Abstract
A method for controlling the power-on or power-off of an air conditioner is provided. The method includes the following steps: determining whether a variable capacity compressor of the air conditioner is in a standby single-cylinder operation state before starting the air conditioner, where the variable capacity compressor is configured to be switchable between a single-cylinder operation state and a dual-cylinder operation state; if so, starting the air conditioner; if not, switching the variable capacity compressor to the standby single-cylinder operation state, and then starting the air conditioner. With this control method, regardless of whether the air conditioner is shut down because the power supply of the unit is cut off or because a power-off signal is received, the air conditioner can be started in a single-cylinder operation state in the next startup, so that the operation state of the cylinder is always determined when starting the air conditioner.
