption as low as ~300 watts in steady state. Of course the catch is you get those figures only when you keep running the AC for a longer while. I think you did mention that it's wise to invest in inverter if running longer. 2. You can go for a smaller capacity inverter ac compared to conventional AC. This is simply because an inverter AC is always on, while running. Yes it will take a little longer (not noticeable in most cases) when it first starts up, but ideally you don't want to switch off an inverter AC because of point 1.

[@aquamcube]

[@ramakrishnaa6383]

I am using Samsung Digital Inverter AC since last year, I think it consumes nearly 30% less than my previous conventional type of AC's. But it costs very high compare with conventional type AC. Nearly it costs upto 50k, where as other star AC's only costs upto 35k.

[@geekyranjit]

Rama Krishna But now I have seen the price of inverter a/c also go down and price difference is just Rs 7-9K and if you are a heavy user it does make a wise decision to use the inverter model as within a year you can recover the extra cost by the saving made in electricity bill, my office A/c is switched on almost 12-14 hrs / day and I noticed immediate reduction is electricity bill after I moved to the Inverter a/c.
