Rheem

Rheem is a major American HVAC and water heating manufacturer. Its Endeavor Line Prestige Series holds the brand's top-efficiency inverter air conditioners, including the RA19AY.

Rheem builds central air conditioners across its Classic, Classic Plus, and Prestige tiers. The Endeavor Line Prestige RA19AY leads with an inverter-driven variable-speed compressor. Rheem pairs the unit with registered parts and unit replacement warranty coverage.

Efficiency and Compressor Technology

The RA19AY sits in Rheem's top Endeavor Line Prestige Series. Rheem lists cooling efficiencies up to 20 SEER2 and 13 EER2 for the model. This ranks it at the top of Rheem's residential air conditioner range.

The RA19AY uses an inverter-driven, variable-speed compressor. Rheem states the inverter-driven variable-speed compressor technology features cooling operation between 40% and 100% of capacity. This modulation lets the unit run long, low-output cycles for steady comfort.

Warranty Coverage

Rheem backs the RA19AY with registered limited warranty terms. Rheem lists a Parts warranty of ten (10) years and a Conditional Unit Replacement warranty of ten (10) years, with registration required for the unit replacement term.

The registration condition applies to the unit replacement coverage. The ten-year parts term covers the model's functional components.
