An object of the present invention is to reduce electric power consumption when an air conditioner-wherein capacity of a compressor is automatically reduced as an indoor temperature approaches a set temperature, thereby bringing the indoor temperature close to the set temperature-is made to perform front-loading operation. In an air conditioner 1 according to the present invention, wherein capacity of a compressor is automatically reduced as an indoor temperature Tr approaches a set temperature Ts , thereby bringing the indoor temperature Tr close to the set temperature Ts, a startup control apparatus 33 measures time (hereinafter called "inflection point occurrence time") from when the air conditioner 1 starts operation until when the measured indoor temperature exhibits an inflection point, and then sets as a scheduled operation start time of the air conditioner a time of day that is a desired time of day moved forward by the inflection point occurrence time, and then starts operation when current time of day comes to the scheduled operation start time. |
