Wall Air Conditioner
Designed to be built into the wall, these GE air conditioners do not have the side or top vents that are typical for window air conditioners. Built-ins offer a better weather barrier than standard window air conditioners.

Window Air Conditioners
Window AC units are portable, and are not installed into the structure of the home or building. GE window air conditioners are designed to fit traditional-style windows and come with GE’s EZ-mount installation.

Things to consider when selecting a room air conditioner
What are BTUs?
The cooling capacity of window air conditioners is measured in British Thermal Units or BTUs. The air BTU rating refers to the cooling power of the product. It is critical that the capacity of a room air conditioner be the right size for the room being cooled. An improperly-sized air conditioner can result in a cold, clammy environment or an inadequately cooled room.
Before you buy...
Measure the square footage of the room or rooms to be cooled. If an exact match of cooling capacity is not possible, it is preferable to select a unit which is slightly undersize in BTUs, rather than oversize.
If the area to be cooled includes a kitchen, add an additional 4000 BTU/hr.
When sizing larger living areas, it is usually better to use at least two air conditioners rather than one large unit. Doing so offers better air distribution which reduces the likelihood of hot and cold spots.
GE air conditioner units with electronic controls allow for more precise control settings.
