Energy star rating: what you need to know?
When you intend to purchase an AC for your home do you need a 5 star rated ac or a 3 star rated? Is paying nearly 15% premium over the 3 star rated one justifiable?
So I went on a research and found out, unless you plan to use an ac for the entire day or for more than 8hours in a day then buying a 5 star makes a huge sense else you can be happy with a 3 star rated one.
A fan, a refrigerator and similar products which are used for longer hours of a day would require a 5 star EEf rated appliances as it would reduce your power bills by a considerable margin.
