GE Profile AHTR14AC
Under the DOE test basis of 750 hours a year, the GE Profile AHTR14AC draws 689 kWh — about $126 at the U.S. average rate, concentrated in the months you actually run it. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 29% more than the median room air conditioner (rank 347 of 439) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $90 a year in Nevada but $363 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
