QuestionWhat refrigerant does this use? R22? R410a? Some are toxic some are not some are good for the environment some are not
Asked 10 months ago by Dana.
- Answer The refrigerant type for this air conditioner is R32. We take the safety of our consumers and the welfare of the environment very seriously, and we're confident you'll have no issues with the refrigerant as long as the safety instructions in the manual are followed. You can view that manual on our GE Appliances website, when you look up the model number and go to the product's page. -Sarah@GEAppliances

QuestionHow long does this AC take to start cooling? I installed it per instructions, and had it running for 2 hours at the lowest cooling temperature. When I switched it to Fan Only, it showed the room temperature as 87 degrees. Also, no water is dripping.
Asked 10 months ago by JeanF.
- Answer While the air conditioner should start cooling right away, it may take some time to cool the room down to your desired temperature as the unit not only cools the air, it also must remove the heat from any furniture, rugs, walls or draperies in the area. The design of the unit is such that you may only see water dripping from the back of the unit after several hot and humid days. If your air conditioner is still not cooling properly, we recommend contacting Best Buy directly by calling 1-800-433-5887. for assistance. -Vikki@GEAppliances

Asked 11 months ago by Anonymous.
- Answer the lights are not always active, so it must have some kind of timer to "turn them off" hitting a button on the remote brings them back.

QuestionWatts? At start and run?
Asked 1 year ago by Me.
- Answer This air conditioner uses 440 watts while cooling. The surge (or startup) power when the compressor cycles on is approximately 2 times the running power and lasts only a second or two. Therefore, the surge power is approximately 880 watts for this model. For more information, check out the rating plate on the unit and the Electrical Requirements section on page 9 of the Owner’s Manual. It can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website. Lauren@GEAppliances

QuestionHow do you drain this ac?
Asked 1 year ago by Hernandez.
- Answer There is a sub base plug on the outside part of the unit you can remove to help drain any residual moisture. Otherwise, careful tilting of the unit to the outside will also help remove water from the pan. We encourage this be done by a min8imum of two people so as not to drop and damage the unit.
