What is a SEER?

What does HSPF stand for?

What does AFUE stand for?

Should outdoor units be covered in winter?
"No. Rheem heat pumps operate year-round and should never be covered. Similarly, air conditioners that operate seasonally are built to withstand an outdoor environment and should not be covered. "

Should a thermostat be set to ""auto"" or ""'on""?"
"Preferably auto. That way, the fan operates only when the temperature requires it. (This is the most used and the most efficient setting.) There are advantages to using the ""on"" setting. Air is constantly filtered through the unit's air filter and the constantly circulating air results in an even temperature throughout the house. Call Precision for other helpful tips. 1-877-427-6246"

Can shrubs or flowers be planted around an outdoor unit?
"Yes. However, we recommend that plants be no closer than 18 inches to the unit. This allows for plenty of room for air circulation in and out of the unit. Without this room for air circulation, the unit could overheat, resulting in a premature need for service. "

If an outdoor unit needs replacing, should the indoor unit be replaced also?
"Yes. Rheem air conditioning and heating units are designed to operate as a complete, matched system. The efficiency rating is based on the entire system. Replacing the entire system ensures the system will be reliable and efficient. Call Precision for a free inspection and price quote. 1-877-427-6246"

How do I know what size unit our house needs?
"Ask your Rheem dealer. He will consider many factors before making a recommendation. Factors like … size of the house, climate, the number and type of windows installed, insulation, and even the number of people living in the house. "

What is the difference between a split system and a package unit?
"A split system uses indoor and outdoor components to provide a complete home comfort system. A package unit or self-contained unit requires no external coils, air handlers, or heating units. "
