What is Inverter Technology?
Inverter technology is a type of motor control that uses a variable frequency drive (VFD) to control the speed of an electric motor. This allows the motor to operate at the most efficient speed for the given load, which can lead to significant energy savings.
How does Inverter Technology work?
Fixed-speed Aircon Compressor (Traditional air conditioner): Only has 2 settings: On and Off
Aircon Compressor With Variable Frequency Drive (Inverter air conditioner): Not limited to fixed settings
Is it good to leave your inverter ACs on the whole day?
The short answer is no. The inverter air conditioner unit of your home still consumes a large amount of electricity to function. The longer the air conditioner operates, the higher its energy consumption will be.
Inverter technology allows the AC to operate more efficiently by varying the speed of the compressor thus letting it consume less electricity than a traditional AC.
What are the factors that affect the energy efficiency of your inverter appliances?
High Temperatures
Air Leaks
Poor Maintenance

Understanding Your Electric Bill
For contestable business customers, your electricity bill is divided into five primary components under the EPIRA and RCOA frameworks: Generation Charge (~60%): The largest portion, covering the actual cost of producing electricity via Independent Power Producers, Power Supply Agreements, and the WESM market. Transmission Charge: Fees for using NGCP's high-voltage grid and grid-stabilizing ancillary services to deliver power safely from power plants. Distribution Charge: The portion retained by your local utility (e.g., Meralco) to operate and maintain neighborhood infrastructure, transformers, meters, and customer support. System Loss Charge: Covers energy lost in transit (technical losses) or through theft and errors (non-technical losses), strictly capped by the ERC. Other Charges: Government-mandated taxes (12% VAT, franchise taxes), social cross-subsidies (Lifeline and Senior Citizen discounts), and the FIT-All fund for renewable energy projects.
