An air conditioner includes a dust collection sheet including a first electrode and a second electrode separated from the first electrode and facing the first electrode, and to collect particles in air, a power supplier electrically connected to the first and second electrodes, and a controller configured to control the power supplier to apply a direct current (DC) voltage to the first electrode to perform a dust collecting operation, determine to perform at least one of a first sterilizing operation at a preset first temperature for a first period of time and a second sterilizing operation at a second temperature higher than the first temperature for a second period of time shorter than the first period of time, and control the power supplier to apply an alternate current (AC) voltage to the first electrode and the second electrode for the first sterilizing operation or the second sterilizing operation.

Air conditioner and method for controlling the same

Provided is an electrostatic dust collecting apparatus including a first electrode, a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode along a first direction, at least one support member configured to maintain an interval between the first electrode and the second electrode spaced apart from each other, and a support bar formed to extend along the first direction. The at least one support member each include at least one electrode insertion groove formed to allow at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode to be inserted thereinto and a coupling hole extending along the first direction and formed to allow the support bar to be coupled thereto.
