Air-energy heat pump water heater incorporated into energy-saving subsidies

On June 5th, China Heat Pump Industry Alliance held the “Air Energy Water Heater Including Energy Saving Products Huimin Engineering Exchange Conference” at the China Institute of Metrology, Beijing. At the meeting, it was learned that as an industry with an overall annual production value of less than 5 billion yuan, the air heat pump Water heaters were included in the scope of energy-saving subsidies, and the subsidy standard of 300-600 yuan / Taiwan is among the top five products, causing a lot of outsiders questioned. Sources said that in the 26 billion yuan of energy-saving subsidies, heat pump water heaters are expected to receive 600 million yuan in subsidies, which account for almost 10% of the industry's output value, the magnitude is not too small.

“Compared with the sales price of air-energy heat pump water heaters, the subsidy amount of 600 yuan/set is not high, and it is also a bit low compared with international practice.” Mr. Wu Yuanwei, a senior professor of China's HVAC industry, commented: “In Europe and the United States, In developed countries and regions such as Japan, the high penetration rate of air-energy water heaters is inseparable from the subsidy policies of various governments in the world. For example, a Japanese consumer buying an air-to-heater water heater can subsidize the equivalent of RMB 3,000. This policy was introduced before There is a rumor that electric water heaters are also included in the subsidy range, and heat pump water heaters are on the list. If this is the case, then it will be an international joke. Now that the official policies have been introduced, energy-saving gas water heaters, solar water heaters and heat pump water heaters have been approved, indicating that China will be in line with international standards and gradually eliminate electric water heaters.We hope that through the national subsidies, China's air heat pump industry can speed up development and growth. Only if the industry is bigger, the production cost can be reduced, and then the people will enjoy the benefits and benefits of energy-saving products. ."

Zhao Misheng, deputy chairman of the China Heat Pump Industry Alliance and chairman of Guangdong NuoTai New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., said at the meeting: “After learning that the energy-saving project was about to start, I made a special trip to Beijing. The National Development and Reform Commission, the National Institute of Standards and Other relevant departments have communicated and hoped that the air-to-energy heat pump can catch up with this policy. The leaders have their opinions on whether or not they can advance, and what kind of criteria they can enter. Finally, most leaders agree. Although our industry is currently small, but the strategic emerging industries encouraged by the state, heat pump water heaters are indeed more than 70% energy saving than electric water heaters.The small scale is due to the development time is not long, but the growth space is very large For example, in the past three years, Niu Entai has doubled its growth every year, which is not common in traditional industries, and it is not an example in our industry. For example, Zhong Guang Outes has also doubled its value. We hope to use 5000 units per year as the standard, but the final number is 10,000. This number is difficult for SMEs, but for some Research and development production and marketing network in terms of business is achievable. "

“Incorporating energy-saving and people-friendly projects is the first time that the air-energy heat pump industry has received approval from the national policy level. It is of great significance and is a milestone for the development of the industry.” Song Zhongkui, executive deputy secretary general of the China Energy Conservation Association and secretary-general of the China Heat Pump Industry Alliance, is very happy "There are several reasons why heat pump water heaters are subsidized: First, air energy water heaters are indeed a very good product, and their energy efficiency is significantly better than gas, electricity, and solar water heaters; second, the heat pump alliance platform has been actively Relevant competent authorities at all levels transmit and reflect the voice of the industry; in addition, they are inseparable from the efforts of the companies in the industry, such as Nuomei, Autodess, Tongyi, Gree, etc.”

Regarding this time being given the qualification for “examination”, the air-energy heat pump water heater industry is all fortunate and happy, and deeply grateful for the love of the national policy. Many enterprises are clearly aware that the policy implications of subsidies for the air energy industry are greater than economic benefits. For example, Zhang Xuelin, head of the hot water machine in the United States, said: “The amount of this energy saving subsidy is not of great significance, because this subsidy After that, the price of air energy water heaters is still not comparable with other water heaters, but in terms of promotion, the significance for us is very significant!"
