The air conditioner includes: a humidifying mechanism that wets the inside of the indoor unit to bring the inside of the indoor unit into a predetermined humidity; an ozone generator arranged on a windward side of the indoor heat exchanger; and an air conditioning controller having an operation mode in which ozone treatment is performed by allowing the ozone generator to generate ozone in a state that the inside of the indoor unit is held at the predetermined humidity by the humidifying mechanism.
