How much does a Kamlam portable AC cost to run?

While cooling, Kamlam portable ACs draw about 696 to 1,266 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 13¢ to 23¢ an hour, or $30.32 to $55.17 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is Kamlam KAMCEC08AC-BP1 (8,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 11.5) and the highest Kamlam KAMCEC1AC (10,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.9).

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 Kamlam

Is Kamlam a good portable AC brand?: How its 47 portable ACs compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. 4 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 Kamlam portable AC cool?: Its models certify 8,000 to 12,000 BTU/h SACC, which ENERGY STAR's sizing chart puts at 350 to 550 sq ft. 12 were tested dual hose and 35 single hose. SACC and the BTU figure on the box.
Which Kamlam portable AC is the most efficient for its size?: Kamlam KAMCEC1AC, Kamlam KAMCEC1AC-A1, Kamlam KAMCEC1AC-A2 and 12 more tie at CEER 7.9: higher than 738 of the 1,044 single hose portable ACs certified to DOE. At the other end are Kamlam KAMCEC08AC-BP1, Kamlam KAMCEC08AC-BP2, Kamlam KMCEC08AC-BP1 and 1 more, at CEER 11.5, higher than 42 of the 334 in its class.
Is Kamlam the same as Agtana?: For 4 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (YAC-08CHPD/PL4, YAC-08CPD/PE1, YAC-08CPD/PL2 and YAC-08CPD/PL4). The other 43 Kamlam basic models aren't filed by Agtana.
