How efficient are Hotpoint window ACs?

Of the 3 Hotpoint window ACs, none files a higher CEER than the class median: 3 match it.

Hotpoint window ACs against the median CEER (Btu/Wh) of their DOE class. DOE data as of 2026-11-03.
DOE class	Hotpoint models	Above median	Class median	Best Hotpoint
Window ACs, less than 6,000 BTU/h (24)	2	0	CEER 13.1	HWH05E**** CEER 13.1
Window ACs, 6,000 to 7,999 BTU/h (45)	1	0	CEER 13.7	HWH06E**** CEER 13.7

A higher CEER means more cooling per watt.

Who makes Hotpoint window ACs?

DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the evidence is whose model number each unit is filed under and which other brands file the same unit.

How much does a Hotpoint window AC cost to run?

While cooling, Hotpoint window ACs draw about 370 to 630 W (DOE's listed power input). That's 7¢ to 11¢ an hour, or $16.13 to $27.46 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is Hotpoint HWH05M**** (5,000 BTU/h, CEER 13.1) and the highest Hotpoint HWH06E**** (6,000 BTU/h, CEER 13.7).

At 18.16¢ per kWh, the US average residential price for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Worked out from the certified figures.

Questions about Hotpoint

Is Hotpoint a good window AC brand?: How its 3 window ACs compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. 3 of them are the same unit as another brand's model. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
How big a room will a Hotpoint window AC cool?: Its models certify 5,000 to 6,000 BTU/h, which ENERGY STAR's sizing chart puts at 150 to 250 sq ft.
Which Hotpoint window AC is the most efficient for its size?: Hotpoint HWH06E****, at CEER 13.7: tied with 28 others for the lowest of the 45 in its DOE class (window ACs, 6,000 to 7,999 BTU/h). At the other end are Hotpoint HWH05E**** and Hotpoint HWH05M****, at CEER 13.1, 2 of the 14 tied for the lowest of the 24 in its class.
Is Hotpoint the same as GE?: For 3 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (AWT05E***1, AWT05M***1 and AWT06E***1). Compare the 3 brands of AWT05E***1. Compare the 3 brands of AWT05M***1. Compare the 3 brands of AWT06E***1.
