Why Choose an Inverter Model?

Inverter technology allows air conditioners to be more powerful whilst being more energy efficient at the same time.

Conventional air conditioners work at a standard fixed speed but inverter air conditioners work a bit like the accelerator of a car, increasing or decreasing power consumption as it is needed. Inverter systems can offer significant energy savings to users, even up to 30% compared to a standard air conditioning unit (though customers should note that this sort of saving is only achieved if the unit is in constant use for extended periods of time)

Put another way - Conventional air conditioners operate their compressors at a fixed speed and therefore deliver a fixed amount of power. As a result the compressor must continually stop and start to maintain the desired room temperature. This is not energy efficient and the continual stopping and stating can be quite annoying as well. Inverter driven compressors, on the other hand, vary the speed of the compressors, delivering precise cooling or heating power as required.

When the compressor operates at a high speed, the amount of refrigerant flow through the system increases, increasing the cooling or heating capacity. Conversely, when the compressor operates at a low speed (during moderate outside temperatures for example), the amount of refrigerant flowing through the system decreases, thus decreasing the capacity.

When the inverter air conditioner is switched on, the compressor operates at a high speed in order to cool or heat the room quickly. As the room temperature approaches the set temperature, the compressor slows down, maintaining a constant temperature and saving energy. If there is a sudden fluctuation in the room temperature, the air conditioner senses this and instantly adjusts itself to bring the room temperature back to the set temperature. Not only do inverter air conditioners use less electricity to operate, they are also highly energy efficient.

Inverter air conditioning systems are more environmentally friendly than standard units and therefore should be considered by anyone considering purchasing an air conditioning system.
