The government has set some new standards for AC remotes. According to this, the cooling of AC anywhere in the car, home and office should be between 20 to 28. The government’s objective behind setting these standards is to save energy and protect the environment.
2. Will the old remote not work?:
No, the old remote will still work. But the new remote will have some additional features that will help save energy.
3. Is it necessary to buy a new remote? :
No, it is not necessary to buy a new remote. You can continue using your old remote. But if you want new features, you can buy a new remote.
4. When will these rules come into effect? :
These rules will come into effect soon. The government has not yet announced the date, but it is expected that these rules will come into effect in the next few months. Let us tell you that before finalizing this rule, the government has also conducted a public survey, in which the public has been asked what is the most suitable AC temperature for them.
5. Will any device have to be installed in old ACs?:
No, the government has not issued any such advisory. Currently, the government has fixed the cooling limit, but no advisory has been issued yet on how the new rules will be implemented or whether any new device will have to be installed in old ACs.
What will happen if the old AC is operated above or below the standard? What kind of action the government can take for non-compliance with the rules has not been disclosed yet. Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has only given information in his announcement that a new provision regarding air conditioning standards will be implemented soon. Details about this are yet to come.
