| Factors | Conventional AC | Inverter AC |
| Electric Current | Operates purely on alternating current (AC) | Initial supply of alternating current is converted to direct current and back to alternating current at the required frequency |
| Running of Compressor | The compressor operates in cycles. It cuts off when the room temperature reaches the level set on the thermostat. It restarts when the room temperature rises. | The compressor is continuously in operation. However, once the desired temperature has been achieved, it operates at minimum power merely to maintain that temperature |
| Power Consumption | When the compressor is in operation it always runs at 100% of its capacity. Consumes More Power | The compressor runs at 100% capacity only when switched on until the pre-set temperature has been reached. Thereafter, it consumes only the minimum power required to maintain that temperature |
