Star iseer
3 Star vs 5 Star Daikin AC — is the price difference worth it?
Go 5-star if the budget allows it. At the same 1.5 Ton size, it saves you about ₹15,390 in electricity over 5 years compared to 3-star — often enough on its own to cover a meaningful chunk of the higher upfront price. The only real case for 3-star is if your usage is light enough that the electricity savings genuinely wouldn't catch up to a bigger price gap.

Star rating reflects ISEER — the seasonal cooling delivered per unit of electricity. A higher star rating always means a lower running cost at the same tonnage; the only real question is whether the extra upfront price pays back fast enough for your usage pattern.
