Inverter ACs can be a life-saver in peak summers as they not only ensure effective cooling but also help users lower electricity bills. Inverter ACs could be split and window both and available at different Ton capacities. In simple terms, an inverter AC adjusts cooling or fan speed on its own based on the room temperature. These are ideal for big rooms (200sq ft above) and for customers who use ACs for more than six hours daily (5 months of the year). That being said, inverter ACs are expensive, and the costs of spare parts and servicing are higher than non-inverter ACs.
If you’re planning to buy a new AC this summer, here are eight inverter ACs that you can check out on Amazon and Flipkart. The prices may fluctuate on these platforms, so make sure you cross-check with other platforms.
