Inverter AC or 5-star AC: What is better?

Inverter AC is a type of split AC, which uses variable motor/compressor speeds. It means that the AC can run at different speeds to ensure the room is cooled at an optimum temperature.

Contrary to a standard fixed-speed motor, an inverter AC will adjust the temperature without regularly turning the motor on or off. This saves energy consumption as the AC isn’t always running at a fixed maximum speed or frequently turning on or off.

1. They consume less power than standard ACs.

2. They maintain constant room temperature.

3. They are safe for residential wiring as well.

4. They produce better effective cooling.

5. They are comparatively less noisy than other types of ACs.

6. They are more environmentally friendly.

5-star is the highest rating given by BEE to any appliance including an air conditioner. Since this is a standard for measuring energy efficiency thus, their biggest advantage is they are the most energy-efficient AC on the market thus they will consume less power while providing better effective cooling.

One thing to understand here is this is not an ‘either-or’ question. It is to be noted that all 5-star ACs are inverter ACs. Thus, it is not a question of getting either one or the other. A 5-star inverter AC will provide you not just effective cooling but also remain energy efficient as well.
