How we know it's one unit

Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, NPH-10C/X1E. 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 19 brands file NPH-10C/X1E 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: AIR CHOICE NPH-10C/X1E.

How much does the NPH-10C/X1E cost to run?

10,200 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 7.9 is about 1,291 W while cooling. That's about 23¢ an hour, or $56.27 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 NPH-10C/X1E, and is it the same under every brand?

Who makes the Antarctic Star NPH-10C/X1E?
DOE's records don't say. The Antarctic Star NPH-10C/X1E is filed under basic model NPH-10C/X1E along with 18 other brands. All of them file that same number as their model, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
Is the Antarctic Star NPH-10C/X1E the same as the AIR CHOICE NPH-10C/X1E?
Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model NPH-10C/X1E and list the same certified figures: 10,200 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.9 and single hose.
Which brand of NPH-10C/X1E is cheapest to run?
They tie: every brand files 10,200 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.9 and single hose, so each costs about 23¢ an hour to run while cooling.
