Verdict Summary
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.
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.
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%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
