Inverter Air Conditioners are newer in the market
and they usually
come with a different rating. While non inverter
aircon have energy efficient rating, inverter
aircon are marked with inverter rating. Let's
take a look at the basic differences between
inverter AC and Non-inverter air conditioner
Function Of The Inverter:
The biggest difference between these two types
of aircon lies in the functionality of the
inverter, the best tool to save electricity. The
inverter in Inverter aircon helps to control the
speed of the compressor motor, thereby changing
the temperature as per requirement. This can
reduce the electricity consumption of your air
conditioner
While in Non-inverter air-con's the compressor motor
it operates at complete capacity or non at all
and switched off. This can cause unwanted
current consumption and high electricity bill.
Difference Between Compressor Units:
How much heating or cooling is needed by your AC
unit varies a lot depending on the external
temperature and the internal temperature of the
room. Inverter air-con's generally operates by a
controllable compressor unit. When cooling or
heating capacity is needed to be increased, the
compressor works at a high speed that increases
the quantity of refrigerant. On the other hand
when normal temperature is modest, the
compressor operates at a low speed and reduces
the amount of refrigerant.
However in non inverter air conditioners, there
is no way of controlling the compressor. It
operates either at full capacity or none at all.
When high amounts of refrigerant are needed it
turns on, while the need is low, it turns off,
causing unnecessary energy consumption.

Eco Friendliness:
When compared to non inverter air-con's, inverter
aircon
are much more friendly to the environment.
Inverter aircon can detect sudden fluctuation in
the room temperature, which leads the compressor
to slow down or work faster. As soon as the room
temperature reaches the set temperature,
compressor slows down, thereby maintaining a
constant temperature. This highly helps to save
energy. Generally inverter air-con's need 30-50%
less electricity than non inverter air
conditioner
Money Always Matters:
The only drawback of inverter air conditioners
is the huge price. Initially, the unit and the
installation cost a lot than non inverter aircon.
But when you think about it in details, you will
see that the price is justified. Inverter
aircons save up to 50% electricity than non
inverter aircons. So, if you are planning to use
AC for a long term, buying an inverter AC will
be better, cause in the long run, the money you
would be saving on electricity will make up the
huge price.

Difference Between The Unit's Working:
The short it can be said that inverter aircon are
more precise. Non inverter AC provides a fix
heating or cooling by a fixed power with the
compressor running at a fixed speed. The
compressor has to start and stop when required.
On the other hand inverter aircon have a
controllable compressor that provides the exact
amount of heating and cooling as needed. So, in
terms of efficiency and precision, inverter air
conditioners are much better. |
