How we know it's one unit
Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, PWJV12W**3. DOE's definition of a basic model (10 CFR 430.2) covers "all units of a given type of covered product (or class thereof) manufactured by one manufacturer" with "the same primary energy source" and nearly identical "electrical, physical, and functional (or hydraulic) characteristics that affect energy consumption, energy efficiency, water consumption, or water efficiency." So one set of DOE figures covers every name on the list. No brand files PWJV12W**3 itself as a model number. It's the code DOE uses to tie their filings together.
Brands may still differ in color, controls, accessories, warranty and support. Full record and every model number: GE PWJV12W**3.
How much does the PWJV12W**3 cost to run?
DOE's record lists 1,070 W of electrical input while cooling. That's about 19¢ an hour, or $46.63 for 30 days at 8 hours a day.
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.

Who makes the PWJV12W**3, and is it the same under every brand?
- Who makes the GE Profile PWJV12W**2?
- DOE's records don't say. The GE Profile PWJV12W**2 is filed under basic model PWJV12W**3 along with the GE AWH12V***2. Neither brand files PWJV12W**3 itself as a model number, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
- Is the GE Profile PWJV12W**2 the same as the GE AWH12V***2?
- Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model PWJV12W**3 and list the same certified figures: 12,000 BTU/h, CEER 16 and 1,070 W.
- Which brand of PWJV12W**3 is cheapest to run?
- They tie: every brand files 12,000 BTU/h, CEER 16 and 1,070 W, so each costs about 19¢ an hour to run while cooling.
