A higher CEER means more cooling per watt.

Who makes KOVIET portable 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.

None of the 2 KOVIET basic models is filed by another brand as of 2026-11-03, and none uses another company's model number. DOE's records tie them to KOVIET alone.

How much does a KOVIET portable AC cost to run?

While cooling, KOVIET portable ACs draw about 1,096 to 1,266 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 20¢ to 23¢ an hour, or $47.76 to $55.17 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is KOVIET A1 (8,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.3) and the highest KOVIET A2 (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.

How does KOVIET A2 compare with other brands?
