Review:
We've lived in our house for 25 years. Seven years ago our original a/c
gave out and we decided to buy a 3.5 ton, 12 seer Rheem complete system.
Since it's installation, we've had a few problems with it not cooling
properly. The installer had to come back several times the first year
and at least once a year after that - to replace thermostats and the
coil, unfreeze the air handler, replace freon, and other problems. Our
first a/c unit (I can't remember the name) never gave us a problem until
it was 18 byears old! I am very dissapointed in Rheem, especially since
it was very expensive. We live in Florida and it can't handle our hot
and muggy summers.

New 3 ton unit........cost "so far": 3200.00.....has eaten two
compressors, "so far", still hot in georgia........still inop. will have
to condemn, I guess, no one wants to work on it anymore.........parts
under warranty, but labor estimates range from 2000.00 to 650.00(paid
already).strongly recommend not buying this piece of crap.

Review:
We have the Rheem ultra series purchased late March 2008. Our house is
all electric so we have a heat pump. Summer 2008, it is a shuts down
when the temperature gets around 100 degrees and turns itself off on the
hottest days. It won't go back on for several hours when the outside
temperature cools down. It is happening again this summer now. I am very
worried that if it is behaving like this in the first part of summer I
have to question how long this unit will last or will service calls
exceed replacement costs. This will be my 6th summer service call.
Should these Rheems be recalled?

Review:
My house was built in late 2005, and we bought it in the spring of
2006. It has two air/heating units. One of these units needed repairs
last year. Today the repairman told me the compressor is shot. It looks
like it is under warranty but, of course, the service call comes out of
my pocket.
I will never own another Rheem. If I move, I will never buy a house which has Rheem equipment.

Review:
I bought a brand new home in 2006. It had 2 separate air conditioning
units made by rheem. The first compressor on the second floor blew after
year 1!!!!! The entire unit had to be replaced. The next year, my
neighbor, who, by the way, moved into her brand new house less than 6
months earlier than we did, replaced her rheem compressor. This year our
unit on the first floor has leaked out all of the refrigerant and we
have been informed by this hvac guy that our first floor unit must have
had the compressor replaced prior to us moving in, and may be
compromised. In 3 years, I have incurred over $3000.00 in repair bills.
You would be better off throwing your money out the
window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review:
We built our home and had two rheem units installed-they both tear up
and become non-functional constantly. We have had to replace three compressors-
sure the part is under warrantly-but not the $450 service bill. Right
now-one of my outside units in non-functional and heating in emergency
heat only and the second sounds like its getting ready to fall apart.
Would not recommend purchasing this brand.

Review:
Living in South Florida good a/c units are mandatory. I have now replaced
my two original Rheem Central a/c units with new Rheem classic series
papl 3.0 ton 15.50 seer and 2.5 ton 15.50 seer. My old Rheem units were
installed in 1984 when house was built and still running! With new tax
credits and lower electric bills it was time to change them. If get the
right person to install them and have your duct work cleaned they will
last a long time. I priced other manufacturers and Rheem were very
competitively priced and came with solid warranty.
