Frequently Asked Questions
No, an AC cools at a fixed rate. Setting it lower than needed just makes it run longer and consume more electricity, without cooling faster.
This varies greatly. A non-inverter 1.5-ton AC might consume around 1.5 units (kWh) per hour. A 5-star inverter 1.5-ton AC could be closer to 0.8-1.2 units per hour depending on room size and outside temperature.
Yes, room size, insulation, direct sunlight exposure, number of people in the room, and outdoor temperature all play a role.
ISEER (Indian Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) is an energy efficiency rating specific to India, which considers varying temperatures throughout the year, providing a more realistic efficiency measure than EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio).
Cleaning your AC filters every 2-4 weeks (or as needed) can significantly improve efficiency and reduce electricity consumption by ensuring proper airflow.
Yes, if you know the total tonnage/capacity of your central AC system and its power consumption details, the calculator can estimate its usage.
Yes, significant voltage fluctuations can make an AC work harder, potentially leading to increased power consumption and even damage over time.
