What is an Inverter AC?
An inverter AC, on the other hand, uses advanced technology to adjust the speed of the compressor based on the cooling demand. Instead of turning on and off, the compressor runs continuously but at varying speeds. Here’s how it works:
- The compressor starts at full speed to cool the room quickly.
- Once the desired temperature is reached, the compressor slows down to maintain the temperature without shutting off.
- The speed adjusts dynamically based on the room’s cooling needs.
Key Characteristics of Inverter ACs:
- Variable Speed Compressor: The compressor adjusts its speed to match the cooling demand, ensuring consistent temperature control.
- Energy Efficiency: More energy-efficient than non-inverter ACs, as the compressor avoids frequent startups and consumes less power at lower speeds.
- Quieter Operation: Since the compressor doesn’t turn on and off, inverter ACs tend to operate more quietly.
- Cost: Higher upfront cost, but savings on electricity bills can offset the initial investment over time.
