Rheem Prestige Series Furnace Line



The Rheem Prestige Series 90 Plus Modulating Furnace featuring Contour Comfort Control has been satisfying Contractors and homeowners for more than a decade with its superior efficiency and exceedingly quiet operating features. This award-winning line of furnaces provides customized comfort by contouring itself to individual requirements by producing a continuous temperature rise and airflow. This truly modulating furnace is capable of maintaining air temperature within half a degree of the desired setting.

The Prestige Series is able to work in a two-stage, multistage or modulating capacity, ensuring maximum efficiency based on the needs of homeowners. This results in an AFUE rating of up to 94.8 percent.

Contractors and homeowners alike will appreciate the high-quality, durable construction of this high-efficiency line. Both the primary and secondary heat exchangers are made from stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance.

The Rheem exclusive seven-segment LED display which provides easy-to-read diagnostic information and access to diagnostic history makes the line extremely popular among Contractors. Because the Prestige Series is Energy Star certified, the line exceeds expectations regarding energy and money savings.

The Prestige Series with Contour Comfort Control Gas Furnace is available in upflow (RGFD), downflow (RGGD) or horizontal (RGJD) models, and comes with a 10-year parts warranty and a lifetime conditional unit replacement warranty.

The Ruud Achiever Series of gas furnaces Dual Comfort Control have two stages of heating to save energy while keeping a home extremely comfortable. The "brain" of the Achiever Series is the Integrated Furnace Control (IFC) which directs all activities of major furnace components, making A.F.U.E. ratings of up to 95 percent common.

With the sky-rocketing cost of fuel, homeowners will highly appreciate the smart design of the IFC, which directs the furnace to operate at 70- or 100-percent capacity, eliminating excessive fuel charges. These high-efficiency models are Energy Star rated.

Because an array of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) products can be easily connected to the furnace line, homeowners can achieve an optimal indoor environment. Furthermore, Contractors can effectively meet and exceed business goals by adding humidifiers, air cleaners and other IAQ accessories.

Reliable direct spark ignition eliminates the need for a standing pilot. For added safety, a remote flame sensor constantly monitors the burner flame to ensure it is operating as it should.

Ruud quality is visible in all aspects of the Achiever Series. Both the primary and secondary heat exchangers are constructed of stainless steel for maximum resistance to rust and corrosion. All models feature a low-profile and solid door for quiet operation.

The Achiever Series is available in two upflow models (UGRL, UGRK) and a downflow/horizontal model (UGTK).
