Recently, Ms. Meng suddenly realized that the electricity consumption in the home was much more than that of a few years ago. After careful analysis, it was suspected that it was caused by the collective aging of the household electrical appliances. Looking at the water heater that has been used for more than six years, Ms. Meng's brain shows a story about “ the water heater wounding ” the report can not help but worry. Home appliances used in large appliances can use up to how many years? Waste appliances should be how to deal with? With these questions, Ms. Meng called our call.

For a long time, the online circulation of a home appliance life of the news, which details the commonly used large appliances “ retirement age ”. These years have no scientific basis? Chinese Institute of home appliances recycling technology research center director Tian Hui said: “ we commonly used household appliances is life, but the online version is not issued by the relevant departments of our country, a reference standard but internationally.
It is understood that the relevant departments of the state in May 2008 issued a "safety of household and similar electrical appliances using the" general principles of using life and regeneration, require manufacturers of the production of home appliances marked the safe use of the term (the term by the manufacturers according to their own strength dimension, can be higher than the national standard, but the international life or general) it is a program file, there is no detailed provisions for the use of life. Tian Hui said that the scientific appliance life for each appliance trial and strict research, formulated by the relevant departments of the state of China's "home appliance" rules for the safe use of life is still under discussion, is expected to be introduced by the end of this year. However, at present, consumers can refer to the internationally accepted standard of common household appliances.

Lu Jianguo, director of Chinese Household Electric Appliance Research Institute comprehensive inspection department also reminded the electrical enterprise, "home appliance service life safety rules" after the introduction of safe use of the term manufacturers will be in accordance with the provisions of production standard product and marked products, if consumers in the period of normal use caused by leakage, fire and other accidents, manufacturers will bear all the responsibility. If the manufacturer's own standard is below the national standard, the product or enterprise will be eliminated.

Aging appliances are unsafe

If the home appliance maintenance well, although the life expectancy, still can be used, it should be eliminated? “ if the appliance of ‘ &rsquo, a lot of problems over age. ” Tian Hui, on the one hand, damaged appliance circuit aging components, corrosion, leakage, explosion or combustion increases the possibility of the machine, there is a serious safety hazard, no one will be hurt; on the other hand, the performance of the equipment will be greatly reduced, can not play its due effect, but also waste a large amount of electricity can, contrary to now advocate environmental protection, low carbon life.

&ldquo: the working age of large appliances is usually from 10 to 15 years, and the actual service life is also affected by various factors, such as the use environment, the frequency of use and the maintenance. ” experts said, different from the car to the prescribed number of years will be forced to scrap home appliances, according to the actual usage, by the consumer to decide whether to scrap or replacement, the relevant departments can only give the reference, comparison by consumers according to their own situation.

When should we eliminate existing appliances? Experts provide us with some simple ways to judge.

Water heater: The runtime sounds abnormal, and there is “ rumble ” noise; switch is out of order; safety device fails. Thus, microorganisms and impurities are deposited in the tank of the water heater, affecting water quality, and possibly causing personal injury due to leakage of electricity.

Air conditioning: Cooling or heating slow, noise is too large, a boot on the dust, blown out of the wind mildew, and even out of blackwater. This kind of air conditioner not only wastes electricity, but also blows the wind. It also contains dirt and is harmful to human body.


The screen color is dim, partial color, the picture is not clear, the picture shakes. This kind of TV not only increases the power and radiation, but also may cause spontaneous combustion or explosion.


Excessive noise, excessive power consumption, poor cooling effect, trembling when running. This situation continues to use, not only the use of electricity surge, food preservation and sterilization of functional degradation, but also may occur refrigerant leakage, pollution of the environment, health hazards.

Washing machine: Excessive noise, wash clothes, often water seepage, water leakage, serious leakage. “ age ” washing machine work can not achieve the effect of washing clothes, but also a waste of electricity, when serious leakage wounding, or even serious incidents of fire explosion.

[expert tip] even if not to the required safe service life, your home appliance has also appeared above described these circumstances, suggest you had better let it be laid off ahead of schedule.

Five categories of home appliances can be replaced

Some consumers may think, my home appliance maintenance well, although to the useful life, it is a bit too bad to throw it away. You don't have to worry now. In March 2009, the relevant departments promulgated the regulations on the management of the recycling of waste electrical and electronic productsAmong them, it is clear that the products can be recycled and qualified enterprises, consumers can also replace the old, and enjoy the relevant subsidies. In this way, you can not only get rid of the old household appliances at a certain cost, but also enjoy a 10% allowance for the purchase of new appliances. Tian Hui introduced, before mostly small traders recycling waste household appliances, they will be dismantling, many parts can not be green, will continue to pollute the environment; on the other hand, a lot of old appliances recycling after treatment to return to the market, some of the damage the interests of consumers. Now most of the enterprises in the recycling of waste electrical appliances, the entire recycling process more standardized, both to protect the interests of consumers, but also conducive to environmental protection.

Ordinary consumers what way TM? As a consumer reporter on several home appliance stores for the investigation, at present, in the replacement of household electrical appliances in the scope of subsidies are mainly of home appliances category (including TV, refrigerator freezer, washing machine, air conditioning) and EEG in five categories. Consumers can call each of the recycling enterprise customer service telephone booking, recycling enterprises will come home recycling old appliances. According to the actual situation of old household electrical appliances, the recovery personnel estimate the depreciation price, usually for tens of yuan. Sell the old home appliance, consumers will get old for new documents, hold this certificate to the successful sale of enterprises to purchase new appliances will enjoy 10% subsidy. It is understood that all types of home appliances ceiling are TV: 400 yuan / Taiwan, refrigerators (including freezers):300 yuan / Taiwan, washing machines: 250 yuan / Taiwan, air conditioning: 350 yuan / Taiwan, computer: 400 yuan / taiwan.

In addition, the reporter learned that, now part of the appliance stores for old change, there are preferential activities, you can choose according to their own circumstances. Need to remind you that, again, when choosing household electrical appliances, we must pay attention to verify the product date of production, the specific service life. The safe use of household and similar electrical appliances and the general rules for recycling use stipulates that the safe service life mark of household appliances shall be marked on the product or the instruction manual. Therefore, when buying new appliances, you'd better look it up firstDon't buy products with longer stock times.
