Friedrich KHVM24B34A

The Friedrich KHVM24B34A is certified at 1,363 kWh per year (based on 750 standardized hours), roughly $257 at the national average — though seasonal use means your real bill lands in a few months, not twelve. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 156% more than the median room air conditioner (rank 385 of 396) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $168 a year in North Dakota but $635 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
