The Rheem RD Series Side-Discharge Heat Pump is expertly engineered to deliver high efficiencies year-round, the Ruud Endeavor Line Achiever Plus Series RD16AY Side-Discharge Heat Pump features a compact footprint, making it the perfect solution when space is at a premium.

Standard Features:

Space Saver Solution: The RD16AY—with footprint options as low as 31.8" tall and 19.8" wide—is ideal for when installation locations are constrained; but is also perfect for any system or replacement option where an efficient, streamlined look is desired

Quiet Operation as low as 50dBA1: Offers sound dampening features such as a sound blanket, refrigerant tubing design, fan blade approach and innovative compressor and drive technologies—ensure that as efficiency goes up, sound levels stay low

EcoNet Enabled2: Automatic system configuration and optimization

PlusOne Diagnostics & Bluetooth®3, 4 Connectivity: With the Ruud Contractor & EcoNet Apps, built-in technology makes advanced set-up, monitoring, troubleshooting, and repairing the product easier than ever before

PlusOne Variable Speed Twin Rotary Compressor & Inverter Drive

Features variable speed operation from 45 to 100% capacity with the EcoNet Smart Thermostat or with legacy and other thermostats when the utility 1 & 2 jumpers are installed or using the Ruud algorithm

Provides precise temperature control, advanced humidity control and greater efficiency

Brushless DC Condenser Motors (BLDC): Enhances reliability and allows for easier serviceability

Swept Wing Fan Technology: Features quieter operation and improved unit acoustics

7mm Condenser Copper Coil: Requires less refrigerant allowing for a smaller and lighter footprint while enhancing reliability

Optional Base Pan Heater: Utilizes a built-in thermostat to regulate the heating operation to prevent ice build-up on the base pan during extreme cold weather conditions

Traditional Refrigerant Piping: Allows for use of existing refrigerant line sets for further ease of replacement installation flexibility

10-Year Conditional Parts Warranty (registration required): Coverage when installed as a heat pump only or as part of a system—with no AHRI matched system requirement

PlusOne Refrigerant Detection System: An integrated one-box, patented design featuring the A2L sensor and mitigation board, offering easier commissioning with a single component and simplified wiring configuration, compatibility with the any 24V thermostat application and system protection by automatically pausing outdoor unit operation if excess refrigerant is detected

Designing for Sustainability with Low GWP: For 2025, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a global warming potential (GWP) limit of 700 for refrigerant used in heating and cooling systems. This new requirement will result in a 78%7 lower GWP than previous-generation refrigerants with only minimal changes to system installation. For us, this is another step toward our continued sustainability goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while still delivering an exceptional level of energy efficient, dependable comfort
