Budget: Identify your financial constraints and consider the air conditioner capacity to buy according to your budget.

Energy Efficiency: Considering inverter air conditioners may cut down your costs on your monthly electricity expenses over the long term.

Noise Level: When it comes to noise, it is recommended to prefer inverter types that are quieter if noise is of major concern to you.

Installing: Consider the installation expenses, which can change based on the kind of air conditioner and the level of complexity.
