-   The price premium of ₦80,000–₦150,000 is typically recovered within **6–12 months**

## Tips for Buying an AC in Nigeria

-   **Choose the right capacity:** 1HP for rooms up to 12m², 1.5HP for 12–18m², 2HP for 18–25m²
-   **Always buy inverter:** The electricity savings in Nigeria make inverter ACs the smarter long-term choice
-   **Use a voltage stabiliser:** Protect your AC from Nigeria's unstable power supply
-   **Buy from authorised dealers:** Ensure genuine products and valid warranty coverage
-   **Factor in installation costs:** Professional AC installation typically costs ₦15,000–₦40,000 in Nigeria
