Split or Window AC, which one should you get?

Split or Window AC, which one should you get?

Split air conditioners are made up of two parts, an indoor unit and an outdoor unit that work together to cool the room. Usually, Split AC’s are faster at cooling, more energy efficient and quieter. If you own your place and do not plan to move for a long time you should look at getting a split A/C. 
Pros:
  • Quieter and Wide blowers for quicker cooling.
  • Newer technologies are available like inverter AC and also less polluting refrigerants like R-401A, R32 and R290.
  • More suitable for rooms that have less ventilation.
  • Less noisy as compressor and condenser are located outside.
Cons:
  • Expensive to install.
  • Need to make a hole in the wall.
  • Need an outside area to keep the compressor and tubing
A Window AC is a single compact unit that has all its components contained in one box. Window models are the most affordable and the easiest to install. Window AC’s are great for smaller rooms like bedrooms. Window air conditioners are ideal for controlling the temperature in a single room or a confined space. However they are noisier and not so energy efficient.
Pros:
  • Easy install – They are the most sensible option if you don’t own the property.
  • Compact, single unit.
  • No necessity to make a hole in the wall.

Cons:
  • They are noisy since the compressor is attached to the unit. 
  • Not as effective as Split AC in cooling and uses older more polluting refrigerants like R22.

How to Select a Water Purifier for Home Use?

How to Select a Water Purifier for Home Use? While you may come across many water purifiers online, the below- mentioned parameters will help you decide which one is the best water purifier for home use. Different types of water purifiers – which one is suitable for your water? Is your water surface water (from rivers and lakes) which has been supplied by the municipality or is it groundwater (from borewells, supplied by tankers)? If it is surface water, supplied by the municipal corporation, chances are that the TDS (dissolved impurities) are low and you need to only protect yourself from microbiological impurities like bacteria and viruses.However, if your water is groundwater supplied by tankers, there may be a higher level of dissolved impurities, altering the taste of the water, and at higher levels may affect your long term health. As a thumb rule, if you get groundwater, check the TDS with a simple TDS meter. If your TDS is above 500 ppm, then choosing an RO water pu...

Why buy an Inverter AC?

Why buy an Inverter AC? Inverter air conditioners are more powerful and more energy efficient. They offer around 50% more energy savings and are more efficient at maintaining temperature as compared to a non-inverter model. The Inverter is a device in the air conditioner that controls frequency of power supplied to the compressor motor. In Inverter air conditioners, on achieving the desired temperature the compressor speed slows and the refrigerant rate drops, and the air conditioner works at a lower capacity. As a result, lower average power is consumed offering energy and electricity savings. In contrast, non-inverter air conditioners have a fixed speed compressor that cannot increase or decrease their speed and refrigerant flow rate as per the cooling requirements of the room. The compressor stops on reaching the desired temperature and when the temperature rises again the compressor & refrigerant flow restart. This stop/start cycle continues in a non-inverter air conditio...
