Air Conditioners
Possible reasons for Air Conditioner not cooling properly
We all attach a utility with every object we buy. One of the basic things we expect from an air conditioner is that it should give good cooling. Faster or slower, but it should cool well in order to get the temperatures down to comfortable levels. When it does not do so, we do not derive utility from the product and want to replace it. But these questions arise in several minds: “Why is it that my AC which was cooling well till a few months back is not cooling well

Comparison of various refrigerants (R-410A, R-22, R-32, R-290, R-134A, R-600A) used for Air Conditioners and Refrigerators
While growing up in the 1990s I used to hear a lot about CFCs (or chlorofluorocarbons) and their involvement in depletion of ozone layer. There were talks that all the refrigerants that cause environmental harm will be phased out. But as the years passed by, the thought of checking if a refrigerator or air conditioner that is being purchased has environmentally friendly refrigerant or not, vanished, as the presumption was that the CFCs have been phased out and we only
Understand Cycle time of air conditioners – frequency with which ac compressor turns off and on
The basic functions of an air conditioner are:
Maintaining the temperature to desired level.
Humidity control inside the room (De-humidification).
Proper air circulation.
The air conditioner attains the desired temperature according to the temperature set by its thermostat. The compressor in the air conditioner

Several places in Northern India experience extreme winters and summers every year. To deal with such extreme weather, most people buy both air conditioners as well as room heaters. It not only adds to the number of appliances in a house, but also significantly increases electricity bills in summers as well as winters. Air conditioners because they have a thermostat (which controls temperature) do not consume a lot of electricity as compared to room heaters, which
Desert Air Coolers better option than Air Conditioners for hot and dry places

For a long time, people in India, especially those living in hot and dry climates used to rely more
Things that impact electricity consumption in air conditioners
It’s peak summer, and one thing that worries most people is: electricity consumption by air conditioners. No wonder, while buying air conditioner, people look for the most energy efficient ones, as air conditioners can bloat the electricity bills quite easily. Although buying an efficient AC does help, there are more things that impact electricity consumption of an air conditioner while one uses it.
