About us

I have been involved in the world of HVAC for over 15 years, with a focus on testing and evaluating inverter split air conditioners in various climate conditions. My journey started as a certified HVAC tech, where I saw first hand how the right air conditioning system can make all the difference in comfort levels and the wrong one can lead to skyrocketing energy bills and constant maintenance headaches. This is what inspired me to create this platform, where I combine technical expertise with real world testing to provide unbiased, in-depth reviews of the top inverter split AC models.

My team and I are independent from manufacturers, we purchase every unit we test with our own money and sometimes our team test the product in their friends and family member home to ensure our reviews are free from any external influence.

We test each air conditioner under rigorous performance testing across multiple metrics, including energy efficiency, cooling capacity, noise levels and long term reliability. Our testing facility is located in Chennai, Mumbai and is one of the most demanding climates in the India, we also have satellite testing locations in humid subtropical climates to ensure our recommendations apply to various environmental needs.

The inverter AC market has become more complex with new technologies and efficiency improvements every year. I’ve made it my mission to break down these advancements, to translate technical specifications into practical information that helps homeowners and small business owners make informed decisions. Our testing process takes 3-6 months per unit, so we can assess not just immediate performance but also durability and consistency over time.

OUR TESTING PROCESS

Most of the inverter split AC unit that arrives at our facility or some ac who test on behalf of ourself outside from our our facility unit that goes through the same comprehensive testing process, designed to replicate real-world usage while being scientific.

Our approach combines quantitative measurements with qualitative assessments to give a complete picture of performance.

Our Testing Components:

• Energy Efficiency Analysis – Detailed power consumption measurements across various operating conditions
• Cooling Performance – Temperature reduction capabilities in standardized room sizes with controlled heat loads
• Noise Level Assessment – Sound measurements taken at multiple distances and operating speeds
• Installation Complexity – Practical evaluation of mounting requirements and connectivity options
• Smart Feature Evaluation – Testing of connectivity, app functionality and integration with home systems
• Long term Reliability – Extended operation under stress conditions to identify potential failure points

We use professional grade equipment for all measurements, including NIST calibrated thermometers, precision power meters and laboratory quality sound level meters. Our testing protocols have been developed in consultation with HVAC engineers and conform to industry standards while also incorporating our own practical experience.

I am personally involved in every test, to ensure consistency across tests and our objectivity standards are met. Manufacturers often showcase the best case scenarios, we deliberately test under challenging conditions to see how the units perform when pushed to the limit – something very useful for consumers in extreme climate areas.

WHY OUR REVIEWS ARE DIFFERENT

In a world full of shallow reviews and affiliate-driven recommendations, I’ve decided to create content that serves the reader’s interests rather than our bottom line. This means several key differences in our approach from other review sites.

Our Differentiators:

• Longer Testing Periods – No “unboxing reviews” here; we live with each unit for months
• Region-Specific Recommendations – Advice tailored to your climate
• Cost-of-Ownership Analysis – Energy usage and maintenance costs included
• Accessibility Focus – Noise levels, control simplicity and maintenance accessibility evaluated
• Independence Guarantee – No manufacturer sponsorships or free review units accepted
• Technical Depth – Inverter technology and efficiency ratings explored in detail

While many review sites focus on new features or looks, I concentrate on the practical aspects that matter for day-to-day satisfaction with an air conditioning system.

Having personally experienced the frustration of buying underperforming split AC unit, I know the importance of getting it right the first time.

My engineering background allows me to evaluate the technical claims made by manufacturers, testing performance specs independently. When a manufacturer claims a certain ISEER rating or cooling capacity, we test those numbers in controlled conditions to see if they hold up. This has sometimes put us at odds with industry players, but I remain committed to honest, unvarnished reviews that serve the consumer.

HOW WE CHOOSE WHAT TO REVIEW

I choose units for review based on market relevance, technological innovation and reader input, always prioritizing models that represent significant value propositions or tech advancements in the inverter split AC space.

Selection Criteria:

• Market Impact – Units with high market share or rapid adoption
• Technology – Models with new efficiency or control innovations
• Price-Performance – Systems that offer great value at different price points
• Reader Requests – Direct input from our community influences our testing queue
• Energy Efficiency Claims – Units that make significant performance claims
• Regional Availability – Models available to our North American and European readers

Our testing schedule is quarterly, so we can review both premium flagships and more affordable options that might be more suitable for budget-conscious consumers.

I choose units that represent different market segments, so our coverage stays relevant to readers with different needs and budgets.

Unlike other review sites, we revisit models for long-term reliability testing, publishing follow-up reviews after 12-24 months of operation. This has revealed some interesting trends in durability that aren’t apparent in initial testing, and helps us make more informed recommendations so you can invest in a system that will serve you well for years to come.

Please let me know what you’d like to see reviewed in the future and I’ll do my best to be transparent about our selection process. Your needs and input shape our testing priorities as we build the most comprehensive inverter split AC reviews resource online.
