Every year, The ACHR NEWS introduces the latest heating equipment that is available for the upcoming winter season. The intent is to help contractors prepare for this busy period by doing the research that will help them to distinguish between brands.
Like last year, this year’s Heating Showcase is split into two parts — residential and commercial. The residential/light commercial information is published in this issue, and the commercial equipment will be featured in the November 1 issue. Included in the coverage is feature-specific information about each individual product that was submitted by the manufacturers.
The showcase features the product grid, which includes technical facts, such as unit tonnage, refrigerant type, efficiency rating, and cooling capacity. Select a product below for more in-depth information on the features of each individual unit and technical support information from the manufacturer. The manufacturers provided all of the data included in the product grid, as well as in the photo feature. Therefore, any questions should be directed to them via the contact information provided in the photo feature section.

Serviceability features: Ductless heat pump mini-split systems are some of today’s most advanced forms of heating and cooling. One outdoor unit can operate up to four indoor units, simultaneously providing just the right amount of comfort control to each zone. Rheem systems are super quiet, as well as highly energy efficient. Each indoor unit can operate independently via remote control; supply both heating and cooling (not simultaneously); provide high energy efficiencies; and operate quietly.
Noise-reduction features: A high-performance, low noise, large capacity DC twin rotary compressor is used. With the new airflow structure, sound levels are drastically reduced. Circular flow cassette models operate at whisper-quiet sound levels. Users can choose from four different fan speeds to archive peak comfort.
IAQ equipment supported: The filter deodorizes by powerfully decompressing absorbed orders using the oxidizing and reducing effects of ions generated by the ultra-fine-particle ceramic. The filter can be used for approximately three years if it is washed with water when dirty to restore its surface action. Dust, mold spores, and micro-organisms are absorbed onto the filter by static electricity and growth is inhibited.
Thermostat compatibility: Compatible with most thermostats.
Replacement parts compatibility: Shares replacement parts with other models.
Additional features: A simple push of a button on the remote control switches from heating to cooling (or vice versa) automatically. Compressors only run as fast as necessary to handle the cooling or heating demand. They can handle greater extremes in temperature, are smoother and more stable in operation, and reach the desired temperature more quickly than conventional heat pumps.
Warranty information: Standard warranty is five-year parts and seven-year compressor. Warranty will be extended to a period of 10 years under specific conditions, and online registration is required (registermyunit.com)
Special installation requirements: Mini-split systems offer a convenient alternative for installations where traditional duct systems may not be an option, like attics, home additions, basements, or crawlspaces. Since mini-splits have no ducting, they set up quickly, install easily, and won’t take up closet or attic space. Used in conjunction with a new Rheem HVAC system, the high-efficiency ductless systems make it easy to keep spaces more comfortable and energy consumption low, while saving big on utility costs.

As a result, the HMH7 is perfect for high-density areas, unlike traditional horizontal-discharge units, which often require at least 24 inches.
