How many square feet does the GE Profile PWDV14W cool?

At 14,000 BTU/h it suits a room of about 450 to 700 sq ft with normal sun and two people, following the ENERGY STAR sizing guide. In a heavily shaded room that stretches to about 495-770 sq ft; in a very sunny one it shrinks to 405-630 sq ft. A kitchen needs 4,000 BTU more.

How many watts and amps does the GE Profile PWDV14W use?

About 933 watts at full power (14,000 BTU/h divided by its CEER of 15.0), which is 8.1 amps at 115 V. That is 4 W less than the typical unit in its class (938 W), or $1 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 47% of the 15 units in the class.

Can the GE Profile PWDV14W run on a standard outlet?

Yes. It runs on 115 V and draws about 8.1 A, well inside a standard 15 A outlet, but do not share the circuit with a space heater, microwave or other big load. 13% of certified units in this class need 230 V, so a 115 V model is the easy case.

What are the dimensions of the GE Profile PWDV14W, and will it fit my window?

19" W × 14.7" H × 21.7" D, 55 lb. It is narrower than 93% of its 14 competitors and lighter than 100% of them. The window must be wider than 19"; the side panels fill the remaining gap.

Can the GE Profile PWDV14W also heat the room?

No, it only cools. If you also need heat, 0 certified units in this class can do both; see the list of air conditioners with heat.

Is the GE Profile PWDV14W worth buying to replace an old air conditioner?

An old unit of the same size at 9 CEER would cost about $210 a year to run at 750 hours and 18.0¢/kWh; this one costs about $126, so it saves roughly $84 a year.

Is the GE Profile PWDV14W the same as the Frigidaire FHWW145WE1?
