Rheem Introduces Revolutionary Residential Dual Fuel System

Rheem, a prominent player in the HVAC and water heating market, has made headlines with the launch of its groundbreaking Endeavor® Line Classic Plus® Series iR Residential Packaged Dual Fuel Units (RDFXYC). Celebrating its centennial this year, Rheem continues to emphasize innovation and customer satisfaction.

Key Features of the RDFXYC Units

The RDFXYC dual fuel systems have been carefully designed for both homeowners and contractors, successfully merging a heat pump with a gas furnace into a single unit. Available in configurations of 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-tons, these units offer significant advancements in energy efficiency and connectivity, featuring cooling efficiencies of up to 15.2 SEER2 and heating efficiencies rated at 7.2 HSPF2.

One of the most impressive capabilities of the RDFXYC system is its ability to automatically switch from heat pump operation to two-stage gas heat when outdoor temperatures drop below a set threshold, ensuring seamless comfort on even the coldest days. With an AFUE rating of 81%, Rheem guarantees reliable warmth in the harshest conditions. Homeowners can manage their home's preferred temperature settings remotely, providing ultimate convenience.

Enhanced Connectivity

Rheem has integrated its EcoNet® technology within this system, offering homeowners unparalleled connectivity. This allows users to manage temperature settings from virtually anywhere, directly from their smartphones. Moreover, contractors enjoy built-in Bluetooth® capabilities that streamline set-up, servicing, and diagnostics, reducing the need for manual intervention. The units can also easily integrate with popular smart home platforms, enhancing their overall user experience.

Quiet and Efficient Operation

Another significant highlight of the RDFXYC units is their commitment to quiet operation. Thanks to a constant volume motor, these systems operate at reduced sound levels, allowing homeowners to enjoy their comfort without intrusive noise. Additionally, the units support on-demand dehumidification, which works in conjunction with the EcoNet thermostat to maintain optimal indoor air quality and comfort.

The microchannel condenser and evaporator coils are designed to decrease refrigerant requirements by 50%, reflecting Rheem's dedication to environmental sustainability. The implementation of variable speed technology further improves humidity control and ensures year-round energy savings, making the RDFXYC an eco-efficient choice for homeowners.

User-Centric Design

Recognizing the needs of contractors, Rheem has engineered the RDFXYC cabinet for accessibility. With a more compact height, it simplifies rooftop installations and features a layout that offers easy serviceability. The slide-out blower section and dedicated compartments ensure that servicing these units is hassle-free and efficient.

An interesting feature of the 2-ton model is its two-stage northern heat pump that can deliver up to 40% more heating capacity than traditional heat pumps. This proprietary design produces consistently warmer air, averaging five degrees higher across all heating conditions compared to traditional systems.

Warranty and Legacy

The RDFXYC series comes with a robust warranty package that includes a 10-year compressor warranty and a 10-year conditional parts warranty (upon registration), alongside a limited lifetime warranty for the stainless steel heat exchanger for residential applications. This offering solidifies Rheem's position built upon a century-long legacy dedicated to reliability, innovation, and exceptional performance.
