Best split ACs in India in 2025

Split ACs are pretty much the norm these days. They need less space, tend to be more efficient, run quieter, and are great at cooling large spaces like offices and large bedrooms. You’re paying a small premium for them as opposed to getting a window AC, but in most cases, that trade off is worth it for the noise reduction alone.

With summer looming, now’s a great time to pick up an AC, and if you’re in the market for one, here are the best split ACs you can get:

Croma 7-in-1 Convertible 1.5-ton split AC

Our go-to recommendation for most AC buyers is this 1.5 ton split AC from Croma. At Rs 30,990 it’s cheaper than many similar options but still offers a 3-star BEE energy efficiency rating and excellent build quality. The AC uses a copper condenser, comes with a 10-year compressor warranty, and includes features like autoclean, self diagnosis, and more. Power consumption is rated at 1,575W and cooling capacity at 4,800W.

LG 6-in-1 Convertible 1.5 ton dual-inverter split AC

If the AC is meant to be running continuously for long durations, we’d recommend paying a premium for a more energy efficient model like this 1.5-ton model from LG. It retails at Rs 45,990 but offers a BEE 5-star rating for significant long-term energy savings. This it achieves with a more efficient dual-inverter design, which brings power consumption down to a mere 745W.

Daikin Standard Series 0.8 ton split AC

For smaller rooms, go for the Daikin Standard Series 0.8 ton split AC. It’s a compact, BEE 3-star rated AC that’ll work great in rooms up to 90 sq ft in size. Power consumption stands at 709W and it uses technologies like Coanda flow and automatic fan control to ensure effective circulation and that temperature is maintained. Other features include a child lock, backlit remote control, and even a dry mode function that significantly reduces humidity.
