Mini-Split HVAC Systems

Inverter Compressor Technology

    The inverter compressor uses precise control systems to modulate the speed of compressor motor. The compressor is specifically designed to run at different motor speeds to modulate cooling and heating output. By utilizing a technology that does not operate the compressor at full capacity all the time, efficiency and comfort levels can be optimized. These inverter compressors use a inverter control board that is designed to monitor the demands of cooling or heating and modulate the inverter compressor due to these demands.

    Many HVAC manufacturers and systems have implemented the inverter compressor design in their products. One of the most popular systems that utilizes this technology is the mini-split. The Maytag iQ Drive system uses this technology to greatly increase SEER ratings and efficiency of the system.
    Here is some additional information and characteristics of inverter compressor systems.

Inverter compressors modulate speed and capacity unlike traditional compressors that have an on or off approach for running. Inverter compressors are more quiet than traditional compressors. Inverter compressors are more efficient than traditional compressors. Inverter compressor HVAC systems are more costly when compared to tradional compressor HVAC systems. Inverter compressor HVAC systems keep a constant zone temperature and do not have to overshoot the temperature setpoint of the zone. Select inverter compressor HVAC systems can control humidity in a zone extremely well. Most inverter compressor HVAC systems are Energy Star qualified and may be eligible for federal and state tax credits or local utility rebates.
