Inverter vs Non-Inverter — The Simple Explanation
A non-inverter aircond compressor runs at one speed — full power, then off. An inverter varies its speed to maintain temperature with far less electricity.
Electricity Savings
- Non-inverter 1.5 HP: approx. RM 80–120/month
- Inverter 1.5 HP: approx. RM 40–70/month
- Saving: roughly 30–50% less electricity
Lifespan
- Non-inverter: 8–12 years average
- Inverter: 12–15 years average
When to Choose Each
- Inverter: Master bedroom, living room, home office — used daily
- Non-inverter: Rarely used guest rooms, rental properties on tight budget
