Getting Familiar with a Rheem 3 Ton AC Unit

If there’s one thing we have a lot of at Budget Air Supply, it’s air conditioning systems. Then again, we also have quite a lot of heating and cooling systems that make uses of gas fired furnaces, heat pumps, air handlers, and more. We have a lot to choose from.

That being said, today we’re going to get very familiar with one of the Rheem 3 ton AC units that we feature prominently on our website - the Rheem 3 Ton 16 SEER Air Conditioning System that you can find at the link above. It’s weighed down with features that make it powerful, robust, reliable, and long lasting.

This Rheem 3 ton AC unit comes with the Rheem “Classic” condenser as well as a Rheem air handler and a free digital thermostat. The condenser itself has plenty of features that enhance its energy efficiency, reliability and durability, including some of the following:

●Corrosion Resistance: As you may be aware, condensers are constantly subject to the ravages of the elements, frequently being located outside. This particular condenser is made with a new composite base pan which eliminates corrosion as well as several other features that do the same. The cabinet that contains the unit is powder-coated, which gives it much more resilience to the elements. In addition, rust-resistant screws are used in its construction - and 35% fewer fasteners are used at that.

●Noise Dampening: In addition to an advanced design that makes this condenser better able to stand strong in the face of adverse conditions, it has also been designed to cut back on noise. Condensers are loud, droning pieces of equipment, but this one features an updated, improved tubing design to cut back on noise and vibration. In addition, it’s made with updated, enhanced mufflers and a scroll compressor that is designed to produce less vibration and consequently, less noise.

●Coil Protection: When it comes to durability, a powder-coat finish and rust resistant screws are not the only bonuses that you can throw the way of a condenser. This model is also made with curved louver panels that provide a great deal of extra rigidity and strength to the cabinet and provide the best possible coil protection.

●Easier Access for Maintenance: This condenser is made with a diagnostic service window that’s easy to access and open (it’s only held shut with two fasteners) and features PlusOne^TM Service Access - which is 15 inches wide and offers some of the best access in the industry. Repairs are easier and conducted with greater efficiency with this updated feature!

As for the air handler that comes with this model, it is also designed to buck the elements, to last a long time, and to operate more smoothly. It comes with some of the following features:

●A Four Way Design: This air handler is made with a four way convertible design, enabling it to be worked into nearly any location. It can provide two-way horizontal flow or upflow or downflow, whatever is needed for your specific arrangement.

●Durable Construction: Like the condenser unit with which it is paired, this air handler is built to last. It comes with a factory installed indoor coil and a tough cabinet. The cabinet is lined with foil-faced insulation that is an inch thick. This insulation helps the unit run more efficiently, but just like the condenser unit mentioned above, it also cuts back on noise and vibration. Since the air handler will be located inside your house, this is a valuable feature.

●Enhanced Airflow: Efficiency is another important feature of air handlers and AC systems, and this air handler makes the most of it. That’s one of the reasons that the air conditioner system as a whole gets a 16 SEER rating.

In addition to the 36,000 BTUs of cooling power that the condenser offers, the air handler throws in another 36,000 on top of it, rounding out this unit. This Rheem air conditioner can also be outfitted with an electric heat strip, so it can serve as the ultimate package unit for those living in very hot areas where only a little bit of heat is needed in the winter.

In addition to this Rheem 3 ton AC unit, we also sell Rheem heat pumps, heat pump package units, dual fuel systems, split systems and more - if you can find a need for it, we provide the heating and cooling!
