How we compare two brands

Only new units we can find in stock with a live price, at the same size. A brand's average says more about its size mix than about the brand.
A price difference counts when it is at least 5% and at least $20, and only between models that install the same way (a do-it-yourself kit is never priced against an installer-fitted system).
Efficiency is compared on one scale (CEER) and counts at a gap of 0.5 or more; noise counts at 3 dB(A) or more, using only ratings checked against the retailer's specification for the exact model.
Warranty terms are as each listing states them. Models named in a CPSC recall are never compared or sold here.

Frigidaire vs GE: common questions

Is Frigidaire or GE cheaper?

It depends on the size. Comparing each brand's cheapest new, in-stock model at the same size, GE's cheapest model costs less at 5,000 BTU ($159 against $199), 6,000 BTU ($188 against $269) and 14,000 BTU ($409 against $448), Frigidaire's at 18,000 BTU ($548 against $799) and the two are within 5% or $20 at 3 sizes. These are live retailer prices and change often.

Which is more energy efficient, Frigidaire or GE window air conditioners?

Comparing the best CEER rating each brand publishes for its in-stock models at the same size, GE has the higher-rated model at 10,000 BTU (CEER 16 against 15) and 14,000 BTU (CEER 16 against 15) and their best ratings are within 0.5 at 1 size. A higher CEER means less electricity for the same cooling. Not every listing publishes a rating, so a size with a rating on one side only is not compared.

What sizes do Frigidaire and GE window air conditioners come in?

In stock right now, Frigidaire sells 5,000, 6,000, 8,000, 10,000, 12,000, 14,000 and 18,000 BTU and GE sells 5,000, 6,000, 8,000, 10,000, 12,000, 14,000 and 18,000 BTU. Size the unit to the room first: an oversized unit short-cycles and leaves the air cool but damp.

Do Frigidaire and GE make inverter window air conditioners?

Yes, Frigidaire has 6 inverter models in stock, and GE has 6. An inverter compressor slows down instead of switching on and off, which is usually quieter and more efficient at part load.

Have any Frigidaire or GE window air conditioners been recalled?

CPSC recall 25-320 (June 2025) was issued for the risk of mold exposure; it names 2 Frigidaire models we track (GHWQ105WD1 and GHWQ125WD1). Those are left out of this comparison and not sold here. Check the model number on your own unit's label against the notice.
