3 Ton Rheem 13.4 SEER2 R454B Heat Pump Package Unit RHPBYB036AJT000NAAUA
With a 76 dB outdoor sound rating, the lowest in Rheem's RHPBYB lineup, the RHPBYB036AJT000NAAUA brings 3 tons of quieter all-in-one heating and cooling to family homes. This dedicated-horizontal packaged heat pump is rated 13.4 SEER2 and 6.7 HSPF2 under AHRI #215863990 on R-454B refrigerant and includes the factory tinned indoor coil option for added corrosion resistance.
Is a 3 Ton Package Heat Pump the Right Size?
Rheem rates the RHPBYB036AJT000NAAUA at 34,200 BTU/h of net cooling, 34,000 BTU/h of heating at 47°F, and 18,500 BTU/h at 17°F. Three tons suits family homes with several bedrooms, open living areas, and larger manufactured homes.
Large window areas and two-story layouts can push the load higher, while new windows and insulation bring it down. Make sure the duct system can carry 1,200 CFM, and plan backup heat around your coldest winter temperatures. A load calculation confirms the size.
Ideal for: Family homes with three to four bedrooms, larger manufactured homes, installs near patios or bedrooms where lower sound matters, and replacement of an existing 3 ton package heat pump.

Recommended system sizes are general guidelines only. Actual heating and cooling requirements depend on insulation, climate, windows, ductwork, ceiling height, and occupancy. A Manual J load calculation is the best way to confirm sizing. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.
