DIY — AC fundamentals
Healthy air conditioners for a sustainable future
Terms worth knowing before you spec, buy, or audit an AC: COP is cooling output over electrical input at one rated condition; ISEER is India's seasonal efficiency ratio, averaged over a full cooling season — and the basis of every BEE star label.
Star ratings run 1 to 5 — higher stars mean higher ISEER and lower running cost for the same duty. Refrigerant choice (R32, R410A, and the older R22 being phased down) drives both efficiency and environmental footprint.

Tool
Cooling coil calculator
First-order estimates of the refrigerant suction/discharge pressure (from the saturated temperature you enter) or the water-side pressure drop (from flow, circuiting and water temperature). Geometry and fin/tube choices refine the water-side and face-velocity estimates — they do not replace a manufacturer coil rating.
Airflow auto-adjusts from the design coil velocity and the free-flow area, so it changes when the tube pitch, fins or tube size change. Edit the airflow field to override.

Tool
Energy savings estimator
Indicative estimate only, using capacity(kW) = tons × 3.517 and input power = capacity ÷ ISEER per BEE's seasonal methodology. A certified energy audit is recommended before sizing an investment decision.
Tool
Heat load calculator
Indicative estimate only. A detailed heat load calculation by an HVAC professional is recommended before final sizing and investment decision.
Air quality
Outdoor AQI sets the floor for indoor air
Every air conditioner draws its air from somewhere. When the outdoor AQI climbs, a system pulling in unfiltered fresh air (or a room with a leaky envelope) drags that pollution indoors with it — this is why filtration grade and fresh-air ratio matter as much as tonnage in a proper HVAC design.
- PM2.5 & PM10 — fine and coarse particulates; the WHO annual guideline for PM2.5 is 5 µg/m³, a level most Indian metros exceed year-round.
- CO₂ & ventilation rate — indoor CO₂ climbing past ~1000 ppm signals a room isn't getting enough fresh-air exchange (ACH) for its occupancy.
- Filtration grade — a MERV-13 or HEPA stage in the air handling path meaningfully cuts indoor PM2.5, at a fan-power and pressure-drop cost we help size for.

Tool
Fault diagnostics
A symptom-led starting point, not a substitute for a technician once refrigerant, electrical, or the compressor are in question — those checks need gauges, training, and (for refrigerant) an F-gas certification.

Tool
Check — Gas Charging needed
The quickest field check for low charge: measure the air temperature going into the indoor unit (return) and coming out of it (supply) with a thermometer at the grille and at the nearest register, a few minutes after startup.
Normal split is roughly 8–12°C (14–22°F) at typical indoor conditions (~24–27°C return, ~50% RH) — consistent with a split AC's design evaporating temperature of 4–7°C. Hotter/more humid return air, low outdoor temperature, or a heat-pump defrost cycle can shift the expected split, so treat a borderline reading as a prompt to look further, not a verdict.
