How we know it's one unit
Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, NPP-
Brands may still differ in color, controls, accessories, warranty and support. Full record and every model number: NEPO NPP-05C/X1E.
How much does the NPP-05C/X1E cost to run?
5,000 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 6.3 is about 794 W while cooling. That's about 14¢ an hour, or $34.59 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 NPP-05C/X1E, and is it the same under every brand?
- Who makes the Antarctic Star NPPB2A-05C/X1E?
- DOE's records don't say. The Antarctic Star NPPB2A-05C/X1E is filed under basic model NPP-05C/X1E along with 16 other brands. 3 of them file that same number as their model, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
- Is the Antarctic Star NPPB2A-05C/X1E the same as the NEPO NPP***-05C/X1E?
- Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model NPP-05C/X1E and list the same certified figures: 5,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.3 and single hose.
- Which brand of NPP-05C/X1E is cheapest to run?
- They tie: every brand files 5,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.3 and single hose, so each costs about 14¢ an hour to run while cooling.
