Air energy water heater GB will be introduced next year

It is reported that after the United States's intervention in the air energy heater, Gree also recently introduced its brand of air energy water heater products to the market, which means that the air energy water heater is expected to become a new profit point for air conditioning companies, but the industry still needs to be cultivated. Gree Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. recently confirmed that its air-energy home central water heater has been officially introduced to the market recently.

Before Gree, domestic companies that produce air-energy water heaters include four brands, namely Midea, Tongyi, and Kontam, which account for nearly half of the domestic market share. Yang Yahua, director of the United States responsible for promoting the sale of air-energy water heaters, said that the United States’ goal this year is to complete the output value of two billion yuan. In the face of enterprises such as Gree and Midea, Tang Yikui, general manager of Tongyi Electrical Appliances, another company in Guangdong, said that the air-conditioning giant's involvement in air-to-air water heaters is a good thing for the industry, because their entry will make the entire market bigger and bigger. Developed.

It is understood that, in fact, the name of the air-powered water heater was previously a heat pump water heater, but this “name” made it difficult for the manufacturers to carry out the promotion. The Chinese Household Electrical Appliances Association and the International Copper Association (China) recently The joint industry enterprises, the name of the heat pump water heater unified as "air energy heater" in the country to promote. However, the current situation is still not optimistic. Heat pump water heaters have not yet received a good response in the market. Only less than 5% of consumers understand the characteristics of this product and have a market share of less than 1% in the water heater industry. The industry's non-standard also makes the quality of air-heated water heater products vary greatly, and it is in urgent need of industry standards. National Household Electrical Appliances Quality Supervision and Inspection Center of China National Household Electrical Appliances Quality Supervision and Inspection Center Yang Chao revealed that the national standard for air energy water heaters will be applied for approval in September this year, and no later than the next year, air power water heaters consume only electricity. One-quarter of ordinary electric water heaters are safer because there is no electrical heating element that comes into contact with water and complete water separation is achieved.
