Registered with the same figures as SONA SACN 6282, TCL TAC-09CPD/DM*, TAC-09CPD/DM4. On paper they are the same machine.
Cheaper systems the same size

Looking at the EGAC10E8UV for your home?
This is a plug-in appliance rather than an installed system, so there is little to settle beyond the unit itself.
What to pin down before you commit
- Where the exhaust hose runs, which decides most of how well it performs
- Whether the room is realistically within its range
Figures are NEA energy-label records checked 17 Sept 2026, priced at the label's 27¢/kWh assumption. Your own bill depends on how you actually use it. Look up a fault code if one is already installed. Compare every registered model, or read more on EuropAce systems. Common aircon problems have their own pages.
