GE Profile PHNT12CCH1
The GE Profile PHNT12CCH1 is certified at 622 kWh per year (based on 750 standardized hours), roughly $117 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 17% above the median room air conditioner, ranked 283 of 396. The same unit costs $77 a year in North Dakota but $290 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
