Rheem FER (Fan Energy Rating) Information
Starting July, 2019, furnace manufacturers will no longer be able to manufacture furnaces with motors that do not meet the new efficiency guidelines. This directly impacts furnaces manufactered with PSC motors.
Example Rheem furnace models that are impacted are: R801P, R802P, R92P, R95P, R96P
ABR Wholesalers, Inc. is committed to making this transition smooth. As the PSC models become unavailable from Rheem we'll be replacing those models with furnaces that use Constant Torque and ECM motors.
Here are quick links to information regarding the FER rating and Rheem's cross reference guide to new models.
Please update your pricing with the latest Constant Torque and ECM Models. Be aware of any upcoming furnace projects quoted with PSC motors that may be impacted.
Here is a shortcut list of the model changes from PSC to Constant Torque:
- R801S ⇒ R801C
- R801P ⇒ R801T
- R802P ⇒ R802T
- R92P ⇒ R92T
- R95P ⇒ R95T
- R96P ⇒ R96T
- RGEA14AJD ⇒ RGEA14AJT
When will this impact me?
⇒ Starting July, Rheem will no longer manufacture PSC motor driven furnaces. Prepare for possible impact by mid July.
Will the new Constant Torque models cost more?
⇒ The new furance models with constant torque will cost more than the phased out PSC motor driven furnaces
