Do I need to turn my inverter AC on or off?In an Inverter AC, rotations start very high, that is very high RPM. So, the power required to start an Inverter AC is high. However, after the air conditioner reaches the set temperature, RPM or rotations per minute automatically comes down, thus optimizing it. In this case, there is no requirement to turn the air conditioning unit ON and OFF.
