How we know it's one unit
Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, E070. 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. AprilAire files E070 itself as one of its model numbers. The other 2 brands file under it with their own numbers.
Brands may still differ in color, controls, accessories, warranty and support. Full record and every model number: AprilAire E070.
How much does the E070 cost to run?
53 pints/day at an IEF of 1.77 L/kWh takes 14.17 kWh a day running nonstop at DOE's test conditions: about $2.57 a day, or $77.19 for 30 days. Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so that's the upper figure for a day of nonstop running.
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 E070, and is it the same under every brand?
- Who makes the Anden A70?
- The Anden A70 is filed with DOE under basic model E070, which is AprilAire's own model number. That makes AprilAire the filer of record, though DOE's database has no manufacturer field to say who builds it.
- Is the Anden A70 the same as the AprilAire E070?
- Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model E070 and list the same certified figures: 53 pints/day and IEF 1.77.
- Which brand of E070 is cheapest to run?
- They tie: every brand files 53 pints/day and IEF 1.77, so each costs about $2.57 a day to run nonstop at DOE's test conditions.
