With dozens of ENERY STAR® qualified models, GE wall air conditioners and window air conditioners are among the most energy-efficient air conditioners available.

Before you buy:

Measure the square footage of the room or rooms to be cooled. If an exact match of cooling capacity is not possible, it is preferable to select a unit which is slightly undersize in BTUs, rather than oversize.

If the area to be cooled includes a kitchen, add an additional 4000 BTU/hr.

When sizing larger living areas, it is usually better to use at least two air conditioners rather than one large unit. Doing so offers better air distribution which reduces the likelihood of hot and cold spots.
