Mine unit is 1.5hp inverter NKH, installed at master room. I set air cond to run at 25c, then using a digital temperature sensor to test a room temperature. The lowest i can get is 26.9c, 46% humidity.
So does it mean compressor keep working hard to reach 25c? In that case, sounds like not much saving for inverter unit.

With Invertor, you MUST NEVER use too small air cond in too big a room. Otherwise your electricity bill will be more than using Non-Invertor.

If budget allows, get a bigger or over-sized Invertor.

Just for sharing info.

Inverter:
                - low starting power/current
                - not chilling cold
                - good and electricity saving in confined closed room
                - expensive controller, conpressor and spare parts
                - lots of added fancy feature for marketing purposes

Non inverter:
                - high starting power/current before it stable
                - chilling cold
                - can't save much electricity because if compressor turning on/off frequently
                - cheap maintenance and spare parts (compressor seldom breakdown)
                - best use in living room or open room where air flow will leak out easily

Therefore the choice between inverter and non-inverter depend entirely on user needs

Get an over-sized Invertor. For me, if a non-invertor is 13000 BTU, I will get a 18000 BTU Invertor.
