5 best AC stabilisers for home use in 2024

Most air conditioners today come with integrated stabilisers and resilient circuits that are designed to handle a wide range of loads. However, given the state of power delivery in many parts of the country, these circuits can and do fail, leading to large repair bills and a lot of inconvenience. 

AC stabilisers alleviate most of these issues by being more robust than integrated solutions, and when they do fail, a replacement or repair is not going to be nearly as expensive as a replacement AC. Time to take a look at the best stabilisers you can buy for your AC.

4. Everest EW 5 KVA DELUXE

5. V-GUARD VG 150

1. V-GUARD VG 400

There’s also an intelligent time delay system that allows time for the power to stabilise after a power surge or fluctuation. This is a good choice for most cities as voltages will rarely fluctuate outside of that range.

2. V-GUARD Arizor 4150

Designed for higher loads and even greater fluctuation, we’d recommend the V-Guard Arizor 4150 for areas with severe blackouts, brownouts, or places suffering from frequent power spikes.

This stabiliser can handle 12 Amps and the load of a 1.5 ton AC and a voltage range of 150-280V volts. It is more capable than a regular stabiliser, but is also more expensive for that reason.

3. Premier Slimline Double Boost 4KVA

The Premier Slimline Double Boost 4KVA is an immensely capable stabiliser that can handle anything from 145V to 270V of fluctuation, ensuring that your AC gets a steady and stable flow of electricity. It even has a fan to keep things cool while it’s cleaning up your power.

It’s a safe and reliable stabiliser and comes with an impressive 5-year warranty that does wonders for ones peace of mind. This 4KVA model can handle 1.5 ton ACs and 12 Amps of current.

4. Everest EW 5 KVA DELUXE

For larger ACs, we’d recommend the Everest EW 5 KVA Deluxe. It can handle 2 ton ACs and has a working range of 170-270V. It has a 10 Amp capacity and features toroidal transformers and advanced ICs for silent, hassle-free operation.

Everest also mentions that this is a very power efficient stabiliser that boasts of features like instant start and intelligent time delay.

V-GUARD VG 150

If you have a small AC, something in the 0.5 ton range, we’d recommend you get the V-Guard VG150 stabiliser. It’s a smaller unit with a lower, 6A capacity, but it offers a wider range of stabilisation – 150-280V – not to mention a solid, 5-year warranty and several overload and thermal protection features that your AC will benefit from.

With the demand for ACs only increasing, and long summers leading to severe fluctuations and power outages, it’s important that we do what we can to keep expensive appliances such as ACs safe. Do make sure that you pick the right stabiliser for your AC type as the protection a stabiliser offers is largely dependent on the load it is designed to handle. A good stabiliser can be expensive, but it’s an investment that is well worth the money in the long run.
