Worried about electricity bills? I got your back! If summers are not your favorite season then I suspect you might be running the air conditioner constantly! I hate summers! A hot and humid climate is not my slice of cake and I keep my AC running throughout the day. I was once worried about the electricity bills but not after getting a 5 Star rating AC. The more the star rating, the higher the product is energy efficient. Every brand has a star rating that is awarded by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). This indicates the customer knows the power required to run an Air conditioner.

I was confused initially about the brand to buy and the market is flooded with loads of 5-star rating ACs. I took the time to review each one of them in the list to make sure you get the right one that suits your pocket as well. The products I have listed are some of the most-liked and reviewed products and they are available online in stores like Amazon as well. Some of the products are tested in our lab and by real customers as well. A 5-star rating AC comes with a price tag of above INR 35,000 and can up to INR 60,000.

I have also heard that a 5-star AC can save you up to 20 to 22% of your energy cost and when the climate is so humid it can go come down to 10-28% power. Understanding the electricity needs and cooling capacity buy the product that also suits your budget.
