How we know it's one unit

Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, TAC-05CPD/DL5. 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 TAC-05CPD/DL5 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: SereneLife SLPAC8.

How much does the TAC-05CPD/DL5 cost to run?

5,300 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 6.2 is about 855 W while cooling. That's about 16¢ an hour, or $37.26 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 TAC-05CPD/DL5, and is it the same under every brand?

Who makes the DuraComfort DP08CD?: DOE's records don't say. The DuraComfort DP08CD is filed under basic model TAC-05CPD/DL5 along with the SereneLife SLPAC8. Neither brand files TAC-05CPD/DL5 itself as a model number, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
Is the DuraComfort DP08CD the same as the SereneLife SLPAC8?: Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model TAC-05CPD/DL5 and list the same certified figures: 5,300 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.2 and single hose.
Which brand of TAC-05CPD/DL5 is cheapest to run?: They tie: every brand files 5,300 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.2 and single hose, so each costs about 16¢ an hour to run while cooling.
