  • Does GE RV AC Unit Air Distribution Box GE56FR fit ARH15AACBL2
    Hey Eloy, yes the Ducted Install Kit for GE Appliances RV ACs - Air Distribution Box # GE56FR that you referenced does work with the GE RV AC unit part number ARH15AACBL2 that you referenced. Is that what you have now or are you trying to piece together a new kit for your RV?

  • Do GE AC Unit Thermostat Dipswitches Need to be Moved for Using Furnace and Heat Pump
    Hey John, thanks for the picture that looks like it came from the instructions and your thermostat. You do need to move the first and last dipswitches up and that will allow both the furnace and the heat pump to function.

  • What Parts Are Needed To Operate The GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC GE74FR?
    Hello Dan. Yes, it does. You would also need an air distribution box, controller and thermostat to operate the GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC # GE74FR. The distribution box, controller and thermostat are available as part # GE56FR which is for a ducted system. Or use part # GE96FR for non-ducted. I hope this helps. Please leave a reply below if there is anything else I can do to help.

  • Can GE AC Unit Air Box # GE56FR Fit PLH13XHHWH1
    Hey Kirby, as long as your PLH13XHHWH1 has the R32 refrigerant which is what was required in January of 2025 the air box kit part # GE56FR that you referenced would work for you. If you have an older AC unit though we don't have anything that would fit it.

  • Does The GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC GE37FR Include A Heat Pump?
    Hi Chris! The GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC w/ Heat Pump - 15,000 Btu - White - AC Unit Only # GE37FR does indeed include a heat pump. One thing to note though, this will not work with any system pre-2025. This is due to new EPA regulations and all manufacturers being required to switch to the new R32 coolant. Unfortunately, no ACs are backwards compatible. To complete this set up, you will need one of the following two parts as well: Ductless Install Kit for GE Appliances RV ACs -...

  • What is the Decibel Rating for the GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC w/ Heat Pump GE37FR?
    I sure do! The GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC w/ Heat Pump item # GE37FR has a sound level of 59 decibels. This is one of the quietest AC units on the market today. It is designed for both ducted and ductless applications and includes a built in heat pump. Please note that the GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC w/ Heat Pump item # GE37FR has the new R32 refrigerant in it. So it will not work with air distribution boxes or thermostats that came out before 2025 that work with the old 410a...

  • Is GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC Backwards Compatible With R410a Parts
    Hey Jesse! The GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC # GE74FR is not backwards compatible with the R410a system. Since this is just the rooftop unit you will need the Ducted Install Kit for GE Appliances RV ACs # GE56FR (Black) or # GE36FR (White) to complete the installation. This includes the control board, ADB, and wall thermostat. What kind of trailer do you have?

  • Efficient AC System For DIY Camper Van Conversion With 12V Battery Bank
    Hey Dante! Yes, the Velit 2000R # VE77QV is a much better fit for that kind of van build than a standard 120V rooftop AC. It runs directly on 12V DC, so you do not need to route power through an inverter just to cool the van. It’s a complete ductless 8,000 Btu system with a remote, Bluetooth app control, and a low 7-1/8 inch rooftop profile. It draws about 250–300 watts in Eco mode and up to 650 watts in Turbo mode, so it’s much more realistic for battery-powered camping. For example,...

  • Comparing 120V And 12V AC Unit For DIY Camper Build Off-Grid Use
    Hey Ellis! For your setup, I’d actually look at the Velit 2000R # VE77QV before the GE Appliances HE # GE44FR. The GE is a solid 13,500 Btu rooftop AC, but it’s still a 120V unit, so running it from a 12V lithium bank would require an inverter and you’ll lose some power in that conversion. The Velit # VE77QV is a complete ductless 8,000 Btu system that runs directly on 12V DC, so it’s a much better match for a 4-battery 12V lithium setup for off-grid use. It draws about 250–300 watts in...

  • Updating RV Air Conditioner - Which Rooftop Unit And Interior Pieces To Converter From R410A To R32?
    Hey Micah! The GE Appliances HE # GE44FR is the rooftop AC unit only, so for your ducted setup that has ceiling vents throughout the RV for AC airflow, you’ll want to add the GE ducted install kit # GE56FR. That kit gives you the air distribution box, thermostat, and controls needed to complete the system. That matching kit is important because the newer R32 AC units are not made to reuse older pre-2025 ceiling assemblies or control parts. So instead of trying to match up outdated components,...

  • Parts Needed To Swap R410A AC System To new R32 Refrigerant AC Kit On Travel Trailer
    Hey Stefan! The GE Appliances HE # GE44FR is the rooftop AC unit, so it’s the starting point, not the whole system by itself. To finish the setup, you’ll add the GE interior install kit that matches how your RV distributes air. If your RV has ceiling vents throughout the coach, add the ducted install kit # GE56FR. If your RV does not have ceiling ductwork and the air comes straight out below the AC, add the ductless install kit # GE46FR. That pairing is important because # GE44FR is part...

  • Replacement AC System With Modern Refrigerant For 30 Amp Travel Trailer
    Good morning Malcolm, yes the GE Appliances HE # GE44FR is a good direction if your old 13,500 Btu unit was keeping up fine. It keeps you in that same cooling range instead of jumping to a larger 15K unit, and it’s GE’s high-efficiency 13.5K rooftop model rated for a 15-amp circuit breaker. The # GE44FR is the rooftop AC unit only, so you’ll want the matching GE install kit with it. For a ducted RV with ceiling vents, use # GE56FR. For a ductless setup where the air blows from the ceiling...

  • Which AC System Is More Efficient For Camper On Generator Power?
    Good morning Sienna, yes the GE Appliances HE AC unit # GE44FR is the one I’d look at first if generator use and lower power demand are priorities. It’s the 13,500 Btu high-efficiency rooftop unit and is rated for a 15-amp circuit breaker, so it’s the friendlier GE option when you’re working with limited power. Just keep in mind this is the rooftop unit only. For a ducted RV, use the GE install kit # GE56FR. For a ductless RV with no ceiling AC vents, use # GE46FR. If you’d rather step...

  • Replacing
    Hey Reuben! Yes, I’d stay with a 13,500 Btu AC for your Jay Flight unless the old one always struggled to keep up. That’s a common size for travel trailers like your 2012 Jayco Jay Flight 26BH, and if it cooled well before, there’s usually no need to jump up to a 15K unit. For a newer R32 setup, I’d look at the GE Appliances HE # GE44FR if you want a 13.5K rooftop unit. Just remember it needs the matching GE interior kit: # GE56FR for ducted setups, or # GE46FR for ductless setups where...

  • 13,500 BTU Efficient Air Conditioner Replacement For RV With 30A Hookup
    Hey Hana! Yes, the GE Appliances HE # GE44FR makes sense if you just want a cool-only 13,500 Btu rooftop AC and you’re not looking for heat pump features. It’s rated for a 15-amp circuit breaker, which is one of the reasons I’d look at it for a straightforward replacement where you don’t need to step up to a 15K unit. This is the rooftop AC only, so the interior kit matters. Use # GE56FR if your camper has a ducted ceiling system, or # GE46FR if it’s ductless and blows air right from the...

  • Efficient 13,500 BTU RV AC System For RV That Camps In Mild Weather
    Hey Pavel! No, the GE Appliances HE # GE44FR would not be a mistake if your current 15K AC feels like more than you really need. It’s a 13,500 Btu high-efficiency rooftop unit and is rated for a 15-amp circuit breaker, so it’s a good fit when you want a more modest cooling setup. Since # GE44FR is the rooftop AC unit only, you’ll need the matching GE install kit to complete it: # GE56FR for ducted RVs or # GE46FR for ductless RVs. If your current 15K barely kept up, I’d stay with 15K but...

  • Choosing Between Different GE AC Units For RV With 30A Service Plug
    Good afternoon Naveen, yes the GE Appliances HE # GE44FR is worth looking at for a 30-amp RV because it’s the 13,500 Btu high-efficiency model and is rated for a 15-amp circuit breaker. That can make it a good fit when you’re trying to keep your AC setup a little easier to manage on limited campground power. This one is the rooftop AC replacement unit only, so it’s a good choice if you’re already planning to build out the rest of the GE system with compatible interior components. For a...
