|---|---|---|---|
| Energy efficiency ratio | 3.2-3.5 | 3.8-4.2 | 4.5+ |
| Noise value (dB) | 40-45 | 35-40 | 18-32 |
| Smart functions | Basic remote control | APP control | AI temperature control |
| Warranty period | 6 years | 10 years | 10 years+ |
6. Special reminder from experts
1. For air conditioners that have been used continuously for more than 8 years, the repair value may be less than 30% of the price of a new unit. It is recommended to consider replacing it.
2. "False fluoridation" scams have appeared in many places recently. Regular operations must include pressure detection and leakage point inspection.
3. The new national standard air conditioner (GB21455-2019) saves 15% in energy on average compared to the old model. Look for the energy efficiency label when purchasing.
It can be seen from the above structured data that 80% of air conditioning and refrigeration problems can be solved through simple maintenance. It is recommended that users establish regular maintenance habits and conduct preventive inspections before high temperature seasons, which can not only ensure the use effect, but also extend the life of the equipment.
