Consumers' misunderstanding of energy-saving appliances

The popularization of energy-saving home appliances and the promotion of national energy-saving products to benefit the people's projects have played a very positive role in promoting consumers' awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection and promoting the sales of energy-saving home appliances, and set off a wave of energy-saving and environmentally-friendly consumption in the society. However, the reporter found that due to lack of understanding of energy-saving appliances or some misunderstandings, many consumers are hesitant about whether to purchase energy-saving appliances, which has hindered the popularization of energy-saving products to a certain extent. In addition, due to the lack of relevant knowledge of some consumers, scientific use methods cannot be adopted when using energy-saving home appliances, which leads to the inability to fully utilize the energy-saving advantages of products, and even leads to energy-saving appliances that do not save energy, and thus further increase the distrust of energy-saving appliances. . Then, what are the misunderstandings and consumers' misunderstandings in the consumption of energy-saving appliances? How to scientifically purchase and use energy-efficient home appliances? This reporter interviewed relevant experts of China Household Electrical Appliances Association and China Household Electrical Appliances Research Institute.

Misunderstanding, it is not worthwhile to buy energy-saving appliances.

Energy-saving home appliances are more energy-efficient than ordinary home appliances. This is undoubted, but its price is more expensive than ordinary home appliances. Because of this, many consumers feel that energy-saving appliances are too expensive, and there is no concept of how much electricity can be saved by using energy-saving appliances. Therefore, they are reluctant to choose energy-saving appliances. There are still many consumers who believe that the electricity bills saved by using energy-saving appliances are not as high as the purchase price, and they refuse to buy energy-efficient home appliances. So, is it not cost-effective to use energy-efficient home appliances?

Mr. Xiao, who bought the ordinary air conditioner, calculated the following account for this reporter: He took a fancy 1.5-inverter level 1 energy-efficiency product and a fixed-speed level 3 energy-efficiency product. The price difference is 420 yuan. He believes: "Energy-saving products are much more expensive, too uneconomical, and it is affordable to buy things." However, the reporter asked the experts to understand that his calculation method is not scientific. Experts told reporters that in fact, Mr. Xiao compared the two air conditioners, and the cost savings of energy-saving products far exceeded the amount he calculated. Calculated at a set temperature of 27 ° C, this energy-saving air conditioner actually saves 0.5 degrees per hour than a normal air conditioner. According to the Beijing electricity price of 0.5 yuan per degree, if you use 100 days per year and start up 6 hours a day, the annual electricity savings will reach 150 yuan, which is 420 yuan higher than ordinary air conditioners, and can be recovered in 3 years. If you use air conditioning for heating in winter, you will save even more. Of course, if you consider the current ladder price policy, the benefits of purchasing energy-efficient air conditioners will be more obvious.

In the interview, the reporter found that Mr. Xiao believes that the price of energy-saving home appliances is too high, even after counting the subsidies, there are still many consumers who are more expensive than ordinary household appliances. In this regard, many industry experts said in an interview that this is a limitation of consumers' understanding of energy-saving products. In fact, energy-saving products not only have the advantage of lowering the cost of secondary consumption, but also have better performance than ordinary products. More advantages such as more complete functions and longer life. It is unscientific to simply measure the strengths and weaknesses of energy-saving products and general products through price comparison.

The purchase of energy-saving products not only saves considerable secondary usage costs, but also contributes to energy conservation and environmental protection. As far as air-conditioning is concerned, if our households use energy-saving products, they can save at least 3.3 billion kWh per year and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 3.3 million tons.

Misunderstanding 2, the performance of energy-saving products is not outstanding

Nowadays, the functions of home appliances are becoming more and more abundant, and the performance is getting higher and higher. Whether it is energy-saving home appliances or ordinary home appliances, it is very important to promote the performance of products when marketing. Especially for ordinary household appliances, because of the lack of energy-saving highlights, even better in terms of performance and function promotion than energy-efficient high-end appliances. This has led many consumers to think that energy-saving home appliances have no other advantages besides energy-saving advantages, and sometimes even think that the performance of ordinary home appliances is better than energy-efficient home appliances. In this regard, experts pointed out that this is completely a misunderstanding of energy-saving home appliances, energy-saving appliances are not only energy-saving, but also a lot higher in performance than ordinary home appliances.

As we all know, the high price of high-end home appliances is because of its better performance. In general, energy-saving products are more high-end than ordinary products, and their performance is not only more energy-saving, reducing the cost of secondary use, but more importantly, energy-saving products are more advanced than ordinary products due to their advanced technology. The function is also more perfect, which can bring people more comfort.

Taking the frequency conversion washing machine as an example, the speed setting is generally adopted in the form of stepless speed regulation, and the starting energy is directly converted into power, and the effective energy saving is more than 40%. At the same time, the frequency conversion technology completely abandons the traditional belt transmission power technology, eliminating the running noise brought by the traditional washing machine belt transmission. The direct-drive technology that bridges the lubrication reduces the noise by more than 30% compared with the ordinary motor operation, thus effectively eliminating the noise. Laundry noise. Not only that, the variable frequency energy-saving washing machine usually has the characteristics of variable water flow and high dehydration speed, which not only saves electricity but also saves water, and at the same time greatly improves the washing degree of the washing machine.

The reporter found that the reason why the price of energy-saving products is higher is that the functions of the products are more perfect and can meet the different needs of consumers. Taking the two air conditioners contrasted by Mr. Xiao as an example, the reporter saw that Mr. Xiao’s fancy energy-saving air conditioners also have the function of changing the fresh air and removing formaldehyde, while another ordinary air conditioner does not have these functions. At present, the indoor pollution of air-conditioned rooms has become an important factor affecting the health of consumers. Especially for newly renovated houses, formaldehyde pollution is highly valued by people. In this case, in addition to the price and secondary cost, energy-saving products and Ordinary products are better and worse, more obvious at a glance.

Misunderstanding three energy-saving appliances have a short service life

The technology of energy-saving home appliances is higher, the progress of energy-saving technology is also very fast, and the speed of product update is also correspondingly accelerated. Therefore, many consumers equate the speed of product replacement with the service life of products, and believe that the life of energy-saving home appliances is shorter than that of ordinary products.

In fact, compared with ordinary products, energy-saving products have better performance, more advanced technology, more stable quality and longer service life, which can more effectively save the maintenance costs incurred by consumers during use and reduce the frequency of replacement. , thus effectively reducing the cost of updates.

Taking TV as an example, although CRT TVs have a long service life, flat-panel TV technology is now very mature, and its life expectancy is almost comparable to that of CRT TVs. And now the energy-saving TV refers to the LED TV in the flat-panel TV. The energy-saving TVs currently promoted by the market are mostly LED products. Unlike ordinary LCD TVs, LED light sources have a very long life and a lifetime of 100,000 hours.

The fluorescent tubes used in daily use contain mercury, a toxic substance, and LCD TVs and fluorescent tubes are basically the same, and contain harmful substances such as mercury. LED TVs do not contain these substances, and the purchase and use of LED TVs not only saves energy, but also effectively prevents environmental pollution.

Not only that, the design of energy-saving products is also more advantageous than ordinary products. Taking LED and LCD TV as an example, the former not only has obvious energy-saving effect, but also because of advanced technology, the product is slimmer and the thickness is only half of the latter. The whole machine is simple and smooth, and very delicate. Reporter Wang Feng
