Power while cooling: From the maximum cooling draw its retailer lists for this exact model. An hour's cost is at that draw and the US average electricity price of 18.44¢/kWh (U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electric Power Monthly Table 5.6.A (residential average, May 2026)). The compressor cycles once the room is cool, so most hours cost less.

Hourly heating cost: At the rated heating output and the US average electricity price of 18.44¢/kWh (U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electric Power Monthly Table 5.6.A (residential average, May 2026)). A thermostat cycles the heat, so most hours cost less. A heat pump's output and advantage shrink as it gets colder outside, and one with an electric back-up heater draws far more while that runs.

What is good

Heats as well as cools, which 31 of the 151 window units we list offer.
Uses R-32 (GWP 675), the low-GWP class new US residential equipment moved to.

Installation & the rules that apply

This is a window unit. No EPA Section 608 technician is needed: the refrigerant circuit is factory-sealed and never opened. A plug-in window unit needs no permit, so the friction is with your building rather than the government. Many HOAs restrict window units on appearance grounds, though an HOA regulating how you mount one stands on much firmer ground than one banning cooling outright. Landlords can set conditions, and the falling hazard is taken seriously: New York City, for instance, requires window units to be supported by brackets or mounting rails, and many building insurers and HOAs now require a bracket regardless of city.
