For nearly 100 years, Rheem® has been a trailblazer in heating, cooling and water heating innovation across the world. Rheem continues to lead with a bold approach to improvements for products and processes to reduce the impact on the environment by piloting the industry in greener manufacturing and engineering efforts. With this top of mind for Rheem’s engineers and designers, and in response to updated Department of Energy efficiency regulations that took effect in 2023, Rheem introduced the all-new Endeavor™ Line which encompasses Gas Furnaces, Coils, Air Handlers, Split and Packaged Air Conditioners, Split and Packaged Heat Pumps and Packaged Gas Electric units.
The Rheem Endeavor Line Prestige® Series iM Heat Pump (RP18AZ) is backed by patented industry-first features and 360+1 design and makes for a versatile solution for every home featuring super-efficient technology, outstanding durability and qualifies for substantial tax credits and rebates. The EcoNet® Enabled Rheem Endeavor Line Prestige Series RP18AZ Heat Pump is highly efficient. The inverter driven and variable speed compressor technology promotes ideal cooling operation between 40% and 100% of capacity, with overdrive capability up to 115% in extreme conditions, to meet ever-changing heating and cooling needs. The unit provides precise temperature control, advanced humidity control and greater efficiency, making it perfect for every home. Durable Curb Appeal Curved louvered panels, rugged corner posts, corrosion-resistant composite base pan and powder coat paint system, make the unit more durable and sustainable.
Designed with home comfort and acoustics at the top of the list, the RP18AZ features sound-dampening attributes such as refrigerant tubing design, fan blade approach, composite base pan and innovative compressor and drive technologies to ensure that as efficiency goes up, sound levels stay low. The RP18AZ has a sound ranking as low as 58 dB because homeowners shouldn’t have to choose between comfort and quiet.
As for financial incentives, this Endeavor Heat Pump product family has system combinations eligible for the Inflation Reduction Act Energy Efficient Home Improvement (25C) Tax Credit and High Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program (coming Q4 2023/2024) saving homeowners in the short term on install costs and long-term on their energy bills.
