Global home appliance leader Haier confirms the official launch of its appliance and product range in South Africa, to deliver a premium range of smart, energy-efficient home appliances to local households. As electricity costs continue to increase, with the threat of load shedding ever present, and water scarcity rising as a serious concern, Haier offers a smart alternative that combines innovation, efficiency and everyday practicality.
With a strong global reputation and 17 consecutive years as the number one major appliances brand by retail sales volume, Haier enters the South African market with a clear focus on energy-saving technology, intelligent design and long-term value.
Founded in 1984, Haier Group operates across multiple global ecosystems, with extensive research and development capabilities, and a presence in more than 200 countries. The official South African media launch will take place in Johannesburg on 2 February 2026, showcasing the company’s full range of smart home appliances. Haier products will soon be available at leading South African retailers, shortly thereafter.
Any members of the media wishing to attend the physical launch in Johannesburg, are welcome to share their details – although seats are limited, and will be provided to those who confirm their availability and attendance asap.
Smart Appliances Built for South African Living
Haier’s product range has been developed with real-world conditions in mind. Many of its appliances deliver up to 60% electricity savings compared to traditional models, making them well suited to a country where energy efficiency is no longer optional.
From inverter-driven refrigerators and high-efficiency washing machines to heat pump tumble dryers and smart air conditioners, each product is designed to reduce power and water consumption without compromising performance. Intelligent sensors, smart diagnostics and quiet operation help simplify daily life while keeping running costs under control.
Water-efficient washing machines address ongoing water scarcity, while smart air conditioners provide intelligent climate control and air purification for healthier indoor living.
Premium Design Meets Practical Innovation
Positioned as a premium aspirational brand, Haier blends modern aesthetics with practical functionality. The focus is not on unnecessary features, but on smart technology that works quietly in the background to improve comfort, efficiency and reliability.
For South African consumers looking beyond established appliance brands, Haier presents a compelling option that balances quality, sustainability and smart living.
Strong After-Sales Support in South Africa
Haier has established a comprehensive after-sales ecosystem locally, including a national service network, approved installers in major metros and a 48-hour response target. With reliable spare parts availability and extended warranty options, Haier aims to offer peace of mind to households investing in long-term home solutions.
