K�hl KCVM24B30B

The K�hl KCVM24B30B is certified at 1,246 kWh per year (based on 750 standardized hours), roughly $229 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 134% more than the median room air conditioner (rank 409 of 439) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. Where you live moves the bill from $163 a year in Nevada to $657 in Hawaii. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
