How we know it's one unit

Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, TAC-12CHPD/DM1SGBp. 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-12CHPD/DM1SGBp 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 SLACHT168.

How much does the TAC-12CHPD/DM1SGBp cost to run?

12,000 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 12.3 is about 976 W while cooling. That's about 18¢ an hour, or $42.52 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-12CHPD/DM1SGBp, and is it the same under every brand?

Who makes the Temprium PAC013-16K?: DOE's records don't say. The Temprium PAC013-16K is filed under basic model TAC-12CHPD/DM1SGBp along with the SereneLife SLACHT168. Neither brand files TAC-12CHPD/DM1SGBp itself as a model number, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
Is the Temprium PAC013-16K the same as the SereneLife SLACHT168?: Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model TAC-12CHPD/DM1SGBp and list the same certified figures: 12,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 12.3 and dual hose.
Which brand of TAC-12CHPD/DM1SGBp is cheapest to run?: They tie: every brand files 12,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 12.3 and dual hose, so each costs about 18¢ an hour to run while cooling.
