How to Save energy using your airconditioner.
After reaching a set temperature, an inverter air conditioner continually adjusts the compressor rotation speed to operate with minimum power, giving you up to 50% energy savings during its cooling operation and 64% energy savings during heating operations
An inverter in relation to air conditioning terms is a type of air conditioning system that incorporates a power conversion circuit which provides optimum power control and extremely efficient operation by changing the frequency of the power supply which varies the cooling or heating capacity. So even though you get accurate, smooth and flexible operation, you use less electricity than conventional units.
Please note that energy savings are only realised when the system is correctly sized. Undersized inverter systems will cost more to run.
dirt and dust caught in the air filter causes a drop in airflow, which leads to a decline in performance). When using the unit in a location where dirt may easily accumulate, clean filters more frequently. Once every 2 weeks is recommended.
