The first inverter air conditioner was born in Japan back in 1981. Japanese scientists took a conventional air conditioner as a basis and added a special compressor control unit to it, which made it possible to smoothly regulate the rotation speed of its motor, which gave it many advantages over conventional counterparts. It reached the set temperature faster, was more energy efficient, quieter, could operate at temperatures up to fifteen degrees below zero and was much more reliable, and therefore more durable.
For a long time in our country, inverter air conditioners belonged to the so-called premium segment. Few people knew about them. Moreover, not all those who knew could afford them. After all, a conventional split system cost 3-4 times cheaper than a similar inverter system. Interestingly, since the end of the nineties of the last century in Japan, the share of sales of inverter air conditioners has been, according to various estimates, from ninety to ninety-eight percent. That is, the Japanese have been preferring mainly inverter air conditioners for more than twelve years, rather than conventional air conditioners.
Air conditioner Honda HD-12 HRA4 / VHF became one of the first models of inverter air conditioners that break the stereotype that inverter technology is available only to a select few. This wall-mounted split system for a relatively low price allows you to get an excellent design air conditioner with low energy consumption, which you can use almost all year round (operating temperature range: from -15 to + 45 ° C).

Advantages of the Honda HD-12 HRA4 / VHF air conditioner that you should pay attention to
- - Rapid provision of the set temperature. Inverter technology allows the air conditioner to reach the required temperature much faster. On average, air conditioners of this type spend 30-50% less time reaching the set temperature than their non-inverter counterparts.
- - Precise maintenance of the set temperature. Due to the more uniform operation of the compressor, as can be seen from the figure at the beginning of the article, inverter air conditioners maintain a constant temperature in the room. While conventional air conditioners actually operate in a fairly wide range, contrary to the settings set by the user.
- - Significantly lower energy consumption compared to conventional air conditioners. The finer control of the air conditioner processor by the compressor motor provides tangible savings and allows the unit to pay off even before the end of its life cycle.
- - Increased resource of components. More efficient use of the compressor and other components of the inverter air conditioner can increase their service life. According to various sources, such air conditioners, with proper maintenance, often operate for up to 15 years (versus 6-7 years for conventional non-inverter air conditioners).
- - Ability to work for heating at outdoor temperatures up to minus fifteen degrees. It is not recommended to use non-inverter air conditioners after the temperature drops to plus five degrees. Thus, even in winter, you can use the air conditioner for its intended purpose without risking its components.
- - The remote control of the Honda HD-12 HRA4 / VHF air conditioner is equipped with fluorescent buttons for the convenience of users.
- - Honda air conditioners use exclusively ozone-friendly R410A freon.
- - The heart of the Honda HD-12 HRA4 / VHF was a reliable and powerful Toshiba compressor.
