Nowadays ac 1 ton is seen very common among all bedroom. It is because the spending capacity of middle-class individuals has increased. Now every home is thinking of replacing its old cooler with a new air conditioner on summer days. The air conditioner is no longer considered a luxury but seems to be a need in this era of global warming. Every year our sun is going to be very hot and sometimes we have to face a temperature of more than 45 degrees Celsius which can be unbearable to every human being. Hence in this article, we are going to discuss 1 ton ac room size.
The salesman of the shop will try to sell 1.5-ton ac irrespective of your room requirement. But you should know 1 ton ac room size.
1 ton ac room size, Factors to consider
When this question came which tonnage of air conditioner we have to choose, it depends on many factors.
If your room ceiling is covered with plaster of Paris ceiling, then it effectively curtains ceiling temperature. Due to this false ceiling, your requirement for more tonnage decreases. On the contrary, if your room is the shop, in which the ceiling height is double the usual height, then your room is storing more warm air, which will require more tonnage of the air conditioner.
If your room has a fixed wooden cupboard, that also going to reduce the amount of ac tonnage required to cool your room. Because space of cupboard will decrease the actual room air to be cooled.
If your room has a wall which is directly getting heated by the sunlight, then in this situation you will require more tonnage air conditioner.
If your room is an office room where the closure of the door is not possible, in this situation also you will be required to install more tonnage AC to cool air immediately.
Ac 1 ton vs 1.5 ton ac
Ac 1 ton consumes less wattage as compared to 1.5-ton ac. It is because more capacity of compressor used in 1.5 ton ac. Hence if you choose 1.5 tons for a 10 x 10 room, then unnecessarily more wattage will be consumed.
The indoor unit of 1.5 ton ac is more in size than ac 1 ton. Hence for small room indoor unit of 1.5 will be unfit.
If you need an immediate blast of cool air, then 1 ton is unable to give you.
If you are thinking about whether to purchase inverter or non-inverter ac then the definite answer is inverter ac only. Non-inverter ac technology is outdated now. It will reduce your electricity bill and will save your money.
Ac 1 ton: 3 stars or 5 stars.
If again you are in a dilemma whether to go for 3 stars or 5 stars, then you need to consider a few factors first.
Do you need more money-saving? You can wait a while to cool your room? If your answer to both questions is yes, then you can go to buy 5-star ac.
But if you need to save some money but with immediate cooling, then go for 3-star ac 1 ton.
Pre requirement before installation of Ac 1 ton.
This is an absolute requirement before installation. Hence if you buy your ac 1 ton without noticing this, your ac will remain uninstalled at home.
You must have a PowerPoint at a place where you are willing to instal ac. First, decide the place where to install it, then look for a PowerPoint. If it is not available near to it, call an electrician to make new.
To make a new PowerPoint for ac, you will require new wiring to be drawn directly from the electric metre. Also need to install a separate MCB for ac. All this work may take time and extra money which you may not be aware of.
Hence you need to calculate before buying. There is another expenditure also which you should know. That is extra work required for the installation of ac in the form of a long pipeline and bracket for the outdoor unit.
This can also increase your budget. Please calculate all these before buying.
At last but not least, you must take care of your water drainage pipe coming from the indoor unit. You should not leave it open to disturb your neighbour. Make proper arrangements.
The installation team will not suggest you as they are also Indian and don’t want to take care of a neighbouring person.
What is 6 in one in 1 ton ac.
With the advancement of technology, every new air conditioner is coming with this extra feature. Almost all companies have launched this feature in their air conditioner. Generally, they include this technology in premium 5 Star AC.
With this feature, you can adjust the speed of the compressor according to your requirement. This means if you want your room to be cooled very fast then you can use 100% capacity of the compressor. What if you think that I have to use the lower capacity of the compressor then with the help of the remote you can adjust it to 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% also.
This technology is called ‘All in one’ Technology or ‘6 in one’ Technology or some company may call it by any other name but in every company, Technology will be the same.
Otherwise also in auto mode, your compressor will decrease speed according to the room temperature and adjust the setting for cooling automatically. Hence need for this technology is not a must which will increase the cost of the product.
Do we need to keep the fan on?
Many people ask me this simple question of whether we need to keep it on or not. The answer to this question is yes. You need to keep on your ceiling fan open. Because air conditioner will throw cool air inside your room but could not guarantee it will reach every corner of the room.
This means after a few minutes, you may feel cooling inside the room but you may not feel a blast of cool air on your face. Hence to feel airblast to your face, you need to keep your ceiling fan open. A ceiling fan also helps to push hot air down, which gets easily cooled by the air conditioner. This way your room gets cool very fast. The ceiling fan will not cost you more electricity bills because you need to keep it on at on lower speed.
Do we need to close the door tightly?
There is no need to close your bedroom door tightly. I have seen families closing their bedroom doors with some packing. They were also trying to pack their window so that no single amount of cool air will go outside.
This is not at all required. Just close your door lightly. Even if some air enters inside your bedroom, its small quantity will get immediately cool by the large quantity of cool air. This means the amount of hot air coming inside will be very less than the production of cool air. Hence inside temperature will not change immediately with the small opening of the door.
Which brand is good for ac 1 ton?
There is not much difference in brands. Many brands sell their products at a higher price due to their brand getting recognition. Some new brands, sell their products at lower prices also.
Although the basic technology is the same, some companies provide better after sell services and more warranties for products which cost higher. Some companies coat their outdoor unit fins with some coating as an antirust solution, some make all fins with copper instead of aluminium and keep their price high.
These are all extra features which can increase the life of the product and hence can be more expensive. Otherwise, you can get basic ac at a lower price also.
Some of the best brands are LG, whirlpool, Panasonic and Bluestar.
Should we buy online?
If you want to buy AC 1 ton online then first check the same model prices in your city. If the difference is more than 2000 rupees excluding installation charges, then you can go for online purchasing.
Otherwise, go to your local market and bargain with the dealer and quote the model available at a lower price online. With some bargain, he can give you the best price with the minimal difference of 1000 rupees in online and offline mode. If the difference is less than 1000, go with local market purchasing and also confirm installation charges.
The benefit of local market purchasing is that you can bargain, you can see the actual product, and how it looks. Your product can get immediately replaced if it is not working after installation, and you can get an immediate solution to anything.
If you are buying ac 1 ton online then buy only reputed company products like LG and Panasonic and so on. This company product rarely failed after installation. If it fails to achieve the desired cooling then you can contact the service centres of the company. Both these companies have good service centre services. They will immediately report you and will give you the solution.
If your product is failing to start at the installation, then you can opt for immediate replacement of the model. Do not go for any type of repair work without the usage of the model.
If the product is failing to cool after installation immediately, means the model is at fault and you have a right to replace it immediately with the new product because the product you are purchasing is faulty. And you can not pay a single penny for any faulty product. Hence always insist on replacement of product which shows any sign of fault after installation.
Opinion
The price difference between ac 1 ton and 1.5 ton is hardly 5000 rupees. But If you choose higher tonnage ac unnecessarily, it will drain your money lifetime. Hence don’t go with the opinion of the salesman who will try to convince you in all ways how 1.5 ac will be a good choice for you. Even if you have only 10 x 10 room size.
Hence consider all the above points and go with the ac 1 ton, if all criteria mentioned above are fulfilled.
