Why Smart ACs Are Being Called the Future of Sustainable Cooling

With merciless summer heat waves every now and then, air conditioners have now pivoted from being a luxury to a necessity appliance in households where shopping even in the affluent nation of India seems to be uneconomical.

With the ever rising concerns for climate change and environmental conservation, and the need for coolers persists, there is now greater focus on energy saving technologies for cooling.. 

These technologies not only provide home cooling but also aid in expending lesser energy and resources, enter Smart ACs.

Join me as we explore why smart ACs, particularly the next-gen Hexa Inverter AC, are rapidly gaining popularity as a sustainable cooling solution in India.

Understanding Smart ACs: What Makes Them “Smart”?

First things first, what even makes an air conditioner smart? Simply put, smart ACs are traditional air conditioners with a brain. They come equipped with sensors, Wi-Fi, app control, voice assistant integration (like Alexa and Google Assistant), and AI-based automation.

With a smart AC, you can:

  1. Control your cooling remotely via mobile apps.
  2. Set automatic schedules and temperature profiles.
  3. Integrate with smart home ecosystems.
  4. Monitor power usage in real-time.
  5. Get maintenance alerts and diagnostics.

Now compare this with the old-school “press-the-button-and-pray-it-works” kind of cooling. The difference is massive not just in comfort, but in how responsibly you’re consuming energy.

The Sustainability Angle: Why Smart ACs Matter for the Planet

The environmental impact of traditional air conditioners is alarming. They contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and are among the most power-hungry appliances in homes and offices.

Smart ACs tackle this in three key ways:

1. Energy Efficiency

With a 5-star rating and a high ISEER value of 5.05, it slashes energy consumption by up to 65% compared to conventional models. That’s serious savings on your electricity bill and a huge cut in your carbon footprint.

2. Inverter Technology

Inverter compressors adjust their speed based on cooling needs instead of switching on and off constantly. This results in less power usage, faster cooling, and longer compressor life.

3. Smart Scheduling

The ability to schedule cooling periods, say, cooling the room just before bedtime and turning off automatically after is both convenient and eco-friendly. You avoid overcooling and unnecessary power usage.

Real-World Benefits of Smart ACs in Indian Homes

Let’s make this practical. Imagine you live in Mumbai. It’s 40°C outside, you’re stuck in traffic, and all you want is to walk into a cool home. With a smart AC, you just open your Hai Smart App and switch it on 15 minutes before reaching home.

But it’s not just about convenience. It’s about lifestyle upgrades:

  1. Voice Control: Too lazy to get the remote? Just say, “Alexa, turn on the AC.”
  2. Child & Elder Safety: No need to fumble with remotes, control everything from your phone.
  3. Usage Insights: Know exactly how much energy you’re using and where you can save.

Health, Hygiene & Smart Cleaning: The Added Bonus

Traditional ACs are breeding grounds for dust, allergens, and bacteria. Smart ACs bring a whole new layer of health-conscious innovation:

  1. Frost Self Clean Function: Just hit a button and your indoor unit goes through a full wet wash cycle in 21 minutes, removing dust, mould, and odour.
  2. 99.9% Clean Air: Yes, you read that right. Your AC not only cools but purifies.

In a post-COVID world where indoor air quality is a priority, these features are game-changers.

Another reason why smart ACs are winning the game is their performance. The new models offer Supersonic Cooling in just 10 seconds, thanks to KTS & PKC technologies. Whether it’s peak summer or a humid monsoon evening, you don’t have to wait to feel the chill.

Also, with a 20-metre long air flow, you get consistent cooling even in large rooms. That’s especially useful in Indian homes with high ceilings or bigger living spaces.

Why Smart ACs Are the Future: In Summary

Here’s why the entire industry is moving in this direction:

  1. Eco-Friendly: Cuts energy consumption and reduces greenhouse gases.
  2. Intelligent: Learns your preferences and optimises performance.
  3. Connected: Seamlessly integrates with smartphones and smart homes.
  4. Health-Conscious: Offers air purification and anti-bacterial features.
  5. Cost-Effective: Saves money on electricity bills and repairs.
