Inverter ACs (air conditioners) generally consume less electricity compared to non-inverter or conventional ACs. Here’s why:

Inverter AC:The inverter technology allows the compressor to run at variable speeds. Instead of turning on and off repeatedly, as a conventional AC would, the inverter AC adjusts its speed to maintain the desired temperature. This continuous operation with variable speed reduces energy consumption.
Non-Inverter AC:The compressor in a non-inverter AC operates at a fixed speed. It turns on at full capacity when cooling is needed and turns off when the desired temperature is reached. This constant cycling leads to higher power consumption, as starting the compressor requires a significant amount of energy.

Inverter AC:More energy-efficient, especially during partial load conditions (when the room is already cool or when the ambient temperature is mild). The compressor slows down rather than stopping completely, maintaining the temperature with less energy.
Non-Inverter AC:Less energy-efficient, as it consumes more power during the frequent on-off cycles of the compressor.
