Year-round comfort in a single rooftop unit. The GE GRHS13XAHW pairs 13,500 BTU cooling with a fully integrated heat pump that operates down to 25 deg F -- so you can stretch your camping season without burning extra propane. It runs on eco-responsible R32 refrigerant, installs with GE's EZ Install Control Box, and backs everything up with a transferable 2-year parts-and-labor warranty.
Most RV air conditioners are cool-only. The GRHS13XAHW adds a heat pump that delivers meaningful warmth from outdoor air down to 25 deg F, with automatic defrost cycling to keep the coil clear. At 35 deg F outdoor temperatures, the heat pump can reduce propane consumption by 19 to 38 percent compared to a 20,000-40,000 BTU propane furnace running at 75 percent efficiency -- a real-world fuel savings for full-timers and shoulder-season campers.
When outdoor temps drop below the heat pump's effective range, your existing furnace takes over seamlessly. The two systems are designed to work together, not compete.
R32 carries 70 percent lower global warming potential than R410A and zero ozone-depletion potential. Same effective cooling, significantly reduced environmental impact.
Integrated reverse-cycle heat pump provides electric heat without propane down to 25 deg F outdoor ambient, with built-in auto-defrost cycling.
Simplified wiring harness and labeled terminal block reduce installation errors. Upgrade a cool-only GE RVAC unit to heat pump without swapping the ceiling assembly or controls.
Built-in freeze prevention and low-voltage detection protect the compressor and alert you to power issues before they cause damage.
The aerodynamic shroud is UV-resistant and designed to shed wind noise at highway speeds. Internal components are protected with corrosion-resistant coatings and reinforced mounting points. Sound-dampening rubber grommets isolate the compressor from the rooftop deck, keeping interior noise noticeably lower than older single-speed units.
At 35 deg F, the GRHS13XAHW heat pump cuts propane use by 19-38 percent versus a typical RV furnace (20,000-40,000 BTU, 75% efficiency). For full-timers running heat daily through fall and spring, that reduction adds up across a season.
The interior ceiling return air filter is accessible from inside the RV without tools, making regular cleaning practical rather than a chore. A clean filter maintains airflow, protects the evaporator coil, and keeps cooling capacity where it should be. GE recommends inspecting the filter every 30 days during active use.
If you own an existing GE RVAC S Series cool-only unit, the GRHS13XAHW heat pump rooftop assembly is designed to connect to the existing EZ Install Control Box and ceiling assembly -- no full interior replacement required. Confirm compatibility with your specific cool-only model before ordering.
Backed by GE Appliances' transferable 2-year warranty covering parts and labor. Transferable means it stays with the unit if you sell the RV -- a genuine selling point for resale value.
