Abstract: An air conditioner includes an outdoor unit, a plurality of indoor units, a plurality of expansion valves which are provided upstream of indoor heat exchangers, a plurality of on-off valves which are provided upstream of the expansion valves, and control unit wherein when the indoor units include a stopping indoor unit and an operating indoor unit currently operating, and when a stopping of the stopping unit is due to thermostat-off operation, the control unit performs a procedure to stop the stopping unit, the procedure including closing an on-off valve that corresponds to the stopping unit and driving an indoor fan in the stopping unit until pressure in a part between the on-off valve and an expansion valve that corresponds to the stopping unit and pressure in a part downstream of the first expansion valve are equalized, fully opening the expansion valve, and stopping the indoor fan.
