How we know it's one unit

Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, PAC-A018E-08KRH. DOE's definition of a basic model (10 CFR 430.2) covers "all units of a given type of covered product (or class thereof) manufactured by one manufacturer" with "the same primary energy source" and nearly identical "electrical, physical, and functional (or hydraulic) characteristics that affect energy consumption, energy efficiency, water consumption, or water efficiency." So one set of DOE figures covers every name on the list. All 3 brands file PAC-A018E-08KRH itself as their model number, so the number alone doesn't say which of them builds it.

Brands may still differ in color, controls, accessories, warranty and support. Full record and every model number: ACHIMCO PAC-A018E-08KRH.

How much does the PAC-A018E-08KRH cost to run?
