As early as the 1990s, air conditioners were not fully popularized, and the cooling and heating functions attracted consumers' attention. Until 1998, Haier Air Conditioning introduced negative ion technology into China, which triggered a "healthy movement" in the air conditioning industry.
Health air conditioning really entered the public eye in 2002-2003. In 2002, Haier introduced the DC variable frequency oxygen bar air conditioner which is easy to disassemble for the first time. In the spring of 2003, the epidemic situation of SARS spread rapidly, and the market demand for air conditioners with health functions such as ventilation, sterilization and oxygenation expanded rapidly, thus pushing the sales of Haier "oxygen bar" air conditioners to an unprecedented height.
Under the inspiration of Haier oxygen bar air conditioner, since the freezing year of 2004, more manufacturers have put resources on the research and development and promotion of healthy air conditioners. Haier continuously and systematically promotes the industry from air conditioning to air quality regulation by tapping demand, technology research and development, product iteration and setting standards.

On August 3, 20 15, Haier released the only air conditioner in the industry that can realize self-cleaning under dual modes of cooling and heating.
With the rise of the middle class in China, the awareness of health is constantly improving, consumption is escalating, and a more diversified and higher-level market is born. It is urgent to produce more high-end, healthier and smarter products to meet the emerging demand.
Attracted by the "forced" industrial background and new cakes, home appliance enterprises have stepped up product innovation to open up new market space for personalized needs. Driven by a series of factors of the times, healthy air conditioning has become the highlight of the market segment.
According to incomplete statistics, at least six air-conditioning companies in the market claim that their products have self-cleaning function. Haier's "healthy" self-cleaning air conditioner and its good market effect have once again triggered the mainstream brands in the industry to follow suit and imitate. At the same time, it proves once again that under the new normal of the industry, based on the value war of product innovation, user "neurons" can be truly stirred.
