Rheem Heat Pump Reviews
Rheem is not clear about efficiency ratings for the Rheem heat pumps in their product line-up. Rheem publishes that they offer heat pumps up to 17 SEER but give no HSPF rating which is how heat pumps are rated for efficiency purposes. Rheem is a member of AHRI so whatever efficiency ratings they list are certified by AHRI. Rheem heat pumps for selected Rheem heat pump models come with features such as:
- Tw-Stage compressors in selected high efficiency models for better energy efficiency
- Diagnostics control board for easier heat pump troubleshooting
- Humidity control when matched with the proper air handler
- pressure controls to prevent the unit from running when there is serious problem with heat pump pressures
