Abstract: A refrigerant circuit includes a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, a throttle device, an indoor heat exchanger, and a four-way valve, and it is configured such that refrigerant circulates therethrough. An inverter is configured to control the compressor as being variable in speed. The refrigerant circuit is configured to perform a defrosting operation in which refrigerant discharged from the compressor is introduced into the outdoor heat exchanger. The compressor includes a motor. The inverter has, as an operation mode, a speed control mode in which the motor is controlled such that a rotation speed thereof is closer to a rotation speed corresponding to a command value and an output control mode in which the rotation speed of the motor is controlled such that output from the motor is closer to a target value. The inverter is configured to operate by using the output control mode in the defrosting operation.
