GE Air Conditioning: Escape the Heat This Summer
Whether you live in a perpetually humid environment or only find yourself sweltering for part of the year, no one wants to be left without help when high heat strikes. And when temperatures soar above 90°, a simple portable fan or overhead ceiling fan isn't going to do it. Some of these cooling methods are meant to promote evaporative airflow by running a layer of air over your skin quickly. That extra cooling layer promotes perspiration, cooling you down. Other fans just push air around, creating a gentle cross breeze. These methods of dropping temperatures work well on warm days, but when temperatures climb, it's time to break out the big guns with GE air conditioners.
Why Go Window?
These GE air conditioners fit directly into your window, allowing homeowners, renters, and condo dwellers alike to experience the best of cold air. There's no expensive installation process or need for a skilled team of installers. Instead, all you need to do is lift, fit, close the window, and power on. You'll be enjoying lower temperatures in moments. Before you get ahead of yourself and think about installation, though, it's important to find the best device for your space. Whether you're cooling off a bedroom, living room, or kitchen with your GE air conditioner, take careful measurements before buying. You're going to want to ensure that the one you pick is powerful enough to chill your entire space. For example, a 6,000 BTU device will bring temperatures down effectively in a room up to 250 square feet large, but won't work well in larger spaces. For more information on how many BTUs you'll need for your space, check out the chart found in our Air Conditioner Sizing and Buying Guide.
Chilled-Out Smart Technology
Instead of just leaving your GE air conditioner on all day long, look for new ways to save energy and cool smarter with their WiFi Connected AC units. These smart devices can connect to devices like smartphones and tablets, allowing you to adjust them from anywhere in the home (or out of it). Use the SmartHQ app to adjust temperatures, schedule changes, change modes, and more. You can even use voice commands with virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. With just a tap or just a word, you can manage your interior climate. There's no more frantic searching for lost remotes or grumbling as you get off the couch to change your settings. While many GE air conditioners are ENERGY STAR® rated, the models equipped with smart technology make it even easier to save energy without effort. Instead of leaving your machine on or off all day, create a cooling schedule that fits your lifestyle. Keep your machine off while you're at work, then have it set to turn on once you start your commute back home. You'll have a perfectly chilled space waiting for you, but won't have to spend copious amounts of electricity keeping an empty home cool all day.
