Summer is upon us and most of us are going from the dilemma to buy a new air conditioner. There is no doubt about it that split AC are becoming a rage these days, with brands offering top-of-the-line features at a competitive price point. But, one of the most talked-about segment is the inverter air conditioners.
What is Inverter Air Conditioner?
Inverter technology basically helps to moderate power consumption of the compressor. So, for instance, if the compressor requires more, this technology will give the desired power to reach a particular temperature. An inverter is then used to control the power supply, making it draw less power, once it reaches the desired temperature. This helps brings down your energy bills and makes the air conditioner more energy efficient as compared to regular air conditioners.
