Delivering 24,000 BTU/h of heating and cooling, this unit operates with high efficiency and utilizes environmentally responsible R‑454B refrigerant. With a 13.4 SEER2 and 6.7 HSPF2 rating, it offers year-round comfort with reduced environmental impact. The model supports horizontal ducted airflow, making it ideal for installations in crawlspaces, basements, or tight mechanical rooms.
Performance
Built around a single-stage scroll compressor, the RHPBYB024AJT000NA ensures dependable operation across varying weather conditions. It features an EER2 of 10.6, with a rifled-tube, louvered-fin condenser coil for improved thermal transfer. The blower delivers a consistent 800 CFM, supporting optimal duct system performance. Equipped with a microchannel condenser, this unit minimizes refrigerant volume while maximizing surface area for heat exchange, helping maintain steady indoor comfort levels.
Smart Features
This model integrates Rheem’s PlusOne® Refrigerant Detection System, which automatically shuts down the unit in the event of a leak. Serviceability is enhanced with PlusOne® Diagnostics and service-friendly access panels, making maintenance fast and efficient. While it doesn't include native smart tech, the system is fully compatible with Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats and zoning systems that support standard 24 V control protocols, enabling connected comfort through popular third-party platforms.
Comfort & Noise
Designed with noise reduction in mind, the unit operates at approximately 82 dBA and uses sound-insulated components to ensure quieter performance. Its horizontal airflow configuration promotes uniform air distribution and consistent room temperature control. The efficient blower design helps maintain steady airflow, preventing hot and cold spots throughout the space. Homeowners benefit from comfort consistency in every season without disruptive noise levels.
Use Case Fit
The RHPBYB024AJT000NA is ideal for residential properties, multi-family housing, and light commercial spaces that require horizontal mounting. Its compact footprint and horizontal airflow orientation make it especially suited for crawlspaces, attics, or areas with limited vertical clearance. With moderate heating capabilities and efficient cooling, it’s a versatile solution for mixed-climate regions and retrofit projects alike.
Value & Reliability
The RHPBYB Classic Series unit is built for durability with a powder-coated steel cabinet, slide-out blower assembly, and service ports for fast diagnostics. Designed to handle real-world operating conditions, it features high and low pressure switches, a factory-installed filter drier, and full-load run testing. Rheem’s design emphasizes long-term reliability while supporting environmentally conscious refrigerant standards through the use of R‑454B.
