All of the new Rheem heat pumps come with a TXV installed from the factory.
*MOST* Rheem heat pumps come from the factory with both high and low
pressure safety switches, built in filter/driers, built in hard start kits,
and ALL are in a steel cabinet. Rheem is also top rated by Consumer Reports.

FWIW, I would highly recommend that your new system(regardless of brand)
uses R-410a refrigerant.

Now all you have to find is a *competent*, licensed, insured, professionally
trained, HVAC technician to do the installation.
