In an effort to promote healthier living, the air conditioners have UVC sterilisation technology. It helps purify the air by emitting UVC band rays while generating positive and negative ions to inhibit transmission of harmful airborne bacteria, viruses, and other harmful particles. The technology has been certified to a 99.991% efficiency rate in removing SARS-CoV-2 by Texcell, and a 99% virus removal rate by SGS.
For commercial use, the new Haier light commercial air conditioners are also equipped with the same features as the VXA and VRA home conditioners series.

Elevating Home Cooking
For those who enjoy a good homecooked meal, Haier is introducing new hood and hobs to elevate their experience. The HH-GT6907GB is a powerful yet quiet hood, equipped with a large bionic volute design that contributes to a strong, unrestricted airflow of 2200m³/h, coupled with super-low noise performance.
Reducing the potential of a smoggy kitchen, the hood’s AI Smart Air Flow automatically increases suction power when resistance is detected to maintain throughput and suction efficiency, an ideal hood for those who cook frequently or houses that require long piping installation method.
The HH-GT6907GB is capable of Hob-to-Hood Connection via Bluetooth to operate automatically when the hob is switched on, and shut off when the hob is not in use. This reduces the need for users to touch the control panel with greasy hands or hassle free for those who tend to forget turn on/off the kitchen hood.
Complementing the hood are the HC-Q893STGB, HC-Q872PTGB, and HC-Q872PTDG hobs. They feature a Timer Setting which automatically shuts off gas supply once the timer runs out to avoid potential hazardous accidents. It also helps with slow-cooking foods such as porridge or soups as users need not worry about forgetting to turn off the hob that may lead to dry burns or other accidents.
Another useful feature is the Flexible Cut-out Size which enables the changing of hobs without having to alter their cabinet cut-out size. This makes it easy for users who wish to change their existing hobs with a new one as they do not have to worry about exact dimensions.
