The Rheem Prestige Series™ High‑Efficiency Two‑Stage RASL/RARL‑JEC air conditioner is engineered for homeowners who want top‑tier comfort, quiet operation, and long‑term reliability. Built for single‑family, multi‑family, and light commercial applications, this system delivers exceptional cooling performance with efficiency ratings up to 19.5 SEER. Its two‑stage compressor provides precise temperature control, improved humidity management, and smoother operation during extreme Chicago summers. This unit uses an environmentally responsible refrigerant that contains no CFCs or HCFCs, helping protect the ozone layer while delivering powerful cooling. The Prestige Series also includes Rheem’s advanced Comfort Control2 System™, offering more than 30 onboard diagnostics and fault history codes. With Active Protection™, the system automatically prevents compressor operation when harmful conditions are detected and sends a “Call for Service” alert to the thermostat. When paired with a Rheem communicating air handler and Series 500 thermostat, the system offers full serial communication, auto‑configuration, and enhanced diagnostic messaging. For homeowners who prefer traditional wiring, the unit is fully compatible with standard 24VAC controls and non‑communicating thermostats. A compressor sound blanket comes standard, reducing noise for quieter backyard operation. When matched with a variable‑speed furnace or air handler, the system adjusts airflow to improve humidity control and overall comfort. The Prestige Series also features one of the industry’s lowest profiles at just 33 inches tall, making installation easier and less visually intrusive. The cabinet is built with galvanized steel and a powder‑coated finish for long‑lasting durability. A wrap‑around louvered jacket protects the coil from weather and yard hazards, while the reinforced top grille adds strength and stability. Serviceability is simple thanks to a removable top grille and single‑panel access to all controls. Every model meets or exceeds a 1000‑hour salt spray test, ensuring dependable performance in harsh weather conditions.
