How we know it's one unit
Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, WAP23A100FH. 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. No brand files WAP23A100FH itself as a model number. It's the code DOE uses to tie their filings together.
Brands may still differ in color, controls, accessories, warranty and support. Full record and every model number: AERIC AERP101AW.
How much does the WAP23A100FH cost to run?
10,000 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 7.8 is about 1,282 W while cooling. That's about 23¢ an hour, or $55.88 for 30 days at 8 hours a day.
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.

Who makes the WAP23A100FH, and is it the same under every brand?
- Who makes the Whirlpool WHNP141AW?
- DOE's records don't say. The Whirlpool WHNP141AW is filed under basic model WAP23A100FH along with the AERIC AERP101AW. Neither brand files WAP23A100FH itself as a model number, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
- Is the Whirlpool WHNP141AW the same as the AERIC AERP101AW?
- Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model WAP23A100FH and list the same certified figures: 10,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.8 and single hose.
- Which brand of WAP23A100FH is cheapest to run?
- They tie: every brand files 10,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.8 and single hose, so each costs about 23¢ an hour to run while cooling.
