BUYING GUIDE
INDORA INDIA / BUY RIGHT
WHY THIS GUIDE EXISTS

BUY RIGHT.
COOL BETTER.

Most people buy an air cooler based on price and fan size alone, then find it underperforms.

The cooler was rarely the problem — the match between the cooler and the room was.

WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS
STEP 01 ROOM SIZE / AIR DELIVERY

MEASURE YOUR ROOM

Air delivery requirement depends on room volume, not just floor area. Choose the right cooler for maximum comfort.

OR SEMI-OPEN

Larger spaces require higher air delivery

RECOMMENDED High-capacity desert or

RULE OF THUMB

A cooler rated for a smaller area will run constantly and still underperform. Slightly oversizing is safer than undersizing.

COOL COMFORT FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
STEP 02 CLIMATE / EVAPORATIVE COOLING

UNDERSTAND YOUR CLIMATE

Climate Matters
For Better Cooling
RIGHT CLIMATE BRIGHTER DAYS

Air coolers work by evaporation. They perform best in dry heat and less well in high humidity.

CLIMATE 01
BEST CONDITIONS
Air cooler working in dry climate

Dry climate

(Delhi NCR, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, most of North and Central India in peak summer) → An air cooler performs very well and is far more economical than an AC.

COOLING PERFORMANCE An air cooler performs very well.
CLIMATE 02
VENTILATION MATTERS
Air cooler working in humid climate

Humid climate

(coastal areas, monsoon months) → Cooling effect is reduced. Good ventilation becomes essential.

WHAT TO REMEMBER Good ventilation becomes essential.

We would rather tell you this upfront than have you buy the wrong product.

SMART CHOICES COOLER DAYS AHEAD
STEP 03 CLIMATE / VENTILATION

VENTILATION IS NOT OPTIONAL

Fresh Air In,
Better Cooling Out
OPEN WINDOWS BRIGHTER COMFORT

This is the single most common mistake.

An air cooler needs an open window or door to push humid air out. In a fully sealed room, cooling drops sharply within an hour.

Keep a window partially open.

It feels counter-intuitive, but it is how the technology works.

STEP 04 TANK CAPACITY / REFILL FREQUENCY

CHOOSE YOUR TANK CAPACITY

Larger tank = longer running time between refills,
but also more weight and floor space.

SMALL TANK

Small tank

Suitable if you are nearby
and refilling is easy.

Better for long continuous

BIGGER CAPACITY COOLER POSSIBILITIES
STEP 05 / AIR DELIVERY (CMH)

CHECK AIR DELIVERY (CMH)

Higher CMH means more air circulated,
which matters most in larger rooms.

UNDERSTANDING CMH

Cubic metres
per hour.

CMH means cubic metres per hour of air moved. Higher CMH means more air circulated, which matters most in larger rooms.

MORE AIRFLOW

LARGER ROOM

Higher CMH

More air circulation matters more
as room size increases.

IDEAL FOR LIVING ROOMS / HALLS / SHOPS

STEP 06 / COOLING PADS

CHOOSE YOUR COOLING PADS

Honeycomb pads cool more efficiently,
while wood wool keeps replacement
costs lower.

Honeycomb pads generally offer better cooling efficiency and last longer than traditional wood wool pads, but need periodic cleaning. Wood wool pads cost less and are easy to replace.

STEP 07 / POWER / ELECTRICITY

CHECK POWER CONSUMPTION

Compare wattage carefully — electricity use
becomes a major cost over a long summer.

Air coolers typically consume a fraction of the electricity an air conditioner uses. For most Indian households running through a long summer, this is the single biggest cost advantage. Check the wattage on the specification sheet and compare.
