• The Rheem Prestige Series™ Two-Stage line of upflow/

horizontal gas furnaces are designed for utility rooms, closets,
alcoves, or attics. Because of the furnace’s low-profile 34
inch [864 mm] height, the upflow model installed vertically
can also be used to satisfy most applications that traditionally
call for a horizontal furnace.

• The design is certified by CSA International.

• The Comfort Control 2 System™ provides over 28 on-board

diagnostics and fault history codes by detecting system and
electrical problems. “Call for Service” alert notification is sent
to the thermostat to alert the homeowner of required service.

Serial Com muni cat ing Condensing Unit and user interface
control (RHC-TST550CMMS) 500 Series thermostat this unit
offers 4 or 2 wire installation, auto-configuration, and diag-
nostic messaging with full communicating capability.
