The GE Profile PLH13XAHW gives you four-season climate control in a single rooftop unit. At just 11 inches tall, it slips through wind with less drag than conventional RV air conditioners while delivering 13,500 BTU of cooling and genuine heat pump heating that works down to 25F -- reducing your reliance on propane on cool nights. One unit, one roof opening, one two-year warranty.
Most RV AC units are strictly cooling appliances. The PLH13XAHW integrates a full heat pump, which moves heat rather than generating it, making it substantially more energy-efficient than electric resistance strip heat. That matters when you are running on shore power with limited amperage, or trying to stretch a generator's duty cycle on a shoulder-season camping trip.
When outdoor temperatures drop below 25F, the unit's automatic changeover activates auxiliary heating mode, keeping your RV comfortable even when the heat pump's efficiency window closes. The transition is automatic -- no manual switching required.
At 40 x 30 x 11 inches overall, this unit clears overhead obstacles and bridge clearances more easily than taller conventional shrouds. Less height also means less wind resistance at highway speeds.
Efficient heat pump operation in temperatures as low as 25F. Automatically switches to auxiliary heat below that threshold so you stay warm without manually adjusting settings.
Fits the industry-standard 14-3/8 x 14-3/8 inch square roof opening with a plus-or-minus 1/4 inch tolerance. Direct replacement for most existing RV rooftop AC cutouts.
GE backs the PLH13XAHW with a 2-year warranty covering the product, parts, and labor -- longer than most RV AC competitors.
For RVers who rely on a propane furnace for cold-weather heat, the PLH13XAHW's heat pump offers a meaningful alternative on nights when temps are above 25F. Heat pumps deliver more BTUs of heat per watt consumed than resistance heaters, which means your generator or shore power hookup goes further. Over the course of a shoulder-season trip, that adds up to real propane savings and fewer generator run-hours.
The PLH13XAHW is engineered for low sound levels during operation -- an important consideration when parked in a campground or boondocking where generator noise and AC noise both matter. Multiple operating modes let you select cooling, heating, fan-only, or auto modes depending on conditions.
The PLH13XAHW mounts in a standard 14-3/8 x 14-3/8 inch roof opening -- the same cutout used by most major brand RV air conditioners. It requires a 20-amp dedicated circuit breaker and runs on standard 115V AC power. Interior clearance between the RV ceiling and roof deck must be between 2 and 6 inches to accommodate the ceiling assembly. The unit weighs 86 lbs; two people and appropriate roof-rated scaffolding or a ladder rated for the combined load are strongly recommended for installation.
