GE Appliances Expands Residential Lineup

EXPANDED LINEUP: The Haier SD Side-Discharge heat pump system, available in capacities ranging from 18,000 Btu to 60,000 Btu, is one of three new residential systems from GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions is expanding its HVAC portfolio with the addition of entry-level options for three lines: the GE Connect Series Side-Discharge, the GE Top-Discharge, and the Haier SD Series Side-Discharge systems.
The new models are designed to help contractors close more jobs across a wider range of price points, giving HVAC professionals more flexibility to meet homeowner budgets without switching brands or sacrificing reliability, a press release from GE Appliances said.
The expanded portfolio is part of GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions’ broader focus on simplifying how contractors do business, from product selection to installation and ongoing support, the company said.
“Our Air & Water business is accelerating, and we’re building it with contractors at the center,” said Khalid Qirem, vice president of GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions. “This launch is about making it easier to do business with us and offering our partners a full range of solutions to win in any job.”
Each system is engineered for a specific installation scenario, helping contractors quickly match the right product to the job, the company said. Each is available in seven capacities ranging from 18,000 Btu to 60,000 Btu. According to the company:
• The new GE Connect Series Side-Discharge, a 15 SEER2 heat pump, is ideal for zero-lot-line and tight-access installs, with a compact footprint and clearance requirements suited for high-density residential settings.
• The new GE Top-Discharge, a 14 SEER2 air conditioner, is built for straightforward replacements, with familiar components, 45-degree service valves, and extended connections that help crews install faster and simplify service.
• The new Haier SD Series Side-Discharge, a 15 SEER2 heat pump, is designed for compact, value-driven applications where space is limited, offering a slim profile and easy flexible installation options for tighter residential environments.
