GE Profile AHTR10ACH2

The GE Profile AHTR10ACH2 is certified at 483 kWh per year (based on 750 standardized hours), roughly $88 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 9% under the median room air conditioner, ranked 158 of 439. The same unit costs $63 a year in Nevada but $254 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
