Description
The RD16AY24AJVCA is a 2-ton outdoor heat pump designed for residential split systems. Itβs suitable for homes between 900 and 1,200 square feet and offers both heating and cooling in a compact, side-discharge format. The unit features a single-stage compressor and uses R-454B refrigerant to meet updated environmental standards. Its design supports installation in tight spaces, such as zero-lot-line homes or urban settings, where traditional top-discharge units may not fit. The cabinet layout allows for straightforward service access, and it pairs easily with compatible indoor air handlers or coils. This model is a practical choice for homeowners seeking reliable year-round comfort in space-constrained environments.
