As soon as summer starts, the demand for ACs, coolers and fans increases. To avoid the heat web that runs across North India, it becomes our compulsion to install AC in our homes. If you are also thinking of installing a new AC this year, then you should keep some things in mind. There are two types of ACs available in India, window and split, which you install in your homes as per your convenience. Be it window or split AC, their capacity is measured in tons.
Whenever you searched for AC online or offline, you would have got the option of 1 ton, 1.5 ton or 2 ton or more AC. Most of the people do not have much knowledge about the capacity of AC i.e. ton and they install wrong capacity AC in their house, due to which they either have to pay higher electricity bill or their room gets completely burnt. Can’t cool down. Come, let us know what is the mathematics of ton in AC?
What is the mathematics of ton in AC?
1 ton is generally considered to be 1 thousand kg. But this does not mean that the weight of a 1 ton AC will be 1 thousand kilograms. This means how much this AC can cool you room or office. A 1 ton AC can cool 1 ton of air present in the house. As the capacity increases, it will be able to cool more areas.
For example, if you have installed a 1.5 ton or 2 ton AC in your child’s room, then it can also store the stuff kept in the room. At the same time, if you install a 1 ton AC in a big room, you will not get adequate cooling and the room will not be cool. In such a situation, you should buy AC according to the size of your room. For a big hall or room, you will have to install 1.5 or 2 ton AC or you can install two or more 1 ton ACs. At the same time, for small rooms you can install 1 ton or 0.5 ton AC.
How much will the bill be?
The more capacity the AC you install in your house, the more power it will consume. In such a situation, before installing AC in the house, its power consumption rating i.e. star rating as well as capacity i.e. ton will have to be kept in mind. A 1 ton AC with 2 star or less rating consumes 1.5 kWh of power. An AC with a higher star rating will consume less electricity. In such a situation, a common AC can consume up to 540 units of electricity in a whole month.
