How much does the GE AJVQ12ACX** cost to run?

About 22¢ an hour of cooling, or $51.86 for 30 days at 8 hours a day (less once the compressor cycles off).

DOE's record lists 1,190 W of electrical input while cooling. Electricity at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Each 1¢/kWh you pay above or below 18.16¢ moves the 8 hour figure by 10¢.

How does the GE AJVQ12ACX** rank in its DOE class?

Its DOE class (through the wall ACs with heat pump, less than 14,000 BTU/h) has 8 models certified to DOE. Its CEER of 13.7 is tied for 1st of the 8, and level with their median of 13.7.

Questions

How big a room does it cool?
About 550 sq ft. ENERGY STAR's sizing chart calls for 12,000 BTU/h in rooms up to 550 sq ft. A sunny room, a kitchen or a high ceiling needs more.
How much does the GE AJVQ12ACX** cost to run for 8 hours?
About $1.73 for 8 hours of cooling: roughly 1,190 W at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).
