Friedrich KHVM24B34A

The Friedrich KHVM24B34A is certified at 1,363 kWh per year (based on 750 standardized hours), roughly $250 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 428 of 439) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $179 a year in Nevada but $719 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.

Uses 35% less energy than the U.S. federal minimum
