GE Profile AHTR10ACH2

The GE Profile AHTR10ACH2 is certified at 483 kWh per year (based on 750 standardized hours), roughly $91 at the national average — though seasonal use means your real bill lands in a few months, not twelve. That's 9% less than the median certified room air conditioner, placing it comfortably in the efficient third of the field (139 of 396). The same unit costs $60 a year in North Dakota but $225 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
