Check November-dated air conditioner search menus and model combinations
Key Takeaway
The Korea Energy Agency lists three air conditioner menus marked 26.11.1~. Record the indoor and outdoor unit models before searching. The date alone does not establish a grade change for existing products.

Which menus carry the November date?
The mark appears on home multi-type cooling, multi-type cooling, and multi-type heating and cooling air conditioner menus. This was checked on the KEA category page on October 19, 2026. The existing cooling and heating/cooling menus remain separate.
The mark alone does not mean every air conditioner's grade changes at once or every currently sold unit must appear in the new menus. Distinguish the menu information from the rules applicable to an individual product. KEA cautions that efficiency can differ with manufacture date, measurement methods and standards.
How do the home multi-type and multi-type search fields differ?
They use different model reference fields. The home multi-type page identifies the main indoor unit; the two multi-type pages identify the outdoor unit.
| KEA search menu | Model field | Other fields to check |
|---|---|---|
| Home multi-type cooling | Main indoor unit | Combination conditions, rated cooling capacity, efficiency grade |
| Multi-type cooling | Outdoor unit | Tested combination conditions, rated cooling capacity, efficiency grade |
| Multi-type heating and cooling | Outdoor unit | Tested combination conditions, cooling and heating capacities, separate cooling and heating grades |
The table abbreviates the column names checked on the three KEA pages on October 19. Cooling and heating capacity use W. A similar name does not make capacity interchangeable with power consumption.
Where combination conditions are shown, a matching model code is only part of the check. Compare the ordered components with the registered combination. Use the manufacturer's component and installation information to establish whether units share an outdoor unit. Buying separate standalone sets does not establish that they can connect to the same outdoor unit.
What if the new lists contain no registered rows?
All three lists showed zero results when opened on October 19. That search state is not a performance judgment. You cannot assign a grade or energy-use figure from a row that is absent.
Look for the model under the existing categories and obtain the supplied unit's label and manufacture date. If the applicable category or registered model is unclear, send the manufacturer the set code and both unit codes. A missing search result alone does not establish poor efficiency or a registration violation.
How different can a set code and its component codes be?
Even the final characters can differ. These two existing candidates illustrate the manufacturer's component codes. This does not establish that either is registered in the new home multi-type list.
| Retail set code | Manufacturer's indoor unit | Manufacturer's outdoor unit | Cooling area |
|---|---|---|---|
| SQ06EZ1WBS | SQ06EZ1WBN | SQ06EZAU | 18.7㎡ |
| FQ18FV3EE1 | FQ18FV3EEN | FQ24FNFU | 58.5㎡ |
The component lists and specifications on both LG pages were checked on October 19, 2026. LG marks FQ18FV3EE1 as discontinued and dates its lower product information to May 22, 2026. Retail stock and continued availability have not been established.
The candidates cover different areas. A wall-mounted option for a small room and a standalone floor-standing option for a larger space are not an efficiency comparison under equal conditions. If you need a home multi-type combination, these standalone set names do not establish the required configuration. Decide the space and configuration first, then check the label for that combination.
Which model codes should you obtain before ordering?
Obtain the retail set code and the full code for every component. After checking energy units in the existing air conditioner label guide, match the search row to your order.
- Record the indoor and outdoor unit codes included in the ordered set.
- Match the KEA model field and combination conditions.
- Check that the supplied unit's label and manufacture date correspond to the product you looked up.
- Send the same component list to the seller and manufacturer if discrepancies remain.
If a label photo illustrates a different combination, request the one for your order. If the quotation omits the indoor and outdoor unit codes, obtain the component list before looking up the product label.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does 26.11.1~ mean an existing air conditioner's grade will change?
The menu date alone does not establish a grade change. Check the supplied unit's manufacture date, label and corresponding registration.
Does a missing result in the new list mean poor efficiency?
No. The three lists had no registered rows when checked on October 19. An empty result does not establish a product's grade or performance.
Is the retail set code the same model code used in the KEA search?
It may differ. Find the indoor and outdoor unit codes in the manufacturer's component list and match them to the model field in the KEA table.
