Review:
I wouldnt recomend this furnace to anyone. After calling very confused
tech who very oviously didnt have a clue. After replacing flame sensor
and several hours of phone tag. Dont bother calling Rheem direct they
wont talk to you and are very rude. I finally figured out that it was
the circut board on my own. If you like freezing and dealing with rude
people then buy a Rheem.

Review:
Rheem is a company that once they get your money and the warranty is up
they no longer care about you. They do not stand behind their product
and are very rude. If they want to stay in business they need to change
their attiude. I would not buy anymore of their junk. My ge water heater
had aproblem and they fixed it in 2 days I have aproblem with Rheem and
all I get is attitude. No more junk rheem products for me.

Review:
I have citerion for 15 years. The first time, I had problem after 5 yrs
using; I called for service. It cost me $160 to replaced ignitor. Next
time, I knew the problem when it happened again; I bought a new ignitor
and changed it myself. I saved $110. I learnt and know how the gas
furnace works. When the motor quit. I changed it myself. I am happy to
repair things I own. Here is my advice: Learn to fix things you own from
on-line, books borrow from libraries. It 's not for fun but for
survival. I own rental properties. I called contractors for estimate to
replace an electrical furnace. Prices change dramatically from $2800. to
$900. What the hell is that! Please don't tell me: You get what you pay
for. It's rediculous. The installer want to scare you; So you have to
pay more. Most hvac owners have employees installing or do manual works.
Most employees just work for a living. They just do the job. You have to
look and do your own inspection. I know how the furnace works. I know
the parts and where to buy them and I know how to replace them. So I go
with $900. Reehm electrical furnace. I will see how long it last; How
much it costs me to own and use this Rheem unit. I check and maintenance
it myself.

Review:
Our company has been installing rheem for 4 years now. not one service
call. installed correctly is the key. the reason customers complain of
the noise is because it is actually moving air across the heat
exchanger. old furnace fan blowers are usually matted in layers of hair
and dust,CFM is probably 600. any new furnace has 1200 to 1600 cfm.
there are slower blower speeds, just watch your temperature rise. fan
speed helps make the furnace effecient. all problems with rheem are
usually installer error, the venting is unique and the instructions must
be read to properly install. get a family run business to do the
install. large companies use low paid employees or peice work, the
faster its done the more they make.

Review:
Installed a Rheem Modulating furnace w/AC after having problems with my
York. What a great decision -- the rheem keeps my entryway toasty warm when
the york did not. Havent had a single problem with the Rheem in 3yrs
and counting.

Review:
Review: I have a Rheem Critereon ii Plus 2 (80%). It is a piece of
garbage. I would not buy it again. It did not work after first winter we
installed. The gas doesn't turn on or the spark, always one or the
other. I called Rheem & they did not help me either, nor the installer
who installed it. I talked to many installers since then & everybody has
the same answer - that Rheem furnaces are a piece of garbage. On cold
nights I would shut off the power to the furnace & after 10 minutes turn
back on & some times it worked but this year I am getting a new furnace
(Lennox or Carrier)after talking to installers. Enough is Enough.

Review:
This furnace was just replaced after 46 years, and that is only because
we didn't want to have to do it on an emergent basis.
We have no complaints about it, and would tell anyone that if you do your regular maintenance, as with anything, it will serve you well. Our furnace didn't owe us anything

Review:
Purchased RGDD-series 70 Plus with 20yr warranty on the heat exchanger.
Only repair was from problem in installation, until this last winter.
Unit will not heat. Since it is nearly 20 yrs old, and our A/c has been
leaking freon (Janitrol), we are considering switching to a heat pump.
The furnace heated the house well, but the price of natural gas has
tripled in the last year. My only complaint (aside for no longer
heating.) is the noise of the fan. Very noisy.

Review:
Super loud, would be a better name for it.The sound of the blower moving
air is so loud we have to turn up the tv when it comes on. The installer
said. "wow see how quiet it is"
