Household air conditioners can generally be divided into wall-mounted air conditioners, embedded air conditioners and cabinet air conditioners, while central air conditioners are generally used in entire buildings or large factories. Next, we will only introduce household air conditioners. Household air conditioners can also be subdivided into single cooling and heating and cooling, fixed frequency and variable frequency. The price is single cooling and fixed frequency, and the price of variable frequency heating and cooling is the highest. If you want to know the price details of central air conditioning, you can go to PConline to learn more. Comparison of the prices of major brands of air conditioners on e-commerce
From the TOP ranking above, we can understand that eight of the top ten air conditioner brands are Chinese brands, while the only foreign brands are Panasonic and Daikin, and the rankings are relatively low, respectively TOP 7 and TOP 8. This also shows that in China, the reputation of domestic brands and the trust of nationals in domestic brands of air conditioners exceed those of big foreign brands. This is proof of China's technological progress.
According to the quotations of the top ten air conditioner brands on JD.com’s official website, we can know that domestic brands (Gree, Midea, Haier, Hisense, Oaks, Chigo, Kelon, TCL), wall-mounted air conditioners: 1 to 2 HP The price of an air conditioner is 1,699 yuan to 8,800 yuan, and the price of a 3-horse air conditioner is 5,499 to 6,999 yuan (wall-mounted air conditioners are generally 1 to 2 horses, while air conditioners with 3 horses and above are generally cabinet-type and embedded) ; Embedded and standing cabinet air conditioners: The price of 3-horsepower air conditioners is between 4,799 and 22,899 yuan, and the price of 5-horsepower and above air conditioners is 7,099 and 24,500 yuan.
Foreign brands (Panasonic, Daikin), wall-mounted air conditioners: the price of 1 to 2 hp air conditioners is 2,499 to 25,948 yuan, and the price of 3 hp air conditioners is between 10,000 yuan to 15,000 yuan; embedded and Standing cabinet air conditioner: The price of 3-horsepower air conditioners is 6,998 ~ 17,698 yuan, while the price of 5-horsepower and above fluctuates between 9,000 yuan (generally, 5-horsepower and above need to be customized according to the actual situation).
The most primitive air conditioner has a very single function, only variable frequency heating and cooling, air supply and dehumidification. Subsequent additional functions such as remote WIFI control and intelligent body-sensing temperature control only appeared after the rapid development of science and technology. technology. No matter how user-friendly and intelligent the additional functions are, the core of the air conditioner is the compressor technology, followed by the frequency conversion technology and controller. Selection of core parameters of air conditioners
Although the brands at the top of the rankings are all domestic, the most advanced core technology of air conditioners is still in the hands of foreigners, and the actual situation of domestic brands and the promotion of air conditioners There are various advertisements, but they mainly promote the additional functions of air conditioners, while the core compressor technology is ignored. This shows that the core technology of domestic brands of air conditioners still cannot keep up with the promotion progress.
When choosing an air conditioner, in addition to those additional functions, the parameters of the compressor are particularly important. The first is based on the COP value of the compressor energy efficiency. The main thing to judge whether a compressor is good or bad (energy efficiency COP value); from the P number, the energy efficiency ratio of the rated cooling capacity and the rated cooling power is higher (most importantly, it proves that the compressor is efficient); that is, the lower the rated power The higher the energy efficiency, the better. Because the energy efficiency COP value can be divided from low to high efficiency: from 2.6-3.4 and above. In terms of operating performance parameters, you can refer to the larger the circulating air of the air conditioner, the better (it proves that fast cooling is also critical). Purchasing Suggestions
When we choose to buy an air conditioner, the first thing we see is the dazzling additional functions, and the core parameters are often placed at the end. After we refer to the core parameters, come back Consider the additional functions you need, because some additional functions are not commonly used, and only the ones that suit you are the best.
According to the ranking data, the reason why air conditioners from Gree, Midea and other brands are among the best is not only because they are lower in price than those of foreign brands, but also largely because domestic brands are more in line with the needs of Chinese people. . After meeting the most basic needs, we then consider whether additional attributes such as appearance and production technology are needed.
