Inverter-type AC |
Fixed-speed AC |
It works at a variable speed and doesn’t switch off completely at the set temperature. |
A compressor runs at full speed all the time. |
Inverter-type compressors consume less power. |
Fixed-speed compressors consume more power. |
A 1.5-ton inverter AC runs between 0.3 and 1.7 tonnes of variable capacity as per the requirements of the room’s heat load. |
A 1.5-ton capacity is always used by a fixed-speed compressor. |
Inverter-type AC is expensive. |
It is less expensive than the inverter type of AC. |
Inverter AC maintains room temperature constantly, as it doesn’t get switched off completely. |
It operates in switch on/off mode, and the room temperature fluctuates; it is incompatible with inverter-type AC. |
The sound level is low. |
The sound level is higher because it starts and stops at regular intervals. |
Its spare parts are more expensive. AC has a long life. |
It reduces the cost of spare parts.But AC has a shorter life than inverter-type AC. |
