Inmetro publishes the 10 most economical air conditioning models

Summer has arrived with everything, and everyone starts dreaming of an air conditioning unit at home. However, what stops most is the idea that such equipment can cost a lot in electricity. Taking this into account, Inmetro created a list of models of air conditioning most economical on the market; check the criteria below.

How do we define an economical device?

Inmetro used two criteria to define which air conditioner is actually cheap, the first being the level of energy consumption. This criterion is very well known to all consumers and concerns how much the device directly impacts the energy consumption of the residence. Therefore, it is defined which device uses less electricity to function.

Shortly thereafter, the Seasonal Cooling Performance Index, or IDRS, criterion is also used. In this case, the efficiency of the devices is evaluated and the quality of the product is classified. It is worth remembering that appliances with this level of quality receive the “A” seal from Inmetro, precisely because they are able to better fulfill the cooling function in an economical way.

Thus, all devices that are on Inmetro's list of the most economical devices are those that achieved the "A" seal. For those looking to install an air conditioner at home, this seal is a way to identify when the product will be able to satisfy you and help you save. Therefore, this is the most important criterion in the evaluation of economy.
