Straightforward answers to common questions buyers ask before choosing a Split AC. Written to make the decision process easier.
What tonnage is right for a 200 sq ft room?
A room of around 200 sq ft typically works well with a Split AC in the 1.5 ton range, depending on heat load, sunlight exposure and occupancy.
How often should Split AC filters be cleaned?
Most homes benefit from cleaning the filters every few weeks during active use. Dust-heavy environments may need more frequent cleaning.
Do Split ACs consume less power than Window ACs?
Split ACs with inverter compressors generally run more efficiently because they adjust speed based on demand.
Why does the outdoor unit make noise?
The outdoor unit houses the compressor and fan. Some sound is normal, though unusual rattling, vibration or loud operation may need attention.
Is inverter technology reliable for daily home use?
Inverter technology is widely used for stable temperature control and improved energy performance.
How far can the indoor and outdoor units be placed?
Most standard installations allow a reasonable distance between the two units. Exact limits depend on pipe length recommendations, which vary by model.
Does star rating really matter?
Yes. Higher star ratings usually reflect better efficiency, which can reduce electricity consumption over time.
What affects real cooling performance at home?
Room insulation, placement of the indoor unit, airflow, sunlight and maintenance all influence how well a Split AC performs.
