Comparing Midea's own models
Midea makes 161 ENERGY STAR certified room air conditioners; this one ranks 142 of 161 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the MWEUWA-05CRFN8-BCN4 at $49/yr, and its priciest, the MWCUWH-24CRFN8-MCM3 at $254/yr.
What this adds up to over time
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical room air conditioner's service life at 10 years; run the Midea MAT14R2FWTK that long and it costs about $1,420 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Shopping for a new one
The Midea MAT14R2FWTK runs above its category average. If the room air conditioner you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $142/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
The Midea MAT14R2FWTK already costs $142/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
