A good fit if…

  • You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

Think twice if…

  • You often see nights below 0°F - it is not cold-climate certified.
  • You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.

Questions6
What is the SEER2 rating of the GE Appliances ASH112PRDWA?
The GE Appliances ASH112PRDWA is rated at up to 23.0 SEER2 and 12.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.2 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
Is the GE Appliances ASH112PRDWA good for cold climates?
It is not cold-climate certified: none of its matchups meet the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria (a COP of at least 1.75 at 5°F among other limits). In places with frequent sub-zero nights, pick a cold-climate 12,000 BTU model.
How much does the GE Appliances ASH112PRDWA cost to run per year?
At its rated efficiency it costs about $246-$726 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $313 in Phoenix and $614 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
Is the GE Appliances ASH112PRDWA the same as the Haier 1U12AP2VHA?
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 ASH112PRDWA?
ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses ASYW12PRDWB.
What refrigerant does the GE Appliances ASH112PRDWA 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.

Estimates use the unit's rated SEER2 and HSPF2, full-load hours derived from NOAA 1991-2020 degree days, average residential electricity prices from the U.S. EIA (12 months to July 2026) and fuel prices from EIA (2025 for natural gas, week of 2026-10-05 for propane and heating oil). Very cold days that need backup heat are not modelled. Federal minimum for comparison: 14.3 SEER2 / 7.5 HSPF2.
