More importantly, it's a workhorse. In our test room of 650 square feet — nearly twice what the unit is rated for — the GE could decrease the temperature by more than 3 degrees in an hour. It did this while remaining fairly quiet, registering only 55 decibels on high, which makes it suitable for bedrooms and home offices.
The unit features Sleep mode activated with a button to adjust the temperature as you sleep for a comfortable atmosphere in the bedroom. It also includes energy-saving options in form of a 24-hour timer that allows you to schedule the operation to your preferred time, and EcoSave mode that cycles the unit on and shuts it off automatically when the target temperature is reached. You can set a minimum temperature of 62℉ and a maximum of 90℉.
Too Little, Too Late
hour start/stop timer to pre-cool (e.g. before you arrive home or at the office) or to automatically switch off when you are asleep Given these this range of uses–one for the whole upstairs and one for the south bedroom only–do you think I need a unit with more than 10,000 BTUs? For several reasons, I’d rather not install a unit for each bedroom. The number of residents. A person's body dissipates heat into the surrounding atmosphere, so the more people there are, the more BTUs required to cool the room, and the fewer BTUs required to warm the room. CEER: If you want to get deeper into the numbers, look at a unit's CEER. "The CEER, or Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio, is a measure of energy efficiency for a room air conditioner," Jones says. "The higher a room air conditioner's CEER value, the more efficient the room conditioner is when comparing across models with the same cooling capacity." The CEER is measured by dividing the Btu output by the amount of energy consumed both while the unit is running and while it's in standby mode. A full function remote control, washable and reusable filter that easily slides out for cleaning, and castor wheels and integrated handles for convenient maneuverability and transport make this product user-friendly.
I wanted to follow on from an earlier question where you advised the extra 4000BTU is not necessary if you are not an active user of the kitchen. I’m the same way and on balance would probably rather deal with the cooling maybe not being as effective for the 45 minutes every other day I am running my oven or using the stove, than step up the BTU and have higher energy usage the other 47 hours and 15 minutes. The living room unit is 6,500 BTU and the bedroom unit is 6,000 BTU. I use them only for those rooms. The BTUs are more than adequate for the spaces, but the units are too old to work properly and need to be replaced.Portable ACs: You may consider a portable air conditioner if you don't have windows that will fit a traditional unit. However, they're less efficient at cooling than window units. Read more about the best portable air conditioners and when you should buy a window AC vs a portable AC. This portable air conditioner from Whynter utilizes a dual hose to efficiently cool rooms up to 500 square feet. Unlike a window or wall-mounted air conditioner, this unit allows for versatile placement within a room. Plus, it has an exhaust hose that extends up to 60 inches. This AC can also be used as a fan or dehumidifier to remove excess moisture on muggy days. The activated carbon filter eliminates chemical fumes, smoke, and other odors to keep air fresh. Pros: Good performance in our cooling tests, quiet operation, certified Energy Star "Most Efficient," Wi-Fi connectivity with support for Alexa and Google Home, can be controlled remotely with a smartphone app Homes in more extreme climates are subject to larger fluctuations in temperature, which typically results in higher BTU usage. For instance, heating a home in Alaska during winter, or cooling a home during a Houston summer will require more BTUs than heating or cooling a home in Honolulu, where temperatures tend to stay around 80°F year-round.
