Rheem® Expands Commercial Product Offering with Renaissance™ Line Extension

New Higher Efficiency 3-5 Ton Models with Two Stages of Cooling 

ATLANTA, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rheem®, a leading global manufacturer of HVACR and water heating products, announced the expansion of its commercial product offering with a higher efficiency extension to the well-received Renaissance™ Line. The packaged rooftop G/E and A/C lineup now includes 3-5-ton models with two stages of cooling and are purpose-built for commercial heating and cooling, delivering exceptional efficiency and value. The new models strike an ideal balance between intuitive design and cutting-edge technologies, meeting the high-performance demands of modern businesses. 

Engineered for seamless replacements, Rheem Renaissance RACCYC and RGECYC units boast industry-standard footprints, common piping and electrical connections, field-convertible airflow, and minimized weight for unmatched ease of installation. With industry-leading serviceability and installability, the entire Renaissance line streamlines maintenance and installation, resulting in tangible time and cost savings. Time spent performing industry-standard service and preventative maintenance is reduced by up to 100 minutes compared to other commercial HVAC brands. 

"With efficiency ratings up to 16.2 SEER2 and 12 EER2, this extension delivers better performance and is a great fit for a variety of commercial applications, especially K-12 school buildings," said Laura Meyerrose, commercial product manager, Rheem. "Additionally, the availability of Rheem's PlusOne® HumidiDry® hot gas reheat technology that can keep the desired room temperature while continuing to dehumidify in single-phase power models can lead to cost savings while increasing occupant comfort for businesses and separates Rheem from competitors." 

Key features of the Renaissance 3-5 ton two-stage line extension include: 

• PlusOne HumidiDry: HumidiDry hot gas reheat incorporates a variable frequency drive (VFD) that operates at a lower speed on the first-stage cooling, saving energy, enhancing performance, and increasing occupant comfort. 
  
  
• PlusOne ServiceSmart™: Built-in features designed with feedback from HVAC field professionals to improve serviceability and provide easy access to unit components. 
  
  
• Qwik-change flex-fit rack capable of accommodating up to four-inch MERV 8 or MERV 13 filters, ensuring improved indoor air quality. 
  
  
• Qwik-Slide Blower: This feature allows for extremely easy access and removal of the blower assembly for servicing internal components. 
  
  
• Qwik-Clean Drain Pan: Composite material pan that slides out completely allows for effortless cleaning and includes a standard overflow sensor. 
  
  
• PlusOne Velocifin™: A patented, complete redesign of the heat exchanger tubing that increases heat transfer through to deliver better efficiencies. 
  
  
• Full MicroChannel Coils: Maximizes reliability while reducing overall refrigerant weight and improving serviceability, offering cost-saving advantages. 

The Renaissance line extension is available now at local Rheem distributors nationwide. Rheem offers a one-year limited parts warranty, five-year compressor warranty, 10-year standard heat exchanger warranty, and an impressive 20-year stainless steel heat exchanger warranty (heat exchanger warranties apply to gas/electric models only).
