So I can read most model numbers, but the Ruud/Rheem numbers continue to baffle me. What is a Rheem model RBHA-14J05NFAA?
And on a 52 degree day, is a 10 differential with 80 degrees at the closest register in heat pump mode satisfactory?
Thanks, JLMathis

what is 10 differential ?
Are you talking temp rise ?
If so how are you measuring it, and where from ?
On a 52* day you should do much better then 80* at the closest suppy.
Even the longest one should be much higher then that.
Check your filter and check for air leaks.

That is a 1 1/2 or 2 ton with 5KW electric heat. 10º seems pretty light....is the heat pump condenser running?

You need to measure temp rise right over the unit, not at registers. On a 52 degree day with just the heat pump, you should be around 30 degree increase. 5kw isn't much heat so air won't be too much warmer with backup on.
