ing homeowners to manage the products that consume up to
65% of the their home’s energy. EcoNet sets Rheem, and our
distributor and contractor customers, apart in the industry with a
unique, advanced and efficient technology solution.
The RA20 Prestige™ Series inverter driven Variable Speed Air
Conditioner is exclusively designed to operate with the EcoNet™
Smart Home System. Developed by Rheem, The EcoNet Smart
Home System allows homeowners to manage select high-
efficiency, EcoNet Enabled air conditioners, heat pumps, gas
furnaces, air handlers and water heaters from anywhere. EcoNet
Enabled products in a home are connected through standard
HVAC wiring; then contractors have the option of adding an
EcoNet WiFi Kit ( 1 ) so the homeowner can access everything
remotely through a free mobile app or mobile-friendly website.
The Control Center ( 2 ) acts as both a thermostat for the heat-
ing and cooling system, and a remote control for connected
water heaters.

As manufactured, all units in the RA20 family have cooling capa-
bility to 40°F. Addition of low ambient control will allow the unit
to operate down to 0°F. Factory testing is performed on each
unit. All component parts meet well defined specification and
continually go through receiving inspections. Each component
installed on a unit is scanned, assuring correct component uti-
lization for a given unit capacity and voltage. All condenser coils
are leak tested with pressurization test to 550#’s and once
installed and assembled, each units’ complete refrigerant
system is helium leak tested. All units are fully charged from the
factory for up to 15 feet of piping. All units are factory run tested.
The RA20 has a 10-year conditional unit replacement warranty
(registration required) and a 10 year limited parts warranty.
