A higher CEER means more cooling per watt.

Who makes GE Profile window ACs?

DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the evidence is whose model number each unit is filed under and which other brands file the same unit.

GE Profile shares 4 units with one other brand, GE.

GE Profile units filed under one DOE basic model with other brands. DOE data as of 2026-11-03.

How much does a GE Profile window AC cost to run?

While cooling, GE Profile window ACs draw about 670 to 1,070 W (DOE's listed power input). That's 12¢ to 19¢ an hour, or $29.20 to $46.63 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is GE Profile PWJV08W*** (8,000 BTU/h, CEER 16) and the highest GE Profile PWJV12W**2 (12,000 BTU/h, CEER 16).

At 18.16¢ per kWh, the US average residential price for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Worked out from the certified figures.

Questions about GE Profile

Is GE Profile a good window AC brand?
How its 4 window ACs compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. 4 of them are the same unit as another brand's model. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
How big a room will a GE Profile window AC cool?
Its models certify 8,000 to 12,000 BTU/h, which ENERGY STAR's sizing chart puts at 350 to 550 sq ft.
Which GE Profile window AC is the most efficient for its size?
GE Profile PWJV08W***, GE Profile PWJV10W***, GE Profile PWJV12W**1 and 1 more tie at CEER 16: tied with 101 others for the lowest of the 105 in its DOE class (window ACs, 8,000 to 13,999 BTU/h).
Is GE Profile the same as GE?
For 4 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (PWJV08W**2, PWJV10W**2, PWJV12W**2 and PWJV12W**3).
