How we know it's one unit
Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, SRCOOL12KE. 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. Both brands file SRCOOL12KE 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: Eaton SRCOOL12KE.
How much does the SRCOOL12KE cost to run?
9,250 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 7.6 is about 1,217 W while cooling. That's about 22¢ an hour, or $53.05 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 SRCOOL12KE, and is it the same under every brand?
- Who makes the Tripp Lite SRCOOL12KE?
- DOE's records don't say. The Tripp Lite SRCOOL12KE is filed under basic model SRCOOL12KE along with the Eaton SRCOOL12KE. Both brands file that same number as their model, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
- Is the Tripp Lite SRCOOL12KE the same as the Eaton SRCOOL12KE?
- Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model SRCOOL12KE and list the same certified figures: 9,250 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.6 and single hose.
- Which brand of SRCOOL12KE is cheapest to run?
- They tie: every brand files 9,250 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.6 and single hose, so each costs about 22¢ an hour to run while cooling.
