Bengalis are in dire condition in summer. Lumpy condition due to intense heat. And AC is the only hope to save from this situation. Be it office or your own home, it is difficult to spend this summer without AC. So, if you can get an AC from the store as soon as possible, it’s better! A new AC was brought from the shop. Buy by looking at brand and star rating. But bring it home and continue for a few days! The new AC stopped running! What is the matter?

When we go to the store we are blessed to find only brands and star ratings. Don’t even bother with the ‘condenser coil’ after the salesman’s sweet words. And this is where I make a big mistake. There are basically two types of AC coils available in the market – copper and aluminum. Let’s find out who performed well in summer.

1. Fighting to cool down: Copper coils are way ahead in the race for cooling the house. Its thermal conductivity is excellent. As a result, the room cools down at the push of a button. Aluminum, on the other hand, takes quite a bit longer.

2. Durability and Lifespan: Copper coils are very strong. Years passed by. But aluminum is a very soft metal. As a result there is a risk of leaking or spoiling at the slightest pressure. But this is the villain of the sudden AC shutdown in the middle of summer.

3. Repair Hapa: If the copper coil leaks, gas welding can be done at little cost. But if the aluminum coil is damaged, it is impossible to repair. The entire coil has to be replaced, which is quite a burden on the pocket.

4. Price and Weight: In the beginning, the price of copper coil AC is a little higher. Copper is also quite heavy in weight. Compared to that, aluminum coil is lighter in weight and also cheaper in price.

So which side to lean?

If pocket strength is low, aluminum may be viable for temporary use or rental housing. But for long-lasting comfort and peace of mind, there is no substitute for copper coils. If you go home and buy cheap aluminum coils to save a little money, it can cost twice as much to repair in midsummer. So before buying Sadher AC look at the coil. If you make the wrong decision, but the AC will only give air, not cold!
