Energy-saving appliance-level high may not be affordable

On October 5th, the reporter visited the Jinan market and learned that energy-efficient home appliances with high energy efficiency levels are affected by the New Deal. The average selling price of each appliance is nearly 1,000 yuan higher than that of high-energy appliances. According to industry sources, an energy-efficient air conditioner of Grade 1 can save only 0.06 kWh of electricity per hour compared with the secondary products of the same brand. According to the current electricity price, it can save about 100 yuan in three to four years, and it can save 1,000 yuan in 30 years. In addition, the energy efficiency label is based only on the ideal parameters measured in the laboratory state, and the energy efficiency vacuity phenomenon is serious.

Market visit: energy efficiency difference A price difference of 1,000 yuan The new energy efficiency standards for home appliances, air conditioning to add a new energy efficiency requirements, the original and secondary energy efficiency of the second-level and second-level energy efficiency will be changed into two; and three; washing machine original one The level of energy efficiency will be directly reduced to five, and the original two- to five-level products can no longer be produced and sold. The reporter visited Jinan on the 5th to find a number of home appliance stores, with the brand of home appliances, each higher than an energy-saving energy efficiency rating, the price will be expensive for 1,000 yuan.

In Quancheng Road, a Mitsubishi electromechanical counter, the reporter saw a 1.5P inverter air conditioner with an energy efficiency rating of 2,800 yuan. According to the sales staff, the air conditioner consumes about 0.4 kWh per hour, which is the most power-saving solution on the counter. The reporter said that it was too expensive, and the sales staff also recommended a 1.5P three-stage inverter air conditioner with a price of 4980 yuan.

Dealer admits: First-class air-conditioning only than the second-level hourly province 0.06 degrees electrical appliances higher energy efficiency level really more power? "To be honest, a province with less than a second class can't save much electricity, and it only saves a few cents of electricity per hour." A dealer of Daikin Air-conditioner bluntly stated that an energy efficiency class one air conditioner has a second-level energy efficiency rating compared to the same brand. The air conditioner only saves 0.06 kWh per hour.

It is reported that the life span of hanging air conditioners is approximately 20,000 hours. The reporter calculated an account according to this: According to the current electricity price of 0.55 yuan/kWh, and the difference between the first and second level 0.06 kWh, the first-level air-conditioning will save 0.033 yuan per hour compared to the second-level air-conditioning, and the air-conditioner will work 6 hours a day and work 180 times a year. Days of calculation can save 0.198 yuan per day, save 35.64 yuan a year, use 3 years to save more than 100 yuan; 30 years can save 1,000 yuan. Obviously, almost no family will use a single air conditioner for such a long period of time. This also means that it is not worthwhile to purchase a first-class energy-efficient air conditioner.

The industry broke the news: Laboratory testing of caterpillar multi-energy efficiency parameters virtual standard serious Shandong Province Household Appliance Industry Association, said relevant persons, many companies in the product sent to the laboratory testing there are many tricky, such as sent to the laboratory testing is the target of the product, but in the end Volume listing is not up to standard products. There are even some small businesses that lack their own testing strength, do not know how much their product energy efficiency rating is, just look at the other company's standard level, they will mark a few levels. In this regard, market supervision is not in place. "As far as the energy saving effect is concerned, the technologies used by various brands of air conditioners are similar, and the difference is not significant." According to the person in charge of a certain brand of air conditioning in Jinan District, for example, air conditioners use titanium alloys as raw materials to provide long-term energy savings, the person said. The titanium used for air conditioning is plated and not durable. "More is a concept hype and exaggeration."

"Energy-saving traps" are key to many scientific use. Experts say that in addition to energy-efficiency labels, consumers must also understand the meaning of various energy-saving technologies so as not to be fooled. For example, popular LED TVs are a lot of tricky. “A lot of brands actually use LED technology instead of LED displays in their backlights. They have a lot of energy-saving effects, but they are collectively referred to as LED TVs in sales promotion.” In addition, taking a 32-inch LCD TV as an example, LED technology is used. The power consumption is 0.1 degrees/hour, while the power consumption of the same size LCD TV is 0.13 degrees/hour. The former has little energy-saving advantages.

The person suggested that consumers should rationally consume when purchasing air-conditioners and other home appliances. Do not blindly pursue low-energy consumption. Be sure to choose according to the actual needs and purchasing power of your family. “The most important thing for consumers is to develop good habits for home appliances, such as reducing the full-load operation of electrical appliances, avoiding standby power consumption, paying attention to the number of switches, and reducing screen brightness.”
