Cost-effectiveness: Air coolers are easily affordable and are much cheaper than air conditioners. You can buy them at prices starting from Rs. 3500. Cooling is also effective during the Indian summers. The cost of operation is also lower than that of the air conditioner.
Energy-efficient : Air coolers consume up to 10 times less energy than ACs, hence minimizing the electricity bills. They can also work in low voltage areas.
Environment- friendly :Air coolers are safe and do not cause any harm to the environment as they emit very low CO2 which is toxic as compared to air conditioners. They also use fresh, clean air from the environment. You can keep windows open for better air circulation whereas ACs circulate stale air inside a closed room.
