Summer is just around the corner and the experience from last few years’ excruciating heat must have already started alarming you about how your electricity bills are going toshoot up because of heavy air conditioner usage soon. Let’s face it- you either have to put up with the huge sum or bear the scorching heat to cut down on electricity bill. That’s exactly whereenergy efficient AC’s come into play -both saving on electricity bills and beating the heat like a pro! You might have noticed star ratings on air conditioners pretty often and wondered what theseactually signify. Well, these are simply a measureto know how energy efficient an AC is. Ideally, 5-star ACs are the most energy efficient and lead to maximum energy cost savings.

Why Go For Energy Efficient ACs Despite Their High Cost?
- Lower energy bills: Energy saving ACs have better parts and materials that use energy smartly, lowering your usage rate and thereafter, energy costs.
- Improved environmental footprint: Less energy usage can help reduce the overall energy use of your home, and decrease your carbon footprint in the big picture.
- Increased cooling performance: Using anenergy efficient AC will cool down the same room a lot quicker than a less efficient model, which means faster comfort.
- Better quality: Models with higher efficiency are typically made with improved parts contributing to quieter and faster operation.
What is EER?
We often bump into the term EER while lookingup the specifications of ACs. It stands for Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is the ratio of the cooling capacity (in British thermal units [BTU] per hour) to the power input (in watts). The higher the EER rating, the more efficient the air conditioner would be.
What are the benefits of EER?
The EER of air-conditioners comes with a host of advantages. Let us look at some of them.
- Low carbon footprint, minimizing the overall energy usage of your household
- High performance, soothing the hot summer months effectively
- Better qualitycontributing to quiet operation and longer-lasting hardware
- Lower utility bills due to using less power to run the HVAC system overall
- Smart functionality, like energy-saving modes and automatic maintenance reminders for maximum savings
Needless to say, energy efficient ACs are the talk of the town in recent times. Not just because of their cost-effectiveness but also their eco-friendliness. So, while the world’s likely to go hot in a few more days, its time for you to stay cool, get summer ready and contribute to a greener planet simultaneously!
