选择最佳品牌空调的提示
A few days back we published an article on tips to buy an air conditioner (link)从那以后,我们有几个要求人们要求购买空调的提示。虽然我们涵盖了与技术有关的大多数事情,但是我们没有覆盖的一件事:这是一个品牌的选择。当我们与人们讨论空调时,这一直始终出现。我们收到的最常见的陈述是“这一切都很好,但我应该买哪个品牌?”。在Bivwin德赢官网jli Bachao,我们在我们的提示和想法中是公正的一致努力,我们试图避免命名品牌。我们确保我们的建议更多地讨论技术,而不是认可特定品牌。所以我们会尽量尽可能地回答这个问题。
印度市场上有多个空调带空调,这一切都让人令人困惑地决定购买哪个品牌。虽然我们在过去发表了一篇文章,涵盖了各种品牌的空调和所提供的节能空调数量(link)。But the list is more on numbers, market share and BEE star rating. We also have a link that lists the top ten air conditioners by energy efficiency (link) but that is again only on BEE star rating. When someone decides on a brand, the decision goes beyond numbers and is equally qualitative than quantitative. Air Conditioners can contribute about 30-40% of electricity costs in a household so it is very important to make a right choice while buying one. So here is our analysis:
Air Conditioner brands that are known for their air conditioning technology
There are some brands that are known for their Air Conditioning technology. These companies have done extensive research on the subject of cooling and provide the best in class technology. Their models are energy efficient and also last longer than most air conditioners. In few of our energy audits, we have observed that models of such brands give higher efficiency even when they are quite old (obviously they need to be maintained well as well). But better technology makes them last longer and provide better efficiency.
Most such brands are expensive to buy. So the capital cost is high, but the efficiency factor makes them pay back for themselves in terms of energy savings as well as longevity. The caveat is that they may not have service centers available in smaller cities, which may make maintenance of the air conditioner a little difficult.
普通品牌进入多个设备德赢吧
有一些品牌销售了许多家用电器,并且是通用的。德赢吧它们可能不是冷却技术的专家,而是他们提供的模型高于平均水平。由于他们专注于多件事,他们的模型可能不是市场上最好的,但它们提供了非常有竞争力的定价。这些品牌的型号比具有“最佳技术”的品牌略便宜。如果使用空调不是很高,这些可能会成为金钱的价值。
许多这样的品牌具有更大的市场渗透,因此他们的存在是在该国的最偏远地区的存在。访问他们的服务很容易,因此可以进行这些模型的定期维护。其中许多品牌都有能源有效的模型,但这些品牌的寿命不会像“最佳技术”品牌一样好。但如上所述,如果使用较少,它们可能会赚钱。
廉价的品牌
There are some brands that provide cheapest models in the market. It is an observation that they hardly focus on energy efficiency and thus most of their models are low on star ratings. These brands may provide inexpensive models but the lower energy efficiency increases the electricity bills. If they use is high, they can significantly increase your electricity bills. As we discussed in one of our previous articles that it is not just the capital cost that is important while buying an appliance, it is also the operating cost that is important (linkandlink)。大多数家电德赢吧在运行期间消耗更多的资金,而不是购买,因此需要考虑的是一个因素。如果您真的用钱挑战,并且没有任何选择然后购买廉价品牌,但请注意它可以增加您的电费。
终于去寻找一个品牌也有很多情感因素,而且由于他们过去的良好体验,人们更喜欢购买品牌。这也很重要。我们上面给出的指导方针可以帮助您认同品牌,但最终是您的品牌偏好,将使您选择一个。请记住一件事是近10年来的AC随身携带,所以做出正确的选择,以识别所涉及的所有费用。
