Life is miserable in the summer. There is no peace outside the house. To get relief from such an unbearable temperature, the well-to-do people of the capital rush to electrical product showrooms or sales centers to buy air conditioning (AC) devices. Dealers say AC sales have increased significantly in the past few days. However, the buyers say that the price of AC is kept high due to heat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, the highest temperature in the country was 43 degrees Celsius today, April 29. The temperature in the capital itself is 40 degrees Celsius. Due to the high humidity, there is heat everywhere. The Department of Meteorology has issued a heat alert for the fifth time. Amid the ongoing heat wave, 17 people died across the country due to heat stroke on April 28. There is no record of the deaths of so many people due to heat stroke in one day in the history of the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Manwar Hossain, who came to buy AC because he could not bear the heat, told the media, &#8220;The intense heat has increased the demand for AC, and on this occasion, the AC traders have increased the price of AC.&#8221; So I was forced to buy AC at a higher price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Businessman Murad Hasan came to buy AC for the comfort of children at home. He told the media, &#8220;The heat this time is unbearable. Children and the elderly are suffering at home. So I came to buy AC. But the price of AC is relatively high.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What causes an AC explosion? What causes an AC explosion?<br \/>\nLike Murad Hasan&#8217;s family, many people flock to the AC shop to get some relief from the intense heat. Different local and foreign brands according to their abilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to various sources, 550,000 to 600,000 AC units are sold annually in the country. The annual AC market is Tk 6 thousand crores. This time, 6.5 lakh ACs can be sold for homes. Meanwhile, along with AC, the demand for fans has increased. One- to two-ton capacity AC is in high demand in homes. But now we sell more than one and a half tons of power-saving technology inverter AC. Low-income people prefer air coolers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mohammad Mamun Mia, in charge of retail sales at Electro Mart, a company that markets Gree brand ACs made in China, said that the demand for Gree in the AC market is always high. AC sales have almost doubled in the last 10 days. Inverter ACs are in high demand as they are energy efficient. A Greer one-ton non-inverter AC is selling for 66 thousand taka and an inverter for 69 thousand taka.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently, Walton, Electromart, Transcom, Esquire, Singer Bangladesh, Butterfly, Rangs, Electra International, Minister, Vision, and LG are producing and marketing AC in the country. Officials of these organizations said that AC sales have started all over the country after Eid. However, sales have increased over the past two weeks. The demand for AC is highest in the capital, Dhaka. Outside of Dhaka, there is a great demand for AC at the district-upazila level as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mohit Chakraborty, Head of Marketing at Vision Electronics, said that the demand for AC has increased by 25 to 30 percent this season compared to the same period last year. But our AC price has not increased.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dhanmondi, Gulshan, Banani, Uttara, Newmarket, Wari, Banshree, Rampura, Badda, Jatrabari, Motijheel, Gulistan, electronic goods shops in the capital, Baitul Mukarram Mosque Market, electronics shops in Nawabpur Road, Laxmibazar in Old Dhaka, and various brand showrooms can be visited; almost all The shop is crowded with customers. They buy AC, a ceiling fan, a stand fan, a charger fan, and an air cooler. However, the number of AC buyers in the showrooms of various domestic brands is high.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The manager of the Walton branch in Laxmibazar told Uttam media that the sale of Walton AC has increased three times compared to earlier. Earlier, if I used to sell 5\u20136 units of AC daily in this showroom, now I am selling 15-20 units. Even though people are taking out loans due to the heat, they are buying AC to stay in peace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regarding the increase in the price of AC, he said that the price of our AC has not increased in the last three years. There is a difference between buying an AC online and from a showroom. Many people are ordering AC online without coming to the showroom. But not more than two or three thousand tks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Crime Desk: An intense heatwave is going on across the country. Life is miserable in the summer.
