Standard field-convertible airflow, with industry-standard footprints and connections, enables flexible configurations across a wide range of commercial applications, from new construction to replacement projects.

"Today's contractors and building owners need packaged heat pump systems that deliver strong results without adding complexity," said Rosa Leal, director, commercial product strategy and customer experience, U.S. Air, Rheem North America, "This expansion of our Rheem Renaissance line of high efficiency heat pumps, developed over more than two years, is designed to do exactly that – by combining higher efficiency, flexible installation, and advanced controls to simplify setup, operation, and ongoing service."

Key features include:

• Industry-standard footprints and connections: Enables straightforward replacement without requiring curb adapters, reducing time on-site and overall project cost.
• Enhanced performance: Up to three stages of cooling using scroll compressors, a direct drive variable speed blower, and MicroChannel coils provide powerful, high-efficiency performance.
• Advanced controls and connectivity: The factory-installed advanced unitary controller comes pre-configured with control sequences to streamline commissioning. It is compatible with universal 24V control and BACnet®, MS/TP, and IP-native, enabling seamless integration with third-party, cloud-based building automation systems (BAS). Built-in alarms, fault detection, and diagnostics are available through the HMI display.
• Serviceability-focused design: Contractor-friendly features like the PlusOne® ServiceSmart™ package, including the Qwik-slide blower, Qwik-clean drain pan, and the Qwik-change flex-fix filter rack, support faster, easier maintenance.

Manufactured in Rheeem's state-of-the art Fort Smith, Arkansas factory, the new units reinforce Rheem's continued investment in high-efficiency commercial solutions that help businesses meet or exceed evolving federal and local building energy efficiency standards, such as California's Title 24 (2025), while simplifying setup and long-term maintenance.
