As per the company, due to the use of ACs in summers, Delhi witnesses huge gap between minimum and maximum power demand. Old ACs also consume more electricity. It is estimated that a consumer can save up to Rs 7,500 in annual electricity budget by replacing old ACs with the new ones.
The leakage of Hydrofluorocarbon from the old ACs also adds to the global warming posing a bigger threat to the environment.
New ACs would be delivered within 15 days of registration. A consumer can register for the scheme through BSES helpline: 011-3999970 and toll free number-19123.
