Description
The Rheem RHPBYB036AJT000NA is a 3-ton packaged dedicated horizontal heat pump designed for residential and light commercial applications. It delivers dependable 36,000 BTU/h cooling capacity and utilizes the environmentally friendly R‑454B refrigerant. The unit features a 14 SEER2 cooling efficiency rating and a 7.5 HSPF2 heating performance rating, making it an energy-efficient choice for year-round comfort. Its horizontal ducted airflow design allows installation in confined spaces like crawlspaces or basements.
Performance
Equipped with a single-stage scroll compressor, the unit ensures consistent, efficient cooling and heating. The coil assembly incorporates a rifled-tube, microchannel condenser coil optimized for effective heat exchange and durability. Airflow is maintained at approximately 1,050 CFM, facilitating balanced air distribution. The unit also boasts an EER2 rating of 11.5, reflecting efficient operation during peak cooling demand.
Smart Features
While this model does not include integrated smart controls, it is compatible with a range of Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats and zoning systems using standard 24V control wiring. The PlusOne® Refrigerant Leak Detection System automatically shuts down operation to protect the system in case of leaks. Service diagnostics are enhanced by LED indicators and easily accessible panels.
Comfort & Noise
With an operational sound level near 83 dBA, the RHPBYB036AJT000NA includes sound-reducing insulation to minimize noise. Its horizontal airflow configuration promotes even air distribution and stable temperatures throughout the conditioned space. The blower design supports steady, comfortable airflow, reducing hot or cold spots and enhancing occupant comfort.
Use Case Fit
Ideal for single-family homes, multi-family units, and light commercial buildings, this heat pump fits installations where horizontal airflow and compact unit dimensions are necessary. It is particularly suited to regions with moderate climates and spaces like crawlspaces, basements, and attics where vertical clearance is limited.
Value & Reliability
The unit’s robust construction features a powder-coated steel cabinet resistant to corrosion and wear. It includes a slide-out blower assembly, factory-installed filter drier, and high- and low-pressure switches to ensure reliable operation. Use of the low-GWP R‑454B refrigerant ensures compliance with current environmental standards and future-proofs the system.
