Questions6
How many square feet does the GE Profile AHTR10ACH2 cool?
At 10,100 BTU/h it suits a room of about 350 to 450 sq ft with normal sun and two people, following the ENERGY STAR sizing guide. In a heavily shaded room that stretches to about 385-495 sq ft; in a very sunny one it shrinks to 315-405 sq ft. A kitchen needs 4,000 BTU more.
How many watts and amps does the GE Profile AHTR10ACH2 use?
About 643 watts at full power (10,100 BTU/h divided by its CEER of 15.7), which is 5.6 amps at 115 V. That is 24 W less than the typical unit in its class (667 W), or $3 a year cheaper to run at 18.0¢/kWh. Its inverter compressor slows down instead of cycling, so real use is usually lower. Its CEER beats 61% of the 28 units in the class.
Can the GE Profile AHTR10ACH2 run on a standard outlet?
Yes. It runs on 115 V and draws about 5.6 A, well inside a standard 15 A outlet, but do not share the circuit with a space heater, microwave or other big load. Every certified unit in this class is 115 V.
What are the dimensions of the GE Profile AHTR10ACH2, and will it fit my window?
10.6" W × 14" H × 19.9" D, 65 lb. It is narrower than 100% of its 27 competitors and lighter than 33% of them. The window must be wider than 10.6"; the side panels fill the remaining gap.
Can the GE Profile AHTR10ACH2 also heat the room?
No, it only cools. If you also need heat, 6 certified units in this class can do both; see the list of air conditioners with heat.
Is the GE Profile AHTR10ACH2 worth buying to replace an old air conditioner?
An old unit of the same size at 9 CEER would cost about $152 a year to run at 750 hours and 18.0¢/kWh; this one costs about $87, so it saves roughly $65 a year.

Power draw is capacity divided by CEER, which already includes standby power. Inverter units often run below full power, so real use can be lower. Electricity prices: U.S. EIA residential averages (12 months to July 2026). Days a year start from your state's cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals).
