Total running cost depends on model, capacity, hours of use, and local unit rates. We explain cost formulas, practical savings tactics, and what to check before you buy.
Estimate hourly cost with AC kW × unit rate. Example: 1.2 kW at ₹8/unit is about ₹9.6 per hour.
Inverter ACs ramp power up or down with demand, so continuous use usually costs less. Compare EER/COP or star ratings carefully.
A 24–26°C setting, sealed rooms, regular service, and correct tonnage are the most effective savings levers.
Do not buy on price alone — check service network, efficiency, BTU/ton for room size, and long-term running cost.
Jump straight into the category you care about.
