| 1.5 horses | 3200-3600 | 16-25 | Master bedroom, living room |
| 2 horses | 4500-5100 | 26-35 | Large living room and conference room |
| 3 horses | 6500-7200 | 36-50 | Villa hall, shop |
1. Energy efficiency level:The new national energy efficiency standards are divided into levels 1-5. Level 1 is the most energy-saving but expensive. According to actual measurement data from netizens, level 1 energy-efficient air conditioners save about 200 degrees of electricity per year on average.
2. Variable frequency vs fixed frequency:Inverter air conditioners have stable temperatures and low noise, making them suitable for bedrooms; fixed-frequency air conditioners are low-priced and suitable for short-term use scenarios.
3. Additional functions:Self-cleaning, anti-direct blowing, APP control and other functions have become the selling points of new products in 2024, but they need to be selected according to actual needs to avoid paying for redundant functions.
