How we know it's one unit

Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, AM-10C6A3/QAR3DI-G8. 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 AM-10C6A3/QAR3DI-G8 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: Antarctic Star AC7290-10K.

How much does the AM-10C6A3/QAR3DI-G8 cost to run?

5,500 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 7.9 is about 696 W while cooling. That's about 13¢ an hour, or $30.34 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 AM-10C6A3/QAR3DI-G8, and is it the same under every brand?

Who makes the Electactic AC7290-10K?
DOE's records don't say. The Electactic AC7290-10K is filed under basic model AM-10C6A3/QAR3DI-G8 along with 5 other brands. No brand files AM-10C6A3/QAR3DI-G8 itself as a model number, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
Is the Electactic AC7290-10K the same as the Antarctic Star AC7290-10K?
Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model AM-10C6A3/QAR3DI-G8 and list the same certified figures: 5,500 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.9 and single hose.
Which brand of AM-10C6A3/QAR3DI-G8 is cheapest to run?
They tie: every brand files 5,500 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.9 and single hose, so each costs about 13¢ an hour to run while cooling.
