GE Appliances AWGP12W

The GE Appliances AWGP12W is certified at 625 kWh per year (based on 750 standardized hours), roughly $115 at the national average — though seasonal use means your real bill lands in a few months, not twelve. That's close to the middle of the certified pack — about 18% above the median room air conditioner, ranked 316 of 439. The same unit costs $82 a year in Nevada but $330 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
