"Three Units in 10 Years"
I've owned three Rheem units in 10 years and the air handlers don't last. My last unit (literally) was purchased two years ago and has had the circuit breaker fail twice, the coils leak, and the cpu went out. I've had different installers in each case, and had the air handler both in the house and in the attic. I also maintainted the unit. I would recommend any other brand but Rheem.

"I hope mine is around for another twenty"
We got a 3 ton when we were told a 2 ton would do. We did it for two reasons, one the unit would not have to work as hard and two we may add onto our home. We have not done anything other then clean and oil the unit in twenty years. The furnace part of it, had to have a new control panel put it in at 15 years and we did that our self for the cost of 225.00. It was easy, there is a trouble shooting light on the unit that lets you know what you need to replace. I don't know if the new Rheems are as good as mine, but I hope mine is around for another twenty. Take care of your units and they'll take care of you.

"Homeowner"
I have used Rheem products before and always satisfied, until now. I purchase a ac/ air- heat unit on 3-9-09 for my home. The installer said it was one of the top of the line, quite very reliable unit. not. Two weeks after it was installed I had to call him back to come check it out because it was so noisy that you could not stand to carry on a conversation if you were any room close by that location of unit. He says it is fine, he has not been back. I do not agree, this unit is no where near any product that I have used with the Rheem name on it. As time goes by it sounds like a part is going to come a loose and fly the walls of my home. This would not be a safe unit to have and pay the amount I paid. I could have paid less and got another brand, but I liked the Rheem products. Will not recommend this product like it is.

"Blower motor going out plus"
Seems unit is getting very noisy. Original installer says it is a blower motor going bad. Should last longer. Make sure you get at least a ten year warranty.

"Not a good brand"
I have spent more than $1000.00 repairing this unit. I had one GE for 35 years I spent less in repairs. Never buy this brand again.

"Technician report on Rheem product / The true facts"
The real truth about Rheem product and any other product for that matter. All systems breakdown. These reviews are a total joke. I am an a/c technician and there is not a better quality unit on the market than Rheem. These complaints as a technician are mostly installation problems, insulation problems or customers venting because the company who installed the unit did not use good judgement when installing the system. They had a freon leak on a solder joint and the system doesn't cool, that is not a manufacture problem that is a installation problem. People, please use a reputable company and if there is a problem find out what the real problem is before bashing any name brand out there. 85% of problems are installation problems not product malfunctions. This is my 2 cents for what it's worth.

"piece of junk"
Got it in July 2009. Worked fine for one day. The stupid thermostat keeps saying call for service. Stopped working about 20 times since then in Florida that's unbearable. I had to buy a window unit as a backup for when it breaks.

"My Rheem keeps me cool."
I've had my Rheem air condition about a year know and it is an upgrade indeed this summer. I live in South Florida and I put an sir conditioner through its paces almost all year round! It cools the house efficiently and quickly and despite the fact that it is a larger a/c unit than my last one it is efficient enough in how it uses energy that I have not seen a large jump in my energy bill.

"It's an alright unit."
Runs perfectly during the winter months when its responsible for heating the house. There also have been little to no issues with cooling during months of lighter cooling usage, such as May and June. But in the months of July and August, when the temperature often soars to 100 degrees, I feel like the unit struggles to keep up with the cooling needs of our condo. During these times it'll take a bit longer to recognize how hot it is, meaning that for a while we'll be sweating it out while we wait for the unit to kick back on again (we have it set to automatic). Either way it's not that serious a problem, just felt it was worth mentioning. We've never had to make any repairs to it, which is great! I would have no problems recommending this model to a friend.
