You have probably had air conditioning sales people come into your home and start reccomending Inverter Ducted air conditioning. And chances are you don't fully understand how it works.

Well here is a basic explanation of Inverter air conditioning. You see, a basic conventional air conditioning system has a basic engine it it just like your motor car. This engine basically has two speeds. Flat out and Stop.

Airconditioners use a lot of electricity in these types of motors because it takes a lot of energy to start a motor from ZERO. And when your home reaches the temperature that you requested on your climate control thermostat the motor will turn off compeletely.

With an inverter air conditioning system, like Fujitsu, Daikin, or Mitsubishi Electric, these motors are designed diferently. You see, when you turn on an inverter, the motor will start up slowly so that it does not use a lot of power, then the motor slowly speeds up to full power on a sliding scale. This way the system uses less power to initially start up.
As the ducted airconditioner gets closer to reaching your temperature that you requested in your home, the motor will start slowing down, thus using less electricity. And as an added benefit, the temperature in your home will remain more constant, assuming the heatload has been done and you have sized your air conditioning system correctly.

The end reult is that the motor does not have to completley stop and because of this you dont use a lot of electricity trying to make the air conditioning system commence from a complete stop.

ONE WARNING. DO NOT UNDERSIZE YOUR INVERTER SYSTEM OR YOU WILL USE MORE ELECTRICITY THAN A CONVENTIONAL AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM,
