How we know it's one unit

Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, A011E-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 A011E-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 A011E-8K.

How much does the A011E-8K cost to run?

8,300 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 10.7 is about 776 W while cooling. That's about 14¢ an hour, or $33.81 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 A011E-8K, and is it the same under every brand?

Who makes the Auseo A011E-8K?: DOE's records don't say. The Auseo A011E-8K is filed under basic model A011E-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 A011E-8K the same as the Antarctic Star A011E-8K?: Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model A011E-8K and list the same certified figures: 8,300 BTU/h SACC, CEER 10.7 and single hose.
Which brand of A011E-8K is cheapest to run?: They tie: every brand files 8,300 BTU/h SACC, CEER 10.7 and single hose, so each costs about 14¢ an hour to run while cooling.
