Advantages:

- Improved efficiency by% to%

- Better control of temperature = better comfort

Disadvantages:

- Higher cost compared to conventional aircon (unit and refrigerant)

- Slightly higher risk of leakage due to higher pressure of refrigerant.

THE  MAIN TWO ADVANTAGES OF INVERTER TYPE AIR CONDITIONER ARE (1) IT COOLS VERY QUICK THAN CONVENTIONAL AIR CONDITIONER BECAUSE OF HIGHER RPM OF COMPRESSOR CREATE HIGHER PUMPING.

(2) IT CONSUME LOW CURRENTAS ITS COMPRESSOR'S SPEED IS CONTROLLED BY INVERTER DEVICE.

TWO DISADVANTAGES OF INVERTER TYPE AIR  CONDITIONER ARE  (1) IT IS COSTLY SO,MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY THIS SYSTEM.(2) AS IT IS CONTROLLED BY A MICRO PROCESSOR PLC IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO REPAIR BY TECHNICIANS WHO ARE EVEN HIGHLY EXPERIENCED ON CONVENTION TYPE AIR CONDITIONS.
