How we know it's one unit

Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, A010L-8K. 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 17 brands file A010L-8K 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: Antarctic Star A010L-8K.

How much does the A010L-8K cost to run?

5,250 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 6.6 is about 795 W while cooling. That's about 14¢ an hour, or $34.67 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 A010L-8K, and is it the same under every brand?

Who makes the Auseo A010L-8K?: DOE's records don't say. The Auseo A010L-8K is filed under basic model A010L-8K along with 16 other brands. All of them file that same number as their model, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
Is the Auseo A010L-8K the same as the Antarctic Star A010L-8K?: Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model A010L-8K and list the same certified figures: 5,250 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.6 and single hose.
Which brand of A010L-8K is cheapest to run?: They tie: every brand files 5,250 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.6 and single hose, so each costs about 14¢ an hour to run while cooling.
