Rheem ra14ay36aj1nalhp 3 Ton Single-stage Air Conditioner

Product Description

The RHEEM ra14ay36aj1nalhp is a single-stage residential air conditioner from the Endeavor Line Classic Series, rated at 36,000 BTU/h (3 tons) nominal cooling capacity. It operates on 208/230 volt, single-phase, 60 Hz power and uses R-454B refrigerant, a lower-GWP alternative to R-410A. The unit features a scroll compressor and a 7mm condenser coil, with a published sound level of 71 dB. Rated at 13.8/14.3 SEER2, it meets current minimum efficiency standards for residential central cooling systems. Licensed HVAC technicians install and service this unit in split-system configurations paired with a compatible air handler or furnace coil.

This unit is designed for residential split-system cooling applications where a single-stage, single-phase outdoor condensing unit is specified. It is sized for typical 3-ton load calculations in residential construction. The Endeavor Line Classic Series targets straightforward replacement and new-construction installs where EcoNet smart controls are not required. The unit provides a minimum 27 square inches of working area at the expansion valve access point, and features a 15-inch wide corner service access panel removable with two fasteners, reducing service time in tight installations.
