Hello all,

I bought a small 5200BTU window A/C this weekend and, frankly, did not
care to look at the Energy Star label on it. Now, I put it in and in the
process had to remove the label that said something to the tune of
worst energy efficiency: 9.7
best energy efficiency: 11.2
this unit's efficiency: 9.7

Well, I guess I bought the worst I could. So the question then becomes
whether the low efficiency is due to the small size or I should have spent
more than $100 on a 5200BTU window A/C unit?

Can anyone recommend a model that claims to be closer to the 11.2 that the
Energy Star label advertized?

Thanks!
D~

        Not that you can afford, no.

???
I guess, being an industry insider makes it hard to imagine how ignorant
people can be of the stuff that you deal with day in and day out. I am
still in the dark about what would a reasonable cost of a smal 5200BTU
energy efficient window A/C unit be. If there is such thing on the market,
of course. I still have one more room that does not have a central air
duct coming in...
