An Investigation to Reduce Electricity Bills using Inverter AC in Pakistan

Abstract

The cost affiliated with energy consumption of a conventional air conditioner is so high, an average salaried person cannot afford it. 5.8 m x 4.5 m x 3.6 m room is used for the energy assessment, in which the Inverter/VRF and Conventional air conditioning systems are used separately to attain a set temperature of 25 OC for the weather in Hyderabad, Pakistan. Through the simulated results, May has the highest energy use, with 467 kWh for conventional air conditioning and 310 kWh for inverter air conditioning. When compared to conventional air conditioners, inverter or VRF air conditioners can save up to 50% on energy. In Pakistan, according to NEPRA pricing, inverter air conditioners can have a payback time of 5 to 11 months for various brands of air conditioners, and they can reduce an ordinary consumer's annual electricity cost by up to 48 percent.
