I already have a single stage thermostat on my wall, would I still need the GE installation kit for this unit?

Hey Tim, thanks for reaching out!
If you're replacing a GE AC unit, then the GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC # GE64FR will work with your thermostat, but if you're replacing a different brand of AC with this GE, then we'll need to get you a whole kit.
You'll need the kit # GE35ZR if you have a ducted system (like in your house) or the kit # GE72ZR if you have a ductless system.
What AC unit are you replacing?
