You have probably already heard by word of mouth that inverter air conditioners are better in this way or that way and, if nothing else, they are certainly more energy efficient than the older non-inverter air conditioners because they are better at keeping a room ice-cold, which is what most people from an air conditioner, right? Wrong. It is simply not true that inverter air conditioners are more efficient because they keep rooms cooler than non-inverter air conditioners. Confused? Let us explain.

 

               When you turn an inverter air conditioner on you will not immediately feel the room turn frosty because inverter air conditioners care more about keeping the room constantly at the temperature set by the remote control than it does about making the room as cold as possible as quickly as possible. Once an inverter air conditioner gets to the desired temperature it will automatically throttle back gradually to maintain a constant temperature for your maximum comfort without ever turning itself off. This is what saves energy, unlike the older non-inverter air conditioners. If you own an older non-inverter air conditioner do not be concerned if it is constantly turning itself on and off because that’s the only way it knows how to cool the room. Without an inverter it can only run at 100% on or off, which means that once the temperature has reached, for example, 25 degrees as set by the remote control it must turn itself off (n reality the temperature might even be 23 degrees because the temperature sensor might not be very precis), only to start up again at 100% when the temperature has become too warm.
