- Zoneline® air conditioners are more efficient, more reliable and much quieter.
- Experience a better PTAC at 2018 AHR Expo—booth #3156.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Jan. 22, 2018—Zoneline® packaged terminal air conditioners (PTACs) from GE Appliances are the quietest PTACs in the industry, and for hotel owners, that means greater guest satisfaction and less chance of losing repeat business.
With a standard Sound Transmission Class (STC) of 29 on all models, Zoneline is the industry’s quietest PTAC compared to leading competitors, as independent third-party testing in an accredited acoustical lab shows1. These units produce a low balanced sound that is barely noticeable, and guests will not be disturbed when getting a good night’s rest.
Bad Units Cost Good Customers
In fact, room temperature and noise are two of the biggest complaints hotel and motel guests have. Industry data shows two-thirds of guests are unlikely to return to a hotel after being displeased with the comfort or quiet of their room2.
Also consider that at InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) properties over the past year, inferior air conditioners had the highest number of negative mentions on social platforms—some 600 complaints. Guests cited excessive noise and poor performance as top annoyances.
From cracked covers and corroded coils to loud rattling and missing knobs and louvers, a subpar PTAC spells trouble for hotel owners, and that’s why GE Appliances engineered Zoneline to be not only quiet, but highly reliable and efficient as well. In addition, GE Zoneline air conditoners have a durable design, and a streamlined and fresh new appearance.
These AHRI-certified units can help keep utility and maintenance costs low while blending seamlessly with any room’s décor thanks to additional features and benefits, including:
- Average 7 percent greater efficiency than leading competitive PTACs3—Zoneline heat pump models can save a property with 100 rooms on average $36,000 a year versus electric resistance models4
- A backlit coverless control panel with dimmable LED lights that is easy to see but not too bright at night
- A sleek and streamlined design from the inside out—Zoneline sports the industry’s slimmest façade, leaving more room for guests
- Matching color sleeves also available to blend perfectly with interiors
