The Company’s latest TV commercial featuring Virat Kohli is curated around the thought of ‘Happiness is a fast-cooling AC.’
  • The Company has an expansive manufacturing footprint and is further setting up a new state-of-the-art, highly automated, manufacturing facility at Sri City. Besides, the Company’s R&D facility is one of the best facilities in India, and is equipped with an AHRI-certified testing lab.

The range comprises 3-star, 4-star, and 5-star inverter split air conditioners that are available at attractive prices starting from Rs 30,990. The ACs are available in various cooling capacities ranging from 0.8 TR to 2TR. So everyone can now bring home affordable, high-quality and efficient cooling with Blue Star’s ACs!

The range is embedded with various customer-friendly features and specifications such as‘Turbo Cool’ for fast cooling; ‘Fix & Lock’‘for convertible 5 in 1 cooling; Nano Blue Protect Technology and Hydrophilic ‘Blue Fin’ coating,for both IDUs and ODUs, to preventcoil corrosionand leakage,and for longer life, respectively; ‘Eco-Mode’ for energy-saving; ‘Comfort Sleep’ function that auto-adjusts the AC temperature during night time for better comfort of occupants as well as for power saving; 4-way swing for uniformity; and ‘Self-Diagnosis’ for easy troubleshooting. Besides, these ACs have a metal enclosure for their PCBs to ensure additional safety.

Another important aspect of Blue Star’s inverter ACs is that they have a wide operating voltage range, thus eliminating the need for an external voltage stabiliser. While this results in savings on the cost of the stabiliser, it also does away with the need for space to mount one beside the AC.

The entire inverter range uses R-32 eco-friendly refrigerant.

Fast-Cooling ACs

Blue Star offers a range of ‘Fast-Cooling’ ACs. India being a tropical country is subjected to extreme summers. The urban heat phenomenon further increases the temperature in urban areas. While a typical air conditioner delivers its rated capacity at 35°C and derates at higher ambient temperatures, Blue Star offers ACs which can deliver 100% cooling even beyond 35°C for up to 43°C, resulting in faster and more efficient cooling even in peak summers. Happiness is indeed a fast cooling AC!

Heavy-Duty ACs

The Company has made available a range of top-of-the-line ‘Heavy-Duty’ ACs which are extremely powerful, and can deliver 100% cooling beyond 43°C for up to 55°C. Available in the 1.7TR capacity and expandable upto 2 TR, these 3-star ACs with an ISEER of 3.99, the highest in the category, are apt for Northern India, and some parts of Western and Southern India, where summers are extreme and require extremely powerful cooling.

Super Energy-Efficient ACs

The Company offers super energy-efficient 5-star inverter split ACs with an ISEER of 5.41, which are 55% more energy-efficient compared to 3-star inverter split ACs. These are apt for applications where the AC usage is very high, especially with the emerging trend of work from home.

Future-ready ACs

Most of the 3-star inverter range of Blue Star is future-ready which means that it meets the new energy-efficiency norms of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency that will come into effect from July 2022. This ensures that these are 10% more energy-efficient as compared to the current 3-star norms, maximizing power savings for consumers.

Smart ACs

Blue Star offers a range of Smart ACs with WiFi connect and Voice Command Technology, which can be integrated with other smart devices such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home. A simple voice command, like “Alexa, Switch on the AC” can turn the air conditioner “ON,” without any use of the remote or smart phones. These ACs are embedded with smartpersonalisation and controls such as: a Scheduler to schedule your preferred time; the ability to control your AC from anywhere, from your office or any remote location; ‘Over the air updates’ to always remain in sync with the latest software improvements; Seamless integration of service to provide efficient cooling using self-diagnostics and alerts; and smart budget management; amongst others. So one can enjoy smart cooling with Blue Star’s smart ACs!

Further, all Blue Star inverter ACs are Smart Ready and can be upgraded to Smart ACs by the addition of a separate smart module.

As an expert in cooling, and as a 78-year old brand that is ‘Built on Trust’ of its customers, Blue Star’s air conditioners are well known for their quality, reliability, and durability, as well as the gold standard after-sales service.
