Best 1.5 ton AC: what to check before you buy

Festival sales bring big AC discounts. This checklist helps you pick the right 1.5 ton AC, then compare today's real prices.

1. Inverter compressor

Pick an inverter AC for lower power bills and steady cooling, especially if you use it daily.

Check the BEE star label. 5 star saves more power; 3 star is cheaper to buy.

Copper coils cool well and are easier to repair than aluminium ones.

1.5 ton fits most bedrooms and small halls. Top floor or west-facing rooms may need a bigger AC.

Check whether installation, the stand and extra copper pipe cost extra, and how long the compressor warranty is.

Is a 1.5 ton AC right for my room?

A 1.5 ton AC usually suits rooms of about 120–180 sq ft. Top-floor rooms or rooms with strong afternoon sun may need more.

Inverter or non-inverter?

Inverter ACs adjust their speed instead of switching on and off, so they usually use less power and stay quieter. They cost a little more to buy.

3 star or 5 star?

5 star uses less electricity. If you run the AC many hours every day, the power saving can cover the higher price over a few years.
