      A good fit if…

      • You want to plug it into an ordinary outlet - it runs on 115 V.

      Think twice if…

      • Running cost matters most - its CEER is below average for 14,000-15,000 BTU window air conditioners.
      • You plan to install it alone - at 103 lb it is a two-person job.
      • You also need heat - it cools only.

      Questions6
      How many square feet does the GE Profile AHTR14AC cool?
      At 13,500 BTU/h it suits a room of about 450 to 700 sq ft with normal sun and two people, following the ENERGY STAR sizing guide. In a heavily shaded room that stretches to about 495-770 sq ft; in a very sunny one it shrinks to 405-630 sq ft. A kitchen needs 4,000 BTU more.
      How many watts and amps does the GE Profile AHTR14AC use?
      About 918 watts at full power (13,500 BTU/h divided by its CEER of 14.7), which is 8.0 amps at 115 V. That is 19 W less than the typical unit in its class (938 W), or $3 a year cheaper to run at 18.0¢/kWh. Its inverter compressor slows down instead of cycling, so real use is usually lower. Its CEER beats 27% of the 15 units in the class.
      Can the GE Profile AHTR14AC run on a standard outlet?
      Yes. It runs on 115 V and draws about 8.0 A, well inside a standard 15 A outlet, but do not share the circuit with a space heater, microwave or other big load. 13% of certified units in this class need 230 V, so a 115 V model is the easy case.
      What are the dimensions of the GE Profile AHTR14AC, and will it fit my window?
      10.6" W × 14" H × 19.9" D, 103 lb. It is narrower than 100% of its 14 competitors and lighter than 21% of them. The window must be wider than 10.6"; the side panels fill the remaining gap.
      Can the GE Profile AHTR14AC also heat the room?
      No, it only cools. If you also need heat, 0 certified units in this class can do both; see the list of air conditioners with heat.
      Is the GE Profile AHTR14AC worth buying to replace an old air conditioner?
      An old unit of the same size at 9 CEER would cost about $203 a year to run at 750 hours and 18.0¢/kWh; this one costs about $124, so it saves roughly $79 a year.

      Power draw is capacity divided by CEER, which already includes standby power. Inverter units often run below full power, so real use can be lower. Electricity prices: U.S. EIA residential averages (12 months to July 2026). Days a year start from your state's cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals).
