2 Ton Rheem 16 SEER2 R454B Side Discharge Heat Pump Condenser RD16AY24AJVCA
Product Overview
The Rheem Endeavor RD16AY is a compact, ultra-quiet, and highly efficient side-discharge heat pump designed for homes where space is at a premium. Part of the "Sound & Space Constraint Solution," this unit features a slim profile that fits easily in cramped locations while delivering powerful whole-home comfort.
Engineered for sustainability, this model uses low-GWP R-454B refrigerant, reducing environmental impact without sacrificing performance. It is EcoNet enabled for smart control and features built-in Bluetooth connectivity for faster, easier installation and service.
Features and Benefits
- Space Saver Solution: The RD16AY-with footprint options as low as 31.8" tall and 19.8" wide-is ideal for when installation locations are constrained; but is also perfect for any system or replacement option where an efficient, streamlined look is desired
- Quiet Operation as low as 50dBA: Offers sound dampening features such as a sound blanket, refrigerant tubing design, fan blade approach and innovative compressor and drive technologies-ensure that as efficiency goes up, sound levels stay low
- EcoNet Enabled: Automatic system configuration and optimization
- PlusOne Diagnostics & Bluetooth Connectivity: With the Rheem Contractor & EcoNet Apps, built-in technology makes advanced set-up, monitoring, troubleshooting, and repairing the product easier than ever before
- PlusOne Variable Speed Twin Rotary Compressor & Inverter Drive:
- Features variable speed operation from 45 to 100% capacity with the EcoNet Smart Thermostat or with legacy and other thermostats when the utility 1 & 2 jumpers are installed or using the Rheem algorithm
- Provides precise temperature control, advanced humidity control and greater efficiency
- Brushless DC Condenser Motors (BLDC): Enhances reliability and allows for easier serviceability
- Swept Wing Fan Technology: Features quieter operation and improved unit acoustics
- 7mm Condenser Copper Coil: Requires less refrigerant allowing for a smaller and lighter footprint while enhancing reliability
- Optional Base Pan Heater: Utilizes a built-in thermostat to regulate the heating operation to prevent ice build-up on the base pan during extreme cold weather conditions
- Traditional Refrigerant Piping: Allows for use of existing refrigerant line sets for further ease of replacement installation flexibility
- 10-Year Conditional Parts Warranty (registration required): Coverage when installed as a heat pump only or as part of a system-with no AHRI matched system requirement
- PlusOne Refrigerant Detection System: An integrated one-box, patented design featuring the A2L sensor and mitigation board, offering easier commissioning with a single component and simplified wiring configuration, compatibility with the any 24V thermostat application and system protection by automatically pausing outdoor unit operation-if excess refrigerant is detected
- Designing for Sustainability with Low GWP: For 2025, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a global warming potential (GWP) limit of 700 for refrigerant used in heating and cooling systems. This new requirement will result in a 78% lower GWP than previous-generation refrigerants- with only minimal changes to system installation. For us, this is another step toward our continued sustainability goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while still delivering an exceptional level of energy efficient, dependable comfort
