What is the SEER2 rating of the GE Appliances ASH109PRDB?

The GE Appliances ASH109PRDB is rated at up to 23.5 SEER2 and 14.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.6 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.

Is the GE Appliances ASH109PRDB good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 8,500 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.80, so it is still 1.8 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the GE Appliances ASH109PRDB cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $182-$624 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $244 in Phoenix and $536 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the GE Appliances ASH109PRDB the same as the Haier 1U09AP2HD?

Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists both model numbers with identical efficiency, capacity and matchups, which means the same outdoor unit sold under a different brand or with a minor variant code (voltage, colour or region). The full list is on this page.

Which indoor units work with the GE Appliances ASH109PRDB?

ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses ASYW09PRDB.

What refrigerant does the GE Appliances ASH109PRDB use?

It uses R-410A. R-410A is being phased down under the EPA AIM Act, and new systems are moving to R-454B and R-32.

9,000 BTU mini-split heat pump · Altitude

GE Appliances ASH109PRDB

Very good cooling efficiency and below average heating efficiency for a 9,000 BTU mini-split heat pump, and certified for cold climates.

Ranks #215 of 395 9,000 BTU mini-splits for cooling efficiency, and costs about $248 a year to run in a mixed climate like Atlanta.

SEER2: 23.5 Cooling efficiency over a season
Very good · beats 70%

A good fit if…

You want low cooling bills - its SEER2 beats 70% of mini-splits.
Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 8,500 BTU/h at 5°F.
You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

Think twice if…

You mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for mini-splits.
You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.
