Published Specifications
Failure to be Listed in the NRCan Searchable Product List
In Canada, all air-conditioning and heat-pump systems must be listed in the NRCan database. In fact, it is illegal to import or sell a unit that is not listed. At the time of this publication, March 16, 2026, the Silktech EcoAuro 1.0 is not listed in the NRCan Searchable Product List.
Failure to Meet NRCan Minimum Efficiency Requirements
Silktech EcoAuro 1.0 has a published rated capacity of 8,000 BTU in its brochure. Under federal law, any 8,000 BTU heat pump in this class must meet a 13.4 SEER2 or 9.3 CEER minimum to be legally sold, installed, or used in Canada. The Silktech EcoAuro 1.0 doesn’t publish a SEER2 or CEER value in its documentation because the unit cannot meet the required 13.4 SEER2 or CEER when tested in a certified lab.
Illegal Rating
Silktech uses the wrong rating metric in their published documentation, EER instead of SEER2 or CEER, COP2 instead of HSPF2. Silktech publishes only an EER for cooling and a COP for heating. Neither EER nor COP is a legal rating for this product category. For a heat pump, federal law requires:
This alone renders the units illegal.
Illegal Misclassification
By using an EER instead of SEER2, Silktech is classifying EcoAuro 1.0 as PTHP, but it does not meet the PTHP definition under the Energy Efficiency Regulations. A lawful PTHP must have a wall sleeve: a separate unencased chassis, and through-the-wall mounting. The Silktech EcoAuro 1.0 lacks these traits. Misclassifying the EcoAuro 1.0 as PTHP by using EER is a direct violation of NRCan rules and is illegal.
Miscalculated Performance Numbers
Silktech misrepresents even the fabricated numbers it publishes for Silktech EcoAuro 1.0 and EcoAuro 2.0 in both heating and cooling.
In Cooling
For the EcoAuro 1.0 model:
Using their own watt input: 8,000 ÷ 750 = EER 10.67. Yet, Silktech publishes 10.91 EER. They fraudulently list the cooling capacity as 8,000 BTU and the EER as 10.91. When calculating the numbers, the EER of 10.67 is illegal. Can’t these cheaters do simple math??!!
Fraudulent and Fake Numbers
The 8,000 BTU capacity they claim in printed brochures and technical documents, along with the 10.91 EER rating for the EcoAuro 1.0 model, is fake and fraudulent. When tested in a lab, this unit will not produce 8,000 BTU and a 10.91 EER. So, even ignoring the misclassification and wrong ratings, the actual numbers they claim are fake.
Somehow, this claimed 8,000 BTU of cooling increases to 8,831 BTU when Silktech fraudulently publishes the data on the MAEDBS website. In heating, Silktech pulls the same fraud, increasing the capacity from 8,000 to 8,800 BTU. Both numbers are fabricated.
Here’s where it gets interesting. The manufacturer, Zymbo (China), lists numbers that differ significantly from those in Silktech’s brochure for the same unit.
Zymbo claims the same unit, called Clima Puro, has a higher capacity of 8,831 BTU and a different efficiency of 10.6 EER. What’s even more fascinating is that Zymbo’s own internal calculations are inconsistent.
Here’s what Zymbo publishes:
Using their own watt input: 8,831 ÷ 750 = EER 11.77. Yet Zymbo, the manufacturer, publishes an EER of 10.6.
Using their own watt input: 8,800 ÷ 3.412 (BTU to W) ÷ 700 = 3.68 COP. Yet, Zymbo, the manufacturer, publishes 3.35 COP.
Zymbo is manipulating the numbers. The numbers they initially published were too good to be true, so they simply “dumbed down” the efficiency and presented lower efficiency values.
When Silktech published its own figures, it used the real (but still fake) numbers that Zymbo publishes when uploading data to the MAEDBS website, then set the minimum SEER2 to 13.4 to make the data appear compliant.
Regulatory Violation Summary
Silktech — EcoAuro 1.0
This product is illegal to distribute, specify, install, or use in the United States and Canada. Silktech’s published cooling and heating efficiency numbers are fabricated, mathematically impossible, and directly contradict what proper testing would show. The EcoAuro 1.0 fails to meet DOE and NRCan minimum efficiency requirements under every applicable classification. Where these products appear in official databases, they do so with falsified data, which compounds rather than resolves their violations.
One Million Dollar Guarantee
We back the statement that the EcoAuro 1.0 cannot legally be sold, installed, or used in the United States and Canada with a One Million Dollar Guarantee.
Minimum Efficiency Requirements Not Met
These ratings cannot be made up. They must be established through testing in a genuine laboratory under the correct DOE and NRCan test procedures. The fact that fabricated data has been submitted to official government databases does not constitute compliance — it constitutes fraud.
Database Status
Submitting falsified efficiency data to a government database is not a path to compliance. It is a separate and aggravated violation — constituting the filing of false information with a federal regulator.
