Lower Your Energy Bills and Your Carbon Footprint1 While
Increasing Comfort
We created the Russell® by Rheem Vantix®
Line of Gas Furnaces, Air Handlers, Split and Packaged Air Conditioners,
Split and Packaged Heat Pumps, and Packaged Gas Electric units in
response to tougher Department of Energy regulations that went into
effect in 2023. Rather than simply making our products larger to achieve
increased efficiencies, we redesigned them from the ground up to create
our most energy efficient, dependable, capable and sustainable lineup
yet. Because we’ve always been comfortable with innovation.
SUSTAINABILITY IN ACTION
Many Vantix products meet an internally defined set of
sustainability criteria, making each one a Sustainability
Standout®
