Review:
Bought a house that was 7 years old. Within a week, the Rheem furnace
quit working on a Friday night. I thought it was because my wife did not
know how to set the programmable thermostat in our new house. The
problem was with the furnace itself. I called my father, who is an HVAC repairman. He walked me through a troubleshooting procedure and we
managed to identify a bad hot surface ignitor. After one cold night, I
found one locally the next day, and payed dearly for it. Installed it
myself and was back in business. A year later, the costly replacement
part failed again in the exact same spot. This time, I bought two so I
have a spare (and got them at a big discount this time). Neighbors have
had the exact same problem and have had repair bills close to $400 for
this. Did I mention that I am on my third circuit board? The first time
the board went out, I was out of town. Apparently, the ac condenser kept
running while the rest of the air handler quit. As a result, the
compressor overheated and was destroyed. So a small circuit board took
out my whole ac unit. I am going to replace this furnace and ac before
it fails again.

Damn thing is only 6 years old. The last furnace was 25 years old when it needed more than a cleaning. They don't make them like they used to.

Review:
This unit has been nothing but problems since day 1. It has had almost
everything replaced in it but the fan. That will probably go next.

Review:
I had three companies quoted me a Trane to replace my old Rheem unit
which is 27 yrs old (and had no prior problems).
When I looked at customer reviews, the Trane did not bode well. When I looked at Rheem reviews, it seems no one like Rheem as well.
So, what the heck? Which should I go for? Sounds like the quality across the board has gone down.

Review:
Bought our house new in 1983. I have had Rheem air conditioner since
1984. One repair 2 years ago, I believe it is now just died. I guess this one was a keeper.

Review:
We are extremely unhappy with our electric furnace!!! It was fine when
we had it installed and then about a week later, it was laboring as if the motor was running backwards when starting up. We called the company that we bought it from and they replaced it three times!!! It didn't help the problem. He said there was nothing he could do. We can't sleep at nights because of the noise of the blower. It sounds like a helicopter. We can hear the clicking of the timers as well, and right before the furnace comes on, the thermostat in our hallway makes a loud pop!!!! We have to turn the tv up loud when the furnace is running.

Review:
We are about ready to take the plunge and buy a new high efficiency
furnace. The one we currently own is a Rheem; still going strong after
33 years and it has never failed. Reading the reviews, regardless of
the brand, the new models all seem to have problems of some sort.
Makes me wonder if replacing our old trusty Rheem, regardless of
whether or not it's efficient as today's new models, is something we
are going to regret.

Review:
One reason I bought this furnace is because it was advertised as one of
the quietest furnace on the market. It's so loud you have to talk over
it. The service people told me that's as low as it goes.

I have been installing Rheem/Ruud equipment for over 15 years. I have a
2 ton 13 seer heat pump on the 2nd floor and a 60mbh 90% modulating furnace on the first floor. I must say, I do love them all!

Review:
I'm writing this review because it's 3am and I woke up to the smoke
alarms and a house full of smoke because of the stupid furnace. This is
the second incident with this. We also had to replace the blower fan
after 1 year of our house being built. This will be our third winter
here and it looks like it's going to be a long one. I also agree that
the thing is way too loud. Not happy with system at all.
