GE Profile AHTR14AC

Under the DOE test basis of 750 hours a year, the GE Profile AHTR14AC draws 689 kWh — about $130 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 310 of 396) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $85 a year in North Dakota but $321 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
