New Delhi, 31 March, 2021: Haier, the global leader in Home Appliances & Consumer Electronics and World's Number 1 brand in Major Appliances for 12 Consecutive Years*, augmented its AC line-up for the summer season with the launch of UVClean Pro. This air conditioner has been designed keeping in mind the growing needs for clean and fresh air while ensuring energy savings for the consumers. The new variant HSU18F-UVSW4B (INV) will be available in 1.5 Ton and 4 Star Rating.

With the rising threat of air pollution, aggravating the coronavirus disease, clean and healthy air has become a necessity and not a luxury in today's scenario. Understanding this need, Haier India has introduced UVC Sterilization in their new air conditioner which allows the consumers to breathe in clean and virus-free air. The newly launched AC eliminates all the airborne pollutants without leaving any harmful chemicals or residues behind. Equipped with built-in LED UV light, the air conditioner kills airborne hazards when the air circulates from the air inlet thereby delivering healthy air to a room.

The all-new UV Clean Pro also comes with a distinctive convertible feature that allows the user to reduce the AC's tonnage capacity from 1.5 ton to a minimum of 0.6 ton. This unique feature can be activated with just a press of the ECO button on the remote. This will help the users to choose the tonnage of the AC as per their requirement, resulting in more energy savings. Moreover, to avoid unexpected damages caused by voltage fluctuations, this AC comes fitted with a hyper PCB which maintains steady operation of the air conditioner even when voltage drops or increases suddenly.

With a vision to embrace the connected future, Haier's new AC is enabled with Wi-Fi and voice control. The Wi-Fi control feature lets the user turn on or switch off their AC even when they’re not around, physically. Not only this but one can control the climate of their room with just a click of a button on their smartphones using the ‘Haier Smart’ app. From the app, one would be able to perform a plethora of functions such as weekly timer, error alarm, enable group control, set reminders, pre-set sleep curve, and control the AC from anywhere.

Powered with a voice-enabled feature, the smart AC can be controlled by just a voice command. The all-new AC is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google assistant that enables one to interact with smart home devices more intuitively. The smart functions of the AC allow the consumers to customize the controls as per their needs and operate the air conditioner from anywhere and anytime, remotely.

Commenting on the launch of the new AC, Mr. Eric Braganza, President, Haier Appliances India said, “At Haier, we believe in designing products powered with innovative technologies that make our consumers' life simpler and more convenient. Our new UV Clean Pro air conditioner addresses a very big problem that Indians are facing today - air pollution, which is both an indoor and outdoor threat. With the launch of this new smart AC, we are fulfilling our commitment to provide our consumers with clean and breathable air. Apart from providing virus-free air, the new addition in our AC range will also keep our consumers cool even at a scorching heat of 60℃ degrees with optimized smart capabilities and connectivity. We endeavor to usher in a range of new age of smart technologies in the white goods space and our UV Clean Pro AC will deliver that and more.”

With Haier's Self Clean Technology, users can get a complete indoor wet wash with the press of a button. Once you activate the Self Clean feature, a frost is formed on the AC's evaporator which traps all the dust present on the coil. After some time, the frost melts and washes out all the dirt along with it in the form of Water out of the drain pipe. Through this, one gets an actual indoor wet wash to breathe clean & healthy Air.

Adding to its new offerings, the AC comes with Haier's Triple Inverter Plus that reaches desired temperature a lot quicker and adjusts DC voltage to achieve stable operation between 140V to 264V with ideal voltage control. In remote areas, users can enjoy cool air despite power fluctuations. This technology helps achieve smart control of the air conditioner and, in the meanwhile, maximize comfort, reliability and ensures highly efficient performance.

Furthermore, armed with a Micro Dust Filter, the AC removes dust, bacteria, and airborne virus from the air, protecting users from the risk of falling ill. Moreover, the AC is fitted with the best-in-class motor, optimized fan, and air duct which enable it to blow air as long as 15m. This unique feature helps in cooling the room faster while reaching extreme corners of the room. Additionally, the AC comes with Super Anti-Corrosion Protection which helps in keeping the AC rust-free.
