Rheem shared heat pump technology to support the market segment.

Rheem showcased several products at the 2026 NAHB International Builders’ Show (IBS). Backed by a global portfolio of 50 brands, Rheem presented several solutions.
With increasing residential demand for efficient, year-round heating and cooling solutions, Rheem shared heat pump technology to support the market segment, which is expected to more than double* in the next decade. Rheem’s newest 2026 product, Endeavor Line Classic Plus Series Universal Heat Pump, aims to provide efficient, dependable heating and cooling for homeowners while reducing utility bills.
Meeting consumers’ comfort needs
Alongside its heat pump portfolio, Rheem offers a range of solutions from tank and tankless water heaters to high-efficiency gas furnaces. Rheem’s whole-home options deliver integrated heating, cooling and water heating products engineered to work seamlessly as a complete home comfort system.
Rheem showcased nearly a dozen products during IBS 2026, including:
ecobee Smart Thermostat Lite | Works with EcoNet Technology
