Rheem Introduces Endeavor Line Classic Plus Series Top-Discharge Universal Heat Pump
Rheem announced the launch of the ENERGY STAR-certified Endeavor Line Classic Plus Series Top-Discharge Universal Heat Pump (RP17AY), delivering energy efficiency, versatile installation, and smart connectivity in a traditional split system cabinet design for residential applications.
Designed for today’s high-performance HVAC systems, the RP17AY heat pump offers cooling efficiencies up to 17 SEER2/11.7 EER2 and heating efficiencies up to 9.5 HSPF2. Engineered for universal installation compatibility, the unit pairs easily with nearly any R-454B HVAC system, offering a solution for common replacement and new construction. Available in 2- to 5-tons with cooling and heating capacities ranging from 22.2 to 57 kBtu, the system uses R-454B refrigerant to support more sustainable, high-efficiency operation.
