Answer :

In our homes we use AC. Since the main advantage of AC is its transmission, and AC can be step up and step down with the help of transformer. And generation of AC is cheaper and economical for large scale. The AC generator are cheaper and requires less maintenance. In our home there are mostly AC equipments like ceilings fan, air conditioners, washing machine, tube light, etc. So we use AC in our homes.
