What actually decides this purchase
We publish 75 units at 10,000 BTU. They run within $27 a year of each other — but they sell for $351 to $631, a 1.8× spread. Efficiency is not what decides this purchase at 10,000 BTU; price, noise and whether it fits your window are. Here is where this unit lands.
We have no tracked price for this unit, so here is the rule instead. At 10,000 BTU the field runs $351 to $631, median $440, and every one of them runs within $27 a year of every other — so price is the decision and efficiency is the tiebreak. On the certified specs we do hold, this one ranks 23rd of 75 in its class. If the price you are quoted is above $440, buy something else. Worth comparing against the PHILODECO PIWC-10CRD1(ES) at $351 and the Friedrich CCV10A10A at 32 dBA for $619.
Price
Not tracked
We have no verified retail listing for this model. Units at this size run $351–$631.
Noise
Not published
The maker publishes no dBA figure we could verify, and noise is not part of the DOE certification. It is the most common complaint about window units, so treat its absence as a real unknown.
Window fit
Measure first
No trustworthy cabinet width on this unit's record, so we will not state a fit range.
Circuit
Standard 115V
Plugs into a normal outlet — no electrician.
We do not have price or noise or window fit for this unit and will not estimate them. Everything above that carries a number is from a certification record or the manufacturer's own published sheet.

Worth keeping in proportion: every unit in the 10,000 BTU class runs within $27 a year of every other. The gap between the cheapest and dearest to buy at this size is 10× larger. Efficiency is the smallest number on this page, which is why it is not at the top of it.

Frequently asked questions
Is 10,000 BTU right for my room, or should I size up?
About 450 square feet is the guide figure, and 75 certified units sit on that shelf. The next shelf up is 11,000 BTU (4 units), about 450 sq ft. Below it, 9,000 BTU (6 units) covers about 400 sq ft. Between two shelves, take the smaller one: oversizing is the usual reason a unit cools but leaves the room clammy, which our sizing calculator explains.
Will the Noma iQ 143-0088-2 fit my window?
We can't give you one answer honestly. 2 certification records exist for this model and they list different cabinet dimensions, so we don't publish a single figure. The records list 19" wide × 13" tall × 19" deep (certified June 21, 2024), and 19" wide × 15" tall × 22" deep (certified November 20, 2023). Measure your opening, then confirm the dimensions against the exact unit the seller is shipping before you buy.
Sources. Certification and CEER from ENERGY STAR room-AC data and the DOE compliance certification database. Cooling capacity, dimensions and refrigerant are the manufacturer-certified values. Annual running cost, suggested room size and the percentile are computed by Verified HVAC Data from published ratings and EIA U.S. average electricity prices — see our methodology. Refrigerant GWP is the IPCC value. We publish no star ratings and take no payment for placement. "Not published" means the source registry doesn't disclose it — we never fill a spec with a guess.
