๐Ÿ”ฅ Beat the Heat: Best Air Conditioner Buying Guide 2025 (Malaysia Edition)

Malaysiaโ€™s hot and humid weather makes a reliable air conditioner essential in every home. Whether you're cooling a bedroom, living room, or studio, the right AC will save energy, reduce bills, and keep you comfortable all year round.


๐Ÿ  Step 1: Choose the Right Horsepower (HP) for Your Room Size

Selecting the correct AC horsepower based on your room size prevents undercooling or excessive energy consumption. Here's a quick guide:

Room Size (sq ft) Recommended Horsepower (HP)
Up to 150 sq ft 1.0 HP
150 โ€“ 250 sq ft 1.5 HP
250 โ€“ 400 sq ft 2.0 HP
400+ sq ft 2.5 HP or higher

โš™๏ธ Step 2: Inverter vs Non-Inverter โ€“ Which Should You Choose?

Inverter air conditioners have become a popular choice due to their energy-saving capabilities and quiet performance. Here's how they compare:

Feature Inverter AC Non-Inverter AC
Cooling Control Adjusts power automatically Fixed speed, on/off cycles
Energy Use 30โ€“70% more efficient Consumes more electricity
Noise Quieter operation Louder on startup and shutdown
Cost Higher upfront investment Lower initial price
Savings RM150โ€“RM300 per year (avg.) Higher long-term cost

Fact: A 1.5HP inverter AC can save up to RM200 annually in electricity compared to non-inverter models. (Source)
