Description
- Flexible & Universal Install Compatibility:
— Works with nearly any HVAC System – including Ruud EcoNet® Enabled systems and non-communicating systems
— Install with any indoor system component via a Ruud algorithm (IMPORTANT: the indoor system component CFM must match the requirement of the outdoor system component)
— Install as a Universal Replacement with minimal alterations (coil only – with TXV) - Space Saver Solution: The RD17AZ - with footprint options as low as 36.6" tall and 40.2" 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 58dB: 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

— 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
