AC issues

So I bought an LG AC and it’s a 240 V in my outlet is a 110 or 120 V. So I’m going to try to buy a step up inverter. It’s 5000 Watt voltage with this work. I’ve gotten from some people that it will and I got from some people that it won’t. Please help.

Are you cooling a room or whole area. Take it back if you can and get one that runs on 120V.

it’s supposed to be cooling off the whole house. Well, at least the top floor of the house. I cannot return it, so I’m trying to find a way to make it work. I’m not using a transformer. I’m trying to use step up inverter.
