Class 1 home appliance refund application period
Class 1 home appliance refund is a business that has been in effect since April 23, 2021. 좋은뉴스
It is said that the business does not end in 2021 and will continue to be implemented in 2022, so it is a situation where you can receive benefits in 2022 as well.
There is no set period for the Class 1 home appliance refund project, but you only need to check your budget carefully because you can apply only if you have remaining budget.
As of the end of December 2021, seeing that more than 50% of the remaining budget remains, I would like to not have to worry about the budget for a while in 2022.
Class 1 Home Appliance Refund – Remaining Budget
More than 50% of the business has been in operation for about 8 months, so I guess it will be okay until July or August next year.
Reimbursable Appliance Items
Before searching for products, let’s first look at which product lines are eligible for refund.
The program offers rebates on 11 home appliance items, each with a different energy efficiency rating.
Not all of them are Tier 1, some items are up to Tier 3, so please check carefully to see which items are supported.
Item class application standard effective date

Looking at the table above, you can see that some air conditioners and washing machines can be supported up to a maximum of 3 and 2, respectively.
Wall-mounted air conditioners must be grade 1, but other types, including stand-alone types, can be supported up to grade 3, and washing machines can be refunded even for grade 2 products in the case of upholstery.
Most large electronics are included, but dishwashers and ovens are not.
Also, note that only wired vacuum cleaners are eligible for refund, but wireless vacuum cleaners that are used a lot these days are not eligible for refund.
The energy efficiency rating is important, but the effective date of the application standard on the right side of the table is also very important.
All electronic products should have a label like the one below,
If you look at this label, the energy consumption efficiency rating is indicated, and the effective date of the application standard is also indicated at the bottom.
