The heat in India has now become more intense and dangerous than ever before. These days the temperature in many cities is reaching 45-50 degrees Celsius. Keeping the house cool in such extreme heat (heatwave) has become very important for health. But the question is whether cooler or AC is better?<\/p>\n

Both provide cooling, but there is a lot of difference between the two in terms of health, electricity bill and comfort. According to doctors and experts, the right choice depends on the season, your health and budget.<\/p>\n

Benefits of cooler<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maintains moisture:<\/strong> Coolers provide cooling by evaporation of water, which maintains moisture in the air. This does not dry the throat, skin and eyes.<\/p>\n

Cheap and low power consumption:<\/strong> The cooler consumes much less electricity than the AC.<\/p>\n

Fresh air:<\/strong> With good ventilation the cooler brings outside air in.<\/p>\n

Coolers are more comfortable in areas with dry air (like Delhi, Rajasthan, North India).<\/p>\n

Disadvantages of cooler <\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fungus and bacteria can increase due to excess moisture.<\/li>\n
  2. Do not work in humid weather.<\/li>\n
  3. If not cleaned, respiratory diseases can increase.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Benefits of AC<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Rapid cooling and moisture reduction:<\/strong> Along with cooling the air, AC also reduces humidity. This reduces the risk of heat stroke, dehydration and fatigue.<\/p>\n

    Better for the sick and weak<\/strong>: AC is considered safer for the elderly, children, heart patients and people with diabetes.<\/p>\n

    Dust and allergy control:<\/strong> ACs with good filters keep the air clean.<\/p>\n

    Disadvantages of AC <\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The air becomes very dry, which can cause sore throat, cough and skin problems.<\/li>\n
    2. Being too cold (18-20\u00b0C) can cause sudden shock to the body.<\/li>\n
    3. Electricity bill is very high.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
