1.5 ton AC under ₹ 40,000: As sun beats down on us, it is time cool the air

The tropical sun is fully upon us. With temperatures soaring high across many parts of India and humidity levels peaking in the coastal regions of the country, we are having to deal with summer heat in all its ferocity. An air conditioner (AC) can be a saviour in such times.

For medium-sized rooms in average Indian homes, a 1.5 ton AC can work wonders. Each of the AC manufacturers mention the room sizes for which their ACs are suitable. Just why is an AC effective against heat? For one, it pulls hot air from our homes, works to cool it down by releasing its heat outside, then distribute the newly-cooled air through a system of ducts back into our homes. ACs come at various prices. A 1.5 ton AC within the price range of ₹40,000 is affordable by many Indian households.

There are many brands in the market that sell such ACs and, sometimes, it can get confusing to sift through the maze of brands and get one that fits both one's consumption pattern and budget. We have shortlisted few ACs available online and you should take a look at them. It is important to note that all companies send technicians home to install the ACs, however, charges are applicable for the same.
