Rheem Launches Residential Packaged Dual Fuel System
ATLANTA, Georgia — Rheem announced the launch of its newest offering, the Endeavor Line Classic Plus Series iR Residential Packaged Dual Fuel Units (RDFXYC). Designed with both homeowners and contractors in mind, the RDFXYC units combine a heat pump and gas furnace into one versatile system, delivering reliable performance, energy efficiency, and connectivity.
The RDFXYC unit is available in 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-ton models in both single- and three-phase configurations. With cooling efficiencies up to 15.2 SEER2 and heating efficiencies of 7.2 HSPF2, the system performs in all conditions. On extremely cold days, the unit seamlessly switches to two-stage gas heat, boasting an AFUE rating of 81%, to ensure consistent comfort even in the harshest of climates. Homeowners can set a preferred temperature threshold, and when outdoor conditions fall below that point, the system automatically transitions from heat pump to gas furnace operation.
Key features include:
- Smart features: The system incorporates Rheem’s EcoNet capability, offering homeowners advanced connectivity to manage their temperature settings from anywhere in the world. Bluetooth connectivity enables time savings for set-up, service, and diagnostics without the need to remove service panels. Homeowners also gain the flexibility of integration with leading smart home platforms or with any standard 24V thermostat.
- Quiet operation: A constant volume motor enables quieter sound levels, allowing users to maintain comfort without sacrificing quietness.
- Eco-efficient: The system also features on-demand dehumidification through the EcoNet thermostat, while microchannel condenser and evaporator coils reduce refrigerant requirements by 50%, lowering the environmental impact. Variable speed technology also enables improved humidity control and year-round energy savings.
- Accessible size: The cabinet is engineered with accessibility in mind, offering a shorter height for easier rooftop installation and a serviceable layout with dedicated compartments and a slide-out blower section.
The units include a 10-year compressor warranty, a 10-year conditional parts warranty with registration, and a limited lifetime stainless steel heat exchanger warranty for residential applications.
