• Because inverter-driven solutions operate more efficiently, they actually perform better AND save on energy costs.
• Most commonly replaced system. Energy savings shown are calculated per AHRI (Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute) annual operating costs and represent directional numbers most applicable to typical cooling and heating reguirements within the mid-latitudes of the U.S

Inverter-Driven Comfort in Every Season

• EcoNet® Enabled, Inverter-Driven Rheem® Prestige Series Variable Speed Heat Pumps deliver all the smart comfort and energy-saving performance you expect from Rheem.

This results in continual and efficient adjustments of your comfort needs, offering more precise all-day temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality control.
• The compressor found in the Prestige Series Heat Pump provides superior performance and dependability. Variable speeds allow your unit to adapt to surrounding conditions with more precision and efficiency, avoiding temperature fluctuations that are sometimes associated with standard single-stage systems.
• And because your variable-speed system is efficiently adjusting to your heating and cooling needs, it’s also able to deliver humidity and indoor air quality control that is not possible with standard on / off single-stage designs.

Energy-Saving Efficiency Meets High Performance

• It’s also easy to save on energy costs with the Prestige Series Heat Pump. The variable-speed operation outperforms single-stage systems and provides you with a new level of adaptability and precision.

The RP20 Heat Pump also provides the extra heat needed on those cold winter days and nights, reducing the costly expense of auxiliary heating. In fact, our variable speed heat pump is capable of meeting a building’s heating load down to approximately 0° F*. The overdrive feature maintains your home’s comfort when outside temperatures are as high as 107° F.
• To get the most performance from your unit, count on a variable speed heat pump from Rheem.

Engineered for Energy-Saving Performance

• The Prestige Series Heat Pump knows how to efficiently keep the temperature right where it needs to be. Since it has variable speeds, it can adjust to meet non-peak heating and cooling demands.

How to Speak Heating & Cooling

Single-Stage

• One level of operation, with no differentiation between peak or non-peak heating and cooling demands.

Variable-Speed

• Varying levels of operation based on cooling needs. This modulating technology provides more precise temperature control, lower humidity, and greater efficiency.

Efficiency

• Description for how effectively incoming energy is converted to outgoing energy. The higher the number, the more efficient the unit-and the lower the operating costs.

SEER

• Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating is used to express the efficiency of an air conditioning unit, or a heat pump in cooling mode. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the unit.

HSPF

• Heating Seasonal Performance Factor is used to express the efficiency of heat pumps. The higher the HSPF, the more efficient the unit.

EER

• Energy Efficiency Ratio is the cooling capacity of the air conditioner in BTUs per hour to the total electrical input in watts. This measure is determined by comparing test units to the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute specifications.

Compressor

• The compressor plays an integral role in cooling your home. It is responsible for pumping refrigerant through the refrigerant lines and the coil, making the transfer of heat from inside your house to the outdoors possible.
