What does the Midea MAT10R2FWTK cost to run per year?

The Midea MAT10R2FWTK costs about $99 a year to run, a middle-of-the-pack figure at rank #198 of 404. It uses 47% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $186/yr to run, a saving of roughly $87 a year. Its 51th size-adjusted efficiency percentile is unremarkable, close to what a typical model in the class scores. At a CEER of 14.1, its combined energy efficiency ratio is the single figure that best explains how it earns its running-cost number.

Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Midea MAT10R1SWTK at $99/yr runs a little cheaper and the Midea MAT10R2SWTK at $99/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A room air conditioner typically stays in service for somewhere around 10 years; over that span, the Midea MAT10R2FWTK's $99/yr adds up to roughly $990 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

What it costs you over time

Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $99/yr, here is what the Midea MAT10R2FWTK adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.

1 year$99
5 years$495
10 years$990

Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Midea MAT10R2FWTK costs about $990. That is roughly $870 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $1860 over the same ten years.

How the Midea MAT10R2FWTK compares

The room air conditioner class we track runs from $51 to $389 a year. At $99/yr, it sits right on the class median of $99, and it is about $48 a year more than the cheapest room air conditioner to run at $51. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $186/yr, the Midea MAT10R2FWTK uses 47% less energy.

What drives its running cost

At 10000 BTU/hr, the Midea MAT10R2FWTK is a small room air conditioner for its class, which spans 5000 to 34100 BTU/hr with a median of 10100 BTU/hr, less capacity to service is usually the first reason a running-cost figure lands on the low side, before efficiency even enters the picture. Its CEER of 14.1, below the class median of 15, reflects combined energy efficiency ratio: a higher figure means it wrings more useful work out of every kilowatt-hour, so it is the efficiency lever to weigh against raw size.

  • Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio (CEER). CEER captures cooling output per watt, including standby power; a higher CEER means less electricity for the same BTU of cooling.
  • BTU cooling capacity. A higher-BTU unit is sized for a bigger room and generally uses more electricity per hour of operation than a smaller unit, regardless of efficiency.
  • Thermostat and mode usage. Running on a fixed low temperature around the clock uses far more energy than using a thermostat setting, eco mode, or a timer to match cooling to when the room is actually occupied.

Common questions

Is the Midea MAT10R2FWTK cheap to run?

It is about average. At $99 a year it ranks #198 of 404 room air conditioner models we track, close to the middle of its class on running cost.

How much does the Midea MAT10R2FWTK cost per month?

Roughly $8.23/mo, spreading the $99/yr estimate evenly across twelve months at $0.1856/kWh. Actual monthly bills swing with your rate and usage pattern.

How is this running-cost figure calculated?

We take the model's published annual energy use of 532 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $99 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.

How efficient is the Midea MAT10R2FWTK for its size?

51st percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
