GIF AC Buying: What to Watch For

5-Star vs 3-Star: 5-Star inverter ACs use 25–40% less electricity than 3-Star models. In Indian metros where ACs run 8–12 hours daily in summer, the annual electricity saving is ₹3,000–₆,000 — paying back the ₹5,000–₈,000 premium in 1–2 years.

Inverter vs non-inverter: Always buy inverter. Non-inverter ACs are cheaper upfront but significantly more expensive to run. All 5-Star rated ACs are inverter by definition.

Capacity:

• 1 Ton: Rooms up to 120 sq ft
• 1.5 Ton: Rooms 120–200 sq ft (most Indian bedrooms)
• 2 Ton: Rooms 200–350 sq ft (drawing rooms, large bedrooms)

Recommendation: Daikin 1.5 Ton 5-Star Inverter for reliability and efficiency. LG equivalent for buyers who prefer Korean brand service network. Voltas for the best value at GIF pricing.
