Seasons SW24V2

The Seasons SW24V2 is certified at 1,304 kWh per year (based on 750 standardized hours), roughly $239 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 145% more than the median room air conditioner (rank 414 of 439) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. Where you live moves the bill from $171 a year in Nevada to $688 in Hawaii. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
