GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions has announced the expansion of its HVAC portfolio with the addition of new entry-level options for three trusted product lines: the GE Connect Series Side-Discharge, GE Top-Discharge, and Haier SD Series Side-Discharge systems. The move aims to help contractors close more jobs by offering a broader range of price points while maintaining reliability and performance.
As affordability remains a top concern for homeowners, contractors often face the challenge of balancing performance expectations with tighter budgets, sometimes losing jobs on price. These new entry-level systems are designed to bridge that gap, providing dependable solutions that meet standard residential efficiency requirements and giving contractors more flexibility when quoting and selling jobs.
Khalid Qirem, Vice President of Air & Water Solutions, stated, "Our Air & Water business is accelerating, and we’re building it with contractors at the center. 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. And we’re just getting started."
The expanded portfolio includes three systems tailored for specific installation scenarios. The GE Connect Series Side-Discharge (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 GE Top-Discharge (14 SEER2 Air Conditioner) is built for straightforward replacements, featuring familiar components, 45-degree service valves, and extended connections that help crews install faster and simplify service. The Haier SD Series Side-Discharge (15 SEER2 Heat Pump) is designed for compact, value-driven applications where space is limited, offering a slim profile and flexible installation options for tighter residential environments.
These new systems complement the existing GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions product line, allowing contractors and distributors to build a more complete good/better/best offering, making it easier to guide homeowners toward solutions that fit both their needs and budgets. All three systems are backed by GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions’ national distribution network, service support, and warranty infrastructure, giving contractors confidence at every price point.
The announcement underscores GE Appliances' commitment to simplifying how contractors do business, from product selection to installation and ongoing support. For more information, visit GEAppliancesAirAndWater.com.
