GE to offer AC/Heatpump

[GL1800Rider]

GE rooftop air conditioner unit on display at RVX in Salt Lake City. They are going to be offered beginning next year. The air conditioners will be available for both ducted and non-ducted applications and offer 13,500 and 15,000 BTU models.

I imagine these are actually being manufactured by Haier.

That is true. The GE we knew in our younger days is owned by the Chinese company Haier. The the american GE is still in business but has switched all efforts into oil and gas and aviation.

Chinese manufacturer Haier completes its purchase of the Louisville, Kentucky-based appliance division of General Electric. After six months and $5.6 billion, the appliance division of General Electric officially belongs to Chinese manufacturer Haier, the companies said at a press conference Monday.Jun 6, 2016
