Need AC · DIGIT-ARC

Ok help me beat the heat with a nice AC.
Budget:40k(can be altered a bit)
My previous ones were from voltas.
More the stars the better i guess.
Thank you. :razz:

First of all room size please.

Then Go for either Daikin or Bluestar, best in class

One info:
Last year 3 Star rating products has Energy efficiency ratio of ~2.84
This year 2 Star rating products has Energy efficiency ratio of ~2.84

So this year 3 Star is more energy efficient and costly too

^^ I don't understand. If the Energy efficiency ratio for both (2 and 3 star product) is same, then why one would be costly then the other?

Don't exactly know.Please suggest me a 2 ton AC which is energy efficient.
Is Voltas a bad company?

I was thinking the same. :razz:

^^ I think Daikin won't fit into your budget for a 2 tonne one. If you can extend the budget and go for Daikin/o general.

Daikin , Ogeneral are really very good..
other option can be of Hitachi.. very efficient..

How much does it cost?
Can increase the budget if it's value for money.

2 ton and split.

For 2 ton split,
Ogeneral will cost around 45 to 55K
Daikin will cost around 50 to 60K

Consult your local dealer. Different models have different features. So, list your features to the dealer to suggest a model from the brand.

any suggestion fr me, friends...

voltas model because it has compressor, condenser and pipelines all are made of pure copper unlike LG-samsung aluminum. Ask your dealer to provide hitachi or mitsbushi compressor in voltas.

There are 4 types of gold 1.5t sac, I'm talking about gold 2 star (2S). LINK

MRP 31490 INR you can get 8-10% discount from distributor shop.

Installation charges 1k + 3-4k for a digital stabilizer (V-guard recommended)

why 2 star? 5 star has high eer.
and budget also 25k-27k....

Gold 5 star is of 39k MRP LINK

It will cost you 36k (8% discount) + 1k installation + 3k stabilizer = 40k!!

If your budget is 25-27k better to get a window ac 5 star. But Platinum 5S LINK

Why do dealers offers 8% discount?
Are Bluebird stabilizers bad?

I'm talking about distributor cum dealers, they generally offer 8-10% discount on MRP, because they offer discount to sell you LOL.
Never heard of bluebird, I prefer v-guard, it is a old and very reliable brand.
BTW What kind of AC are you looking for?

I need 2 Ton split one as i mentioned in my previous posts.I am currently comparing a few models from both Daikin and Ogeneral.Will finalize soon.
If u wanna suggest something specific please do so.Read first post.
:razz:

Thanks for suggestion. I was thinking of buying one too. :mrgreen:

hi guys....
budget increased to 32k-35k. can u suggest a good 1.5 ton split ac within this budget.
also if u can, suggest some window ac model.
is a 5 star split ac possible within dis budget?
how is carrier company ac?
thx....

1. electricity bill for window ac is more than split ac
2. No 5 star is too costly and hardly u see a difference of 200-400 rupees per month.
If u r using it for about 18 hours u can see the more price difference
3. Carrier AC's is the first brand in heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, but they are costly [my frd said so]

My suggestion is Daikin, My other frd using it for 10 years no problem so far [so i also bought it].
I think ur budget ll fit, not sure cause Daikin price's gone up

VOLTAS PLATINUM 5S window AC consume just 1607W power.
It costs 28k in market.

thx for da model n info. i prefer split ac. bt its my dad pushing me for window.
to setup a window ac in a room where u dont hav any pre-organised space for ac, cost another few bucks. so its always better to setup split. and for window ac u hav setup a iron cage for it, to prevent it from thief.

can u plz chk voltas gold 1.5t sac. its a 5 star split ac. price within 32k. i chked it online.

@gmg9: then 3 star ac is a way to go dude
