Showcasing a Classic Rheem 5 Ton AC Unit

Shopping around for HVAC solutions can be burdensome, and there are always so many different factors to consider when you’re shopping. In the first place you’ll have to figure out what your requirements are for a space; that is, how much cooling capacity you will need and how much air you will need to manage. You’ll have to figure out how and where to house your AC unit and an air handler if you need one, along with any other necessary equipment, and that will require the input of an experienced technician.

Interestingly, these are the easiest questions to get out of the way, because they are the most prescriptive. There are limits you’ll need to actually adhere to if you’re going to invest in a unit that can provide for the demands of your unique situation. Beyond that, it’s a matter of what features you will want in an AC unit of any make or type that will make it more energy and cost efficient, as well as offering other benefits like increased reliability.

In that event, here are some of the following things you will want to look for and take into account when you are shopping for HVAC solutions, no matter where you live or what your objective needs are as a homeowner or business operator.

In the first place you will want to look for a unit that offers the increased reliability invoked above. Features like a higher cooling capacity and an energy efficient blower motor with customizable directionality can have a great impact on how effective a unit’s performance can be. You’ll also want a unit that is built to easily fit into the footprint that you set aside for it, while at the same time being easy to maintain. Every HVAC system will need periodic maintenance, and a unit that is built to accommodate such service can be a real boon. Besides, you won’t want to be paying extra for jobs that are a hassle.

Here’s another thing to consider. A lot of powerful HVAC, specifically, air conditioning, units, find their homes in places with relatively extreme environments. Something else to look out for is a unit that is built to last. Some air conditioners, condensers and air handlers are built to minimize the condensation that over time will accelerate rusting, among other things. Look for a model with coil protection and enhanced features that will help to buck corrosion, particularly if you know they will be used in an area where they will be subject to adverse conditions.

With all of that in the rearview mirror, take a look at the following  Rheem 5 ton AC unit for an exposition of its benefits. Like any Rheem, this model is exemplary for the quality of its construction and for the performance it is capable of delivering.

As far a Rheem 5 ton AC unit is concerned, you might be hard pressed to find more functionality and better features on a model besides the Rheem/RUUD 5 Ton 16 SEER Air Conditioning System that you can find on our site.

Remember we mentioned the importance of capability? Both the outdoor condenser and the air handler of this system are capable of providing for 60,00 BTU’s of cooling power, so they are well adequate to provide for most situations (although you will need the input of an experienced technician to be sure). In the first place, it has capacity down pat.

In the second place, and taking into account the fact that we mentioned the importance of performance, longevity and durability, this system is stacked to the ceiling with features. The condenser in this system has a new composite base pan, improved tubing design and optimized characteristics for defrosting. These three things come together to make the overall unit more efficient while keeping down the vibration that will result in loud noise during operation and will weaken the unit over time. In addition, optimizing for defrosting will help to eliminate some stress on the system.

This unit also has features that you might not notice without an in depth dive into a sheet of its characteristics. It has enhanced mufflers to keep vibrations and sound down, curved louver panels for the ultimate protection of the coil and even rust resistant screws as a part of its construction that help to eliminate corrosion and reduce the need for replacement. The air handler also has a 4 way design that is designed for upflow, downflow horizontal left and horizontal right flow, depending on your needs during installation and configuration.

As telling as these maintenance and efficiency enhancing features are, they are only a few of the salient selections from a list that is bogged down with them.
