Air conditioners are the only way to avoid heat in the Summer season. But it is as easy to buy an ac as it is difficult to run it because the wide electric bill comes at the month’s end. Making a review on AC is more difficult as it is not possible to tell the best AC based on specs.
I made this review after buying, installing & testing ACs. I also tested some ACs in shops. Today I’ll tell you the best Energy Efficient AC or Low Power Consumption AC that are 5 Star rated and comes with good specifications. Hello friends, my name is Jitendro & this is the most unique article on ACs.
After researching these ACs, I’ll tell you why they are the best. I can’t buy all ACs and that is why I checked them in shops. But listen to these points to select the best AC as per your needs. Friends, I am doing this hard work so that you can buy the right AC.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- I’ll tell you why I didn’t give it any position. It is a good AC but only for some people. Wind-free is an over-hyped feature. It is good for cool rooms, or for rooms with no sunlight or ground-floor rooms where you want to reduce humidity. According to Samsung power consumption reduces by 77% with wind free feature. But I think the speed of the blower doesn’t affect power consumption to that extent. Power consumption is affected due to the compressor or motor. Wind-free the feature doesn’t affect the compressor.
Cons
- This AC rooms between 160-175 sqft as it has a 1.42-ton capacity. For bigger rooms, go for others. Last but not least- there is no backlight in the remote (bummer). Choose yourself. Samsung released 3 models with 1.5-ton capacity- 1) without wind free but with a good warranty package, 2) this Rs 45K model without a PCB warranty & 3) a Rs 48K similar model but with 5 years comprehensive warranty. Decide yourself. They have the same compressor with the same features. 1st AC doesn’t have wind free feature. 2nd has wind-free but not good warranty (Rs 45K). The third is slightly expensive but has a good warranty. I would have skipped it. I don’t recommend Samsung AC 2022. No. 1 in my list of best AC in India 2022

Low Power Consumption AC Buying Guide
1. Indian Season Energy Efficiency Ratio (ISEER)
Indian Season Energy Efficiency Ratio (ISEER) has changed in 2022. It is now valid till30 June 2022. The power consumption displayed is recorded under the test conditions of 1600 hours. Let’s see the actual power consumption. A variable speed inverter AC with a 1350W motor operated for 6 hrs/day for 30 days will consume 121 units and when operated for 8 hrs/day for 30 days will consume 162 units with inverter benefits. Whereas the ISEER label pitches these figures.
2. What are Inverter AC benefits?
There are 2 types ACs available such as normal inverters & convertible inverter ACs. The compressor of convertible AC works at different speeds & capacities. A 1.5-ton AC performs between 0.8 to 1.6 tons. This is a convertible feature and the inverter benefit was told after calculating it.
An inverter AC is good for sealed rooms with no direct sunlight. Buy a 5-star AC if you use it for more than 6 months per year. 3-star AC is good for 3-4 months of use. You must have decided whether you want a convertible or a non-convertible AC.
3. Size of the AC
For 110sqft, 1 ton AC is apt. For 110-180sqft, 1.5 ton AC is good. 2 ton AC is suitable for 185-275sqft rooms. Non-inverter AC is best for shops and offices.
4. Controller PCB
The controller PCB (on the outdoor unit) is the most important part of an inverter AC as it is more prone to damage. Its replacement cost is approx Rs 15K. Buy an AC with a good PCB warranty. A cheap AC with no PCB warranty is worthless.
5. Coating on the Condenser
The special colour coating on the condenser coil to prevent sediment & soil is good for people living in coastal areas or near drains. A special chemical coating is essential to prevent the condenser.
6. Warranty is significant
We called service centres from different locations and with varied problems. Our feedback based on replies will be shared later. I will tell you all the essential details. The brand will not uphold the warranty if the damage is done by the customer. For eg brand will not uphold the warranty if the condenser is damaged due to drain. But a good extended warranty can do this. I recommend Go Warranty’s extended warranty package. I don’t give my affiliate link for that. Buy it from anywhere.
7. Noise level
As per BIS 1391 Part 2, noise levels of the indoor units should not exceed 62dB. Don’t believe the brand’s lowest noise levels. Realistic noise levels up to 45dB are fair.
8. Installation
Installation charges vary between Rs500-1500. Installation from brands gives you a proper brand warranty. The installation kit has 3-5mt copper pipes but the extra pipes cost around Rs 4-5K. Installation charges + wire charges+ AC’s cost is the total cost. I will compare all these brands.
FAQs: Energy Efficient AC
1. If we will get it installed by our private technician then will we be eligible for the warranty?
No warranty if AC is not installed by the AC brand technician, all brands are doing the same.
2. Is Installation included in the order?
Yes, the Brand Installation charge + GST.
3. How many free preventative services are in the first year?
Total 3 servicing depending on your brand.
4. The ac runs for 9 to 10 hrs every day. how much unit consumption?
10-15 units depending on your AC running time
5. What do we get an inside box?
A: Indoor Unit, remote, batteries, outdoor unit with copper pipe and some documents related to the product.
6. What is the cast of extra copper pipe per meter?
1000-1200/meter depends upon your AC brands.
