Central AC Cost Formula:
From: | To: |
This calculator estimates the approximate cost of central air conditioning systems in India based on cooling capacity (tons), converted to USD for broader applicability.
The calculator uses a simplified formula:
Where:
Note: This is a rough estimate. Actual costs may vary based on brand, installation complexity, and additional features.
Details: Correctly sizing your AC system is crucial for energy efficiency and comfort. Oversized units cycle on/off too frequently, while undersized units run continuously without proper cooling.
Tips: Enter the required cooling capacity in tons. Typically, you need about 1 ton per 400-600 square feet, depending on insulation and climate.
Q1: How accurate is this estimate?
A: This provides a ballpark figure. Actual prices vary by 20-30% based on brand, SEER rating, and installation factors.
Q2: What's included in this cost estimate?
A: This covers the basic equipment cost. Installation, ductwork, and electrical work may add 30-50% to the total cost.
Q3: How do I determine the right tonnage for my space?
A: A professional load calculation is best, but roughly 1 ton per 400-600 sq ft for moderate climates.
Q4: Why is the cost in USD when it's for India?
A: We provide USD conversion for international comparison. Multiply by ~75 for approximate INR value.
Q5: What affects AC pricing the most?
A: Key factors are brand reputation, energy efficiency rating (ISEER), inverter technology, and smart features.
