Re: Inverter AC efficiency at different speeds
That makes sense, thank you! I wish the manufacturers provided an efficiency curve for their units like power supply manufacturers do. So presuming the minimum capacity of both units is roughly the same, there would not be any disadvantage to oversizing the unit besides initial cost?
Also, what effect would overloading and undersizing the unit have on its longevity? I remember hearing somewhere that since inverter AC units are variable speed, it isn't great for their longevity to be running at maximum capacity all day every day, similar to driving a car at full throttle all day every day- It's made to handle it, but longevity will likely be adversely affected. Is there any truth to that? Thanks in advance!
