Are air conditioners expensive to run? Yes! Most of the air conditioners in the market have their power consumption, even in half load, in the range of 500W to 900W. It is still almost three times the power consumption of an air cooler, running at its full capacity. Installing an air conditioner means a minimum increase of 500 Rupees in your monthly power bill. How much you use and how much you use will decide how much more it will increase.

You can reduce the power consumption of your new air conditioner by using it smartly. An inverter air conditioner runs at full capacity at the start to reach the set temperate. Once it has achieved the set cooling level, then it minimizes its operation just to maintain the cooling level. Therefore, you shouldn’t be running your inverter air conditioner many times a day.

Which is the best air conditioner in India under 50000 Rupees? In this piece, we cover the best air conditioners in the 40000 to 50000 Rupees price range. Here you read about the best-selling air conditioner models of top ac brands in the Indian market Samsung, LG, Carrier, Whirlpool, Godrej, Hitachi, and others.

☼ 1.5-Ton 5-Star Panasonic NU18YKY5W Inverter Smart AC

With the Panasonic NU18YKY5W model, you'll receive a smart AC, an inverter AC, and a highly energy-efficient AC. Its cooling capacity is 1.5 tons. In comparison, this 5-star air conditioner uses the same amount of electricity as a 3-star air conditioner that weighs 1 ton. The AC also features copper coils that ensure long-lasting durability and comes with a 10-year compressor warranty.

This Panasonic AC comes equipped with several advanced features. First of all, it has twin inverter compressors. That very attribute makes it capable of maintaining optimal cooling in rooms up to 225 sq-ft, despite being adequately sized for 180 sq-ft.

Further, it has Wi-Fi connectivity that allows users to remotely control the temperature and switch on/off the device from their smartphones.

The AC is convertible and supports 7-in-1 modes. When you repeatedly press the mode button on the remote seven times, the AC will work at 40% capacity, and consume electricity accordingly. Press the mode button two times to make the air conditioner work at 100% capacity. Then there is an AI mode, which calculates heat in the room, and the temperature outside — sets a perfect temperature. The AI mode, an advanced feature, uses machine learning to learn and optimize energy consumption based on your preferences.

► 2.0-Ton 3-Star IFB IACI24SA3G3C Inverter AC

IFB is a more favorable brand for washing machines than for air conditioners. Although the fact is its air conditioners are as impressive as its washing machines are. That is why we recommend the IFB IACI24SA3G3C air conditioner model to those who need a 2-Ton ac to cool a large space, such as the main hall, showroom, and superstores. This IFB 2-Ton AC will maintain even cooling in an area as big as 200 to 250 sq ft.

IFB IACI24SA3G3C 2 Ton 3 Star Twin Inverter AC

The features that make the IFB IACI24SA3G3C AC model a valuable option and justify its current market price are its twin inverter compressor, up to 10 years warranty commitment by the brand, 3-star power rating, 7-stage air purification system, air-cooled PCB, and fireproof electronic control box.

  Air Conditioners under ₹35000

The IFB AC cools fast, maintains even cooling throughout its working cycle, makes less indoor noise, and consumes less power as well. Since it has an inverter compressor, it will put less pressure on its attached components, and that will significantly reduce the maintenance cost, which is often a major issue for air conditioners.

► 2.0-Ton 5-Star Carrier Ester Neo-i Inverter AC

Air conditioners with either dual or triple inverter technology are required for instant comfortable cooing in a large space. The Carrier inverter AC does not fit the requirement, though. Because it neither has dual inverter technology nor triple inverter technology.

Then why it is suggested here and recommended as a perfect ac for up to 220 sq-ft room? Because it is a Carrier brand air conditioner. Its outdoor unit is HybridJet not conventional. Those who bought this Carrier Neo-i 2-Ton air conditioner have recommended it to others without any IF and BUT.

  Air Conditioners under ₹30000

The Carrier AC is an excellent choice for up to 220 sq ft rooms. It will not consume too much power since its energy efficiency rating is 5-Star 2020. Moreover, a voltage stabilizer for 2-Ton AC is not required for this Carrier inverter AC if the input power voltage in the user’s home is above 150V most of the time.
