Anyone else considering an AC for the first time in Bengaluru?

For years, fans were sufficient for me in Bengaluru. I never needed an AC before, but this year's heat has me reconsidering. I have been sweating indoors during the day and even nights have been a bit uncomfortable.

I am curious about those who added an air cooler in the last year or two.

Did it make a meaningful difference during the summer heat, or did you eventually end up needing an AC?

Interested specifically in experiences from apartment dwellers.
