18 1 ton ACs in our catalogue carry a 5-star BEE label, from 12 brands: Hitachi, Blue Star, Carrier, Daikin, Godrej, Haier, LG, Lloyd and others. Prices run ₹34,834 to ₹49,050.

A 5-star unit costs more to buy and less to run. The gap pays back fastest in hot cities where the AC runs 8+ hours a day for most of the year; for a bedroom used a few summer nights, a 3-star is usually the better buy.

Our top-scoring 1 ton 5-star AC is the Hitachi 1 Ton 5 Star Yoshi Inverter Split AC RAS.V512PCDIST at ₹39,990; the cheapest is the Voltas 1 Ton 5 Star Inverter Split AC 2026 at ₹34,834. Prices are the brand's own store price when we checked; street prices on Amazon and Flipkart often run lower, so use these to compare models, not as the final price.
