Why Energy Conservation in Air Conditioners is a Major Factor to Look While Buying?

Air conditioners are possibly one of the most indispensable modern-day inventions, especially in the grueling summer months. With the rising temperature due to associated climate changes, air conditioners are no longer considered a luxury but a bare necessity in our homes. 

Contrary to the popular belief that air conditioners are not sustainable and cause a dent in your monthly expenses, they are more energy-efficient and cost-effective than ever before, so your energy bill doesn’t have to go up while you cool down.

If you are looking to buy a new air conditioner, there are multiple aspects to be looked at and one of the key ones is energy conservation. Let us elaborate more on this and the star rating which is an effective indicator to assess the energy efficiency in air conditioners.

Star Rating system in Air Conditioning

The star-rating system depicts the energy efficiency of an electrical device and was introduced by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) in India. The BEE mandates energy labeling of heavy appliances like AC’s which is intended to reduce energy consumption without diminishing the services it provides to consumers. The rating scale involves a 1 to 5-star rating with 1 being the least efficient and 5 being the most efficient.

In short, a 5-star AC will be more power-efficient (i.e. consumes less electricity) than a 3-star AC

What does the Star Rating imply?

  • More the stars, better the cooling

A 5-star AC performs much better than a 3-star AC and functions optimally to cool the room faster than a 3-star AC. 

The Blue Star 5-star window 1 TON AC (5W12GBTLV) priced at INR 27,490 is engineered with a high energy efficiency rotary compressor with a built-in accumulator to enhance cooling performance at low energy consumption levels, increased efficiency and lower cost.  The special anti-corrosive Blue Fins which are used in the copper condenser help resist corrosion thus increasing the AC’s life and overall performance. 

  • Higher Rating, More Savings

As you go higher up with the ratings, more the energy that gets saved. On average, a 5-star air conditioner can save considerable energy than a 3-star air conditioner.  

Blue Star’s super energy-efficient 5-star inverter split AC with an ISEER (Indian Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ration) of 5.41 is 55% more energy-efficient compared to a 3-star inverter split AC. In addition, these air conditioners come with in-built air purifier, which can remove 99.78% of particulate matter (PM 2.5) and a microbial kill rate of 99.999%

  • Higher Rating, More Powerful

The AC with a higher rating is more powerful. It also cools more effectively and consistently while generating lesser noise.

Blue Star Inverter 5-star Air conditioners come with UV-C technology which reduces deposits on heat exchangers thus ensuring cleaner coils and higher energy efficiency. Additionally, they come with features like I Feel technology for maximum comfort and precision cooling technology for an intelligent cooling experience

  • Higher rating, increased environment-friendliness

Blue Star Ac's are manufactured with environmentally friendly refrigerants (R410A and R32). These eco-friendly refrigerants have zero Ozone-depleting substances ensuring fast cooling through better heat transfer.

How does star rating increase the purchase cost of ACs?

In order to increase the energy efficiency, AC manufacturers needs to enhance the design parameters like increasing airflow, surface area of copper tubes and more powerful compressor. This inevitably leads to an increase in the purchase cost of the higher star-rated ACs.

However take note: 

  1. An AC is not a one-time cost only and you will need to incur monthly running expenses in the form of electricity bills. Hence make sure to not let the short-term gains (i.e. purchase cost) outweigh the long-term gains (i.e. electricity savings)
  2. The way you use your air-conditioner is as important as the AC you buy. Proper installation, periodic servicing and cleaning of filters along with proper room ventilation also contribute to a better performing AC and more energy saving

Buying an AC on EMI

Now that you understand the importance of an air conditioner which has a higher star rating, you will be able to appreciate why energy efficiency should be one of the top parameters to be looked into while buying a new Voltas AC.  And if the down-payment towards your purchase was holding you back, then look no further. 

At the Bajaj Finserv EMI store, you not only get to explore air conditioners with the highest star rating but also have the benefit of availing interest-free loans on your favorite appliances. The initial purchase cost gets divided into easy installments which can be paid back in flexible tenures. Additionally, you can walk into any one of our 1 Lakh + partner stores and avail of the in-store financing options while buying your next air conditioner.
