How much does the TCL W5WC72 cost to run?

About 7¢ an hour of cooling, or $16.56 for 30 days at 8 hours a day (less once the compressor cycles off).

DOE's record lists 380 W of electrical input while cooling. Electricity at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Each 1¢/kWh you pay above or below 18.16¢ moves the 8 hour figure by 3¢.

How does the TCL W5WC72 rank in its DOE class?

Its DOE class (window ACs, less than 6,000 BTU/h) has 24 models certified to DOE. Its CEER of 13.7 is tied for 9th of the 24, and 5% above their median of 13.1.

Questions

How big a room does it cool?
About 150 sq ft. ENERGY STAR's sizing chart calls for 5,000 BTU/h in rooms up to 150 sq ft. A sunny room, a kitchen or a high ceiling needs more.
How much does the TCL W5WC72 cost to run for 8 hours?
About 55¢ for 8 hours of cooling: roughly 380 W at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).
