If you are looking for an affordable AC in the entry-grade segment, there are many decent Window and Split air conditioner options that you can choose from. Options under Rs. 20,000 are, however, fairly limited. If you have a limited budget, you can consider renting an AC or you may extend your budget by another 5K to 10K. You can then get options with a one-ton capacity like the AmazonBasics 1 Ton Non-Inverter Split AC or smaller 0.8-ton ACs like the Daikin 0.8 Ton Fixed FTL28U Split AC. Several Inverter ACs are also available in the segment like the Lloyd 1 Ton GLS12I35WSHL Inverter Split AC and Godrej 1 Ton Inverter Split AC.
Most of the Air-conditioners in the segment are rated for 3 Star energy efficiency. Inverter ACs can adjust their compressor speed according to the cooling needs depending on factors like the size of the room and weather conditions. They can vary the power consumption based on the current requirements, thereby reducing energy wastage. By continuously regulating the compressor speed, inverter ACs can maintain a consistent temperature with minimal fluctuations and achieve energy savings of up to 30% compared to non-inverter models. Let’s now jump to some of the best options that you can consider.
