Check out Inverter Vs. Non-Inverter | Cool R Metal for some great tips for choosing air conditioning installer.

When choosing to install an air conditioner called a split system air conditioning system, you have a couple of options. You can choose to get an system that has a built-in inverter or you can choose to get a regular air conditioning system. Both are pretty much almost look the same but inside, the motor is a little bit different.

The inverter unit is more complicated in that the compressor in the unit can go at different speeds automatically. The regular unit can only be set up to go one speed at a time. The advantage of having the compressor automatically change speeds is it detects temperature differences and changes accordingly. The inverter has the advantage in this instance because the regular unit doesn’t change automatically to reduce its function even though the temperature is cold enough already.

The regular unit definitely uses more power to run because it doesn’t have a sensor that detects if the desired room temperature is reached already. It keeps on running at full speed even though it doesn’t need to. The inverter unit uses only the energy required to get the desired room temperature and then it reduces its power usage until it needs to lower the temperature again. When you turn off the inverter unit, it also powers down slowly and almost goes to a deep sleep before it shuts off totally. This is so that when you turn it back on, it doesn’t require a huge surge of energy to turn it on.
