As title? Inverter 1HP worth it or better go with non-inverter? Is there any different if temperature is set at 24C with an inverter and will it cause the compressor to run non-stop anyway if 24C?

Most probably run continuously because outside temperature is most probably 27C at night.

If on cold night, then don't need air conditioning

if your electricity bill is high or you frequently use the aircon, always go inverter

if seldom use and electricity bill is low, can consider non-inverter.

Depending on your comfortable temperature, enclosed/open area & duration of operation.

Higher temperature, enclosed area & long operation period, go for inverter. Like me, i prefer the temperature to be around 26-26.5, so, inverter is the best for me. If I use non-inverter, it would start and stop so frequent, I might need to change the capacitor once a year sweat.gif

idk imo its all about luck whether the unit rosak or not. and also sifu piping and etc..

I have Panasonic, Sharp. and Gree. i would say all of these doesnt really differ much although i dont really do in-depth research lah..

Anyway inverter will save u more on electricity but may costs more on repair and initial price.

bruh outside temp has nothing to do with it. the sensor is inside the indoor unit to measure the room temperature. It will not run continuously once it detects room temp is what u set.

Based on your setting, if the air-con start and stop frequently, I think the setting is too high for the difference between set and ambient temperature, hence set it to 25C

Inverter saves by limiting lock rotor current

1.5hp will cool the room much faster compared to 1.0hp.

was using 1.0hp in my room, then was given a used 1.5hp, enjoyed the cool air ever since, no regrets.

same for another room, 1.0hp broken down, so changed to 1.5hp, no complains since installation, everyone happy using.

Yes, you are right about the temperature sensor

Very obvious. That's why my room is 2hp.
