The efficiency of the air conditioner is measured in EER (energy efficiency rating). In simple terms, it is the ratio of cooling power (commonly known as tonnage) to the input power consumed. Tonnage is a measure used to identify the cooling capacity of an AC as per size and demand of the room.

Which AC technology your air conditioner is using.

Inverter AC

In an Air Conditioner with Inverter Technology, the inverter technology works like an accelerator in a car. When compressor needs more power, it gives it more power. When it needs less power, it gives less power. With this technology, the compressor is always on but draws less power.
