About

Thanda Garam Ghar is an independent information site about the cost of cooling and hot water in Indian homes: buying a split, window or inverter air conditioner, a geyser or a heat-pump water heater, getting it installed, running it, servicing it and resolving disputes.

The site is for households, tenants and small offices who want to understand a quotation, an installation bill or an electricity bill before they pay. Guides explain how prices are built up, how to read the BEE star label, how GST and tariff slabs affect the total, what AMC contracts cover, and the official complaint routes.

All rupee figures are illustrative examples chosen to show arithmetic, not market rates, quotes or tariffs. We do not rate, rank or recommend brands, dealers or installers, and we do not sell appliances. Rules such as GST rates, BEE star tables and state tariffs change; each guide names the official source to check. The site does not replace advice from a licensed electrician, a qualified technician or an advocate.
