Buyer's Glossary

Key Specifications to Compare
Before Buying an Air Conditioner

Most buyers focus only on price and brand. These 6 specs actually determine whether you'll be happy with your AC for the next 10 years.

ISEER

Indian Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio

The most important number. Higher = more efficient. 5-star ACs have ISEER ≥ 4.7. Aim for 5.0+ for maximum savings.

Pro Tip

Every 0.5 ISEER improvement saves ~8% electricity annually.

Cooling Capacity

Watts (W) or BTU/hr

The actual cooling output. A 1.5-ton AC should deliver 5,000–5,400 W. Higher is better for large or hot rooms.

Pro Tip

Don't confuse rated tonnage with actual cooling output — they can differ by 5–10%.

Noise Level

Decibels (dB)

Indoor unit noise. Under 25 dB is whisper-quiet. 30+ dB is noticeable. Critical for bedrooms.

Pro Tip

Inverter ACs are inherently quieter because the compressor doesn't cycle on/off.

Refrigerant

R-32 vs R-410A

R-32 is the modern standard — lower GWP (Global Warming Potential), more efficient, and cheaper to recharge. Avoid R-22 (phased out).

Pro Tip

R-32 ACs are ~10% more efficient than equivalent R-410A models.

Air Throw

Feet (ft)

How far the cooled air reaches. 12–15 ft is standard for 1.5-ton. Critical for rooms wider than 14 ft.

Pro Tip

Poor air throw means uneven cooling — one side of the room stays warm.

Compressor Type

Inverter vs Fixed Speed

Inverter compressors vary speed to match load — far more efficient. Fixed-speed runs at 100% or 0%.

Pro Tip

Always choose inverter. The efficiency gap is 30–40% over a season.

Deep Dive

LG vs Daikin vs Samsung: Which 5-Star AC Wins?

LG leads on ISEER (5.20) and compressor warranty (10 years). Daikin wins on noise (19 dB) and air quality. Samsung dominates on smart features. Use the comparison tool above to see your specific use case.

Pro tip: Run the LG AC at 26°C with the Atomberg BLDC fan — the fan's wind-chill effect makes 26°C feel like 24°C, cutting your bill by ~30% vs running AC alone at 24°C.
