A good fit if…
- Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 10,400 BTU/h at 5°F.
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
Think twice if…
- You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the GE Appliances ASH112PRDB?
- The GE Appliances ASH112PRDB is rated at up to 23.0 SEER2 and 12.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
- Is the GE Appliances ASH112PRDB good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 10,400 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.80, so it is still 1.8 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the GE Appliances ASH112PRDB cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $247-$758 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $318 in Phoenix and $644 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Is the GE Appliances ASH112PRDB the same as the Haier 1U12AP2HD?
- Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists both model numbers with identical efficiency, capacity and matchups, which means the same outdoor unit sold under a different brand or with a minor variant code (voltage, colour or region). The full list is on this page.
- Which indoor units work with the GE Appliances ASH112PRDB?
- ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses ASYW12PRDB.
- What refrigerant does the GE Appliances ASH112PRDB use?
- It uses R-410A. R-410A is being phased down under the EPA AIM Act, and new systems are moving to R-454B and R-32.
