High-energy appliances begin to clean up inventory

Recently, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China and the National Standardization Committee jointly issued the "Announcement on Approving the Issuance of 61 National Standards." Starting from October 1 this year, inverter air conditioners, flat panel TVs, washing machines, air energy heaters and range hoods Five categories of household appliances will begin to implement new energy efficiency standards, and some high-energy-consuming appliances will face delisting. Reporters visited the city's large supermarkets and home appliance stores learned that most businesses are currently conducting high-energy consumer electronics product price reduction promotions to ensure inventory clearance before the implementation of the new standard.

It is understood that in accordance with the new standards, it is expected that more than 30% of the frequency conversion of 3-stage air-conditioning products will face out, at least 60% of the drum washing machine products will be delisted, more than half of the Washing Machine will not be able to sell in the future, about 20% of the heat pump Water heater products are eliminated. The reporter visited and found that the air conditioner products currently sold on the market are implemented with a grade 5 energy efficiency rating system, that is, from grade 1 to grade 5. However, with the continuous improvement of energy saving requirements, air conditioner manufacturers no longer produce grade 4 and 5 energy efficiency in the past two years. Grade air conditioners, only grade 1 to 3 air conditioners are on the market. In the Gome South Building shop, the reporter saw that major brands of air conditioners in recent days have started to cut their prices sharply. Among them, Level 3 energy efficiency products have become the main force for price reduction. Most of the air-conditioning products currently being sold in stores are sold at a discount of 7 to 80% of the original price, which has attracted many consumers to consult and purchase. As a result of price reductions, the sales of air conditioners have also increased dramatically. Many brands of Class 3 energy-efficient air conditioners have already reached the stage of cleaning prototypes. Sales staff said: "In the future, energy-efficient products are certainly the mainstream of the market, we need to seize the time to clear inventory, the effectiveness of the recent price promotions are very good, the clearance pressure is not big."

In addition to air conditioning, the washing machine industry is most affected by the new energy efficiency standards. The new standard will not only improve the energy efficiency rating of existing washing machines, but also impose stricter requirements on water use efficiency and water saving capacity. According to the new standard, the current level 1 efficiency of the drum washing machine will be reduced to 5 in the new standard, which means that the existing level 2 to level 5 products will be completely eliminated. In the Suning Appliance store, the reporter found that 1,2 energy-efficient washing machines have occupied the dominant position of market sales. The price of drum-type washing machines has remained stable, and some pulsator-type washing machines have a small price reduction ranging from 200 yuan to 300 yuan. At present, there are only a few 3 or even 4 energy-efficient wave wheel washing machines sold by major brands. Washing capacity of washing machines with a capacity of about 5 kg has fallen to less than 1,000 yuan. The price of large-capacity double-barrel washing machines is only around 600 yuan. According to store sales personnel, although the price of such washing machines is cheap, but due to high water consumption, inconvenient operation, there are not many people to buy, and now is also in the clearing stage.

The reduction in prices of high-energy-consuming appliances in physical stores has also led to the promotion of online related products. The new energy efficiency standards have also contributed to the fierce battle between electricity suppliers. According to industry insiders, the major home appliances brands are currently digesting existing high energy consumption products, and products that are about to be phased out will use a relatively large-scale low price clearance to pull a wave of small sales peaks. If consumers pay more attention to the cost-effectiveness of their products, they can purchase them at this stage. If you pay more attention to the energy-saving effect of products, you need to wait until October to implement new purchases.

It is expected that more than 30% of the frequency conversion 3 level air conditioner products will face out, at least 60% of the drum washing machine products will be delisted, more than half of the wave wheel washing machines will not be able to sell in the future, about 20% of the heat pump water heater products are eliminated.
