Which AC to choose?

The fan speed of the AC as well does not have impact on the compressor and hence very little impact on the power consumption.Can simply combine AC cooling with a fan. Keep AC few degrees above preference and use fan.
Pretty obvious but for some reason most don't seem to do it.
“Can I Use Both Air Conditioner and Ceiling Fan Together?” [FAQ]
Here's a question we get from concerned homeownerswww.coolray.com
A ceiling fan spreads the air across the room. I was mentioning a specific scenario where you are alone in a room. In those cases 40% compressor capacity at even 27 degrees with low fan speed is enough if the blow is directed towards you.
The main point is that having a higher tonnage AC with variable capacity and multi directional vents is enough to cover all scenarios compared to people purchasing a slightly lower fixed capacity AC.

mitsubishi heavy > mitsubishi > daikin/o general.
end of discussion if budget is not a constraint.
can recommend panasonic and lg inverters as well in the budget range.
anything out of this is luck / a toss of a coin.
i stick to mitsubishis. panasonic if less used.
nothing less than 5 star and inverter for long term peace of mind.
mitsubishi installs are another 7k on top, nothing is free.

agree but let me add 2 more if someone avoids these 3 due to budget issues [ Mitsubishi and o general are costly af]
mitsubishi heavy > mitsubishi > daikin/o general > bluestar> carrier.
got 2 Bluestar installed last summer and they cool a lot better than daikin
daikin quality has gone down when they started to manufacture in India

Inverted AC you say?
Jokes aside, I bought 3 LG's 5 star 1 ton AC last year and they are good. Might be outside of your budget though. I also gave a detailed review somewhere on this forum if you wanna dig and find out.
This one
Only use ceiling fan if room is not on the top floor with direct sunlight touching the roof of it. Ceiling fan will pull the air that's above it and push it down and if the ceiling is hot then you are making it worse not better. Same principle will apply if its instead a side wall that's getting direct sunlight (but to a lesser effect).Can simply combine AC cooling with a fan. Keep AC few degrees above preference and use fan.

Can't decide? Just touch the ceiling with your hand a few hours after peak hours (3-4pm, by then the ceiling will be hottest after absorbing the sunlight for few hours).

I have not had single issue with 3 Split units of LG. Top class service in Pune (my area). Will recommend, for the value and for the service.

I ordered the M-series Blue Star 1.5 ton 3 star split Inverter AC yesterday. I had heard great things about the LG ACs but the one in budget had lower actual tonnage/cooling capacity (4400 vs 4800/5000). Let's see how this one performs since this is replacing a 10-year-old Blue Star AC which had average performance.
