Are 5 Star ACs Really Cost Effective?

Are 5 Star ACs Really Cost Effective? || bekifaayati #youtubepartner #shorts #youtubeshorts

The 5-star ACs are more energy-efficient than a 3-star AC unit. The electricity consumption of a 5-star AC (1.5 tons) is approximately 1.5 units per hour, whereas a 3-star AC (1.5 tons) consumes 1.6 units every hour.

Assuming the Average Life of AC to be 10 years, it would only make sense to buy the 5 star AC if the upfront cost between 5 star and 3 star is less than 7000.

However if you stay in relatively cooler places like Himachal, Sikkim, Shillong, etc where the need for AC isn't too long. It won't make sense to opt for a 5 Star AC (strictly from cost point of view).
