What is the SEER2 rating of the GE Appliances ASH118URDSE?

The GE Appliances ASH118URDSE is rated at up to 23.0 SEER2 and 13.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 11.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.

Is the GE Appliances ASH118URDSE 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 18,000 BTU model.

How much does the GE Appliances ASH118URDSE cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $370-$1,117 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $474 in Phoenix and $947 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the GE Appliances ASH118URDSE the same as the Haier 1U18EH2VHE?

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 ASH118URDSE?

ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses ASYW18URDWD.

What refrigerant does the GE Appliances ASH118URDSE 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.

18,000 BTU mini-split heat pump · Endure

GE Appliances ASH118URDSE

Average cooling efficiency and very good heating efficiency for a 18,000 BTU mini-split heat pump, but not rated for cold climates.

Ranks #136 of 465 18,000 BTU mini-splits for cooling efficiency, and costs about $455 a year to run in a mixed climate like Atlanta.

A good fit if…

It will heat most of the year - its HSPF2 beats 75% of mini-splits.
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.
