Peace-Of-Mind Performance
Relax, you’re covered by one of the best warranties in the industry. 10 Year Conditional Parts (registration required).
Less Environmental Impact
The 7mm condenser coil provides a decrease in refrigerant requirements up to 15%, lowering the amount of greenhouse gases emitted while contributing to Rheem’s sustainability goal of a 50% reduction in our greenhouse gas footprint by 2025. A win for all of us.
Durable Curb Appeal
Curved louvered panels and rugged corner posts provide excellent protection to internal components, while modern cabinet aesthetics, including the corrosion-resistant composite base pan and powder coat paint system, allow your unit to put its best face forward for years to come.
Energy Savings
Just like a vehicle’s MPG, the higher the SEER2 and EER2 rating (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio / Energy Efficiency Ratio), the higher the efficiency of your air conditioner—allowing for energy savings month after month. Keep in mind, other factors such as system matching, sizing, ductwork and installation also affect overall efficiency. By working with a properly trained contractor, you can be confident that you are choosing the best heating and cooling system for your home’s comfort and your budget.
Quiet Operation
Efficient home comfort shouldn’t be noisy. That’s why our air conditioners are designed with acoustics in mind. Integrated sound-dampening features such as refrigerant tubing design, fan blade approach, composite base pan and innovative compressor and drive technologies let you enjoy more efficiency–and less noise.
We Thought of Everything…
& Then Some
We evaluate every detail of a product from top to bottom, inside and out and every angle in between. That’s 360+1. And that’s why you can count on this air conditioner to bring you and your family years of efficient and dependable comfort.

Designing for Sustainability
with Low GWP
For 2025, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a global warming potential (GWP) limit of 700 for refrigerant used in heating and cooling systems. This new requirement will result in a 78% lower GWP than previous-generation refrigerants - with only minimal changes to system installation. For us, this is another step toward our ongoing sustainability goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while still delivering an exceptional level of energy-efficient, dependable comfort.
