NewsVoir Pune (Maharashtra) [India], February 26: Summer is here, and staying cool isn’t just a luxury–it is essential. Buying the right AC can make all the difference between a comfy, refreshing home
and soaring electricity bills. Before you rush into a purchase, it helps to focus on practical needs rather than just discounts or looks. Brands like Voltas, Hitachi, LG, and Samsung offer a wide range of ACs, but choosing the wrong model can cost you in comfort and efficiency. The good news is that buying a new AC doesn’t have to strain your budget. With Bajaj Finserv Easy EMI loan, you can spread the cost of up to Rs. 5 lakh into manageable monthly instalments. Many models are available with zero down payment, making upgrades more accessible. Plus, during the Bajaj Finserv Summer Sale, you can explore a wide range of options at attractive prices. How the wrong AC choice affects comfort and bills Buying an AC without checking the right specs can lead to: – High electricity bills – Uneven cooling – Frequent breakdowns Avoid these common mistakes to make a smart, energy-efficient choice. 1. Picking the wrong AC size – Too small: Runs constantly, struggles to cool, wastes energy. – Too large: Cools unevenly and consumes extra electricity. Always match AC capacity (tonnage) to your room size. 2. Ignoring Energy Star Ratings Price matters, but so does efficiency. Higher BEE star-rated ACs cost more upfront but save significantly on electricity over time. 3. Overlooking Inverter Technology Non-inverter ACs frequently switch on/off, consuming more power. Inverter ACs adjust compressor speed, making them quieter, faster, and energy-efficient. 4. Forgetting installation costs Split ACs require professional installation, brackets, copper piping, and sometimes stabilizers. Include these costs in your budget. 5. Ignoring room conditions – Direct sunlight, high ceilings, poor insulation, and number of occupants affect cooling. – Don’t choose an AC based only on square footage–consider room environment too. 6. Skipping maintenance planning: Check service availability locally. Regular servicing ensures long-term performance and reliability. 7. Prioritising looks over performance: Sleek design is nice, but cooling efficiency, warranty, after-sales support, and spare part availability matter more.
