Air Conditioners under ₹30000

Is an inverter air conditioner better than non-inverter ac? Yes, yes, and yes! The operation of the Inverter compressor is dynamic. That means it changes according to the requirement. An appliance with an inverter compressor will have sensors to monitor cooling and regulate the compressor according to the user setting.

The inverter compressor works like an accelerator in vehicles. To get speed 50, in the beginning, you give a full accelerator to your bike. Once your motorbike started running at speed 50, you will release the accelerator and just maintain the speed. That is how an inverter compressor works.

Suppose there are two air conditioners: one with an inverter compressor and another with a non-inverter compressor. You have set their temperature to 16°c.

The air conditioner with an inverter compressor will run at its full capacity to get the desired temperature in the room as quickly as possible. The ac with a non-inverter compressor, whereas, will run as it has been designed and optimized. Therefore, an inverter ac will give you faster cooling, even if it is not mentioned in its list of features.

The real fun starts when the desired temperature is achieved in the room. The air conditioner with an inverter compressor will slow down to the stage where it just maintains the cooling level in the room. On the other hand, the non-inverter ac will still run at the same speed where it started. That will further decrease the temperature in the room, resulting in uncomfortable cooling after a few hours. Thus, non-inverter air conditioners waste lots of electricity.

Since the Samsung brand provides a 5-year warranty for the condenser, buying its triple inverter ac with an Aluminium condenser wouldn’t be a wrong decision.
