Rheem’s top-tier furnace line, the Prestige Series, includes models ranging from 80 to 96 percent AFUE. Within the product line, Rheem offers a line of modulating gas furnaces offering 92 percent AFUE or above that feature the company’s Contour Comfort Control (CCC) thermostat.
When installed with a Serial Communicating Condensing unit and thermostat, the CCC system provides enhanced interface control and precise temperature control as the system automatically adjusts to dips in the temperature. In addition, an extensive menu on the LED thermostat allows homeowners to program and customize the temperature for up to a week in advance.
This Energy Star-approved series also features a low speed fan to create constant air movement; an on-board diagnostic system for quick service; an aluminized steel, corrosion-resistant primary heat exchanger; direct spark ignition; and a remote flame sensor.
I have tried contacting Rheem by E-mail, telephone, and snail mail for about a month and receive no reply. Don’t buy from a company that will not stand behind their products.

"Circuit board went out on 8 year old unit."
2.0 rating
Somewhat Unsatisfied
Purchased a Rheem Prestige 90 Plus Modulating gas furnace on October 2004. It has been serviced twice a year since that time. Now the circuit board went out and will be a $550 cost to me and of course the 5 year parts warranty has expired. I was always unhappy with the loud noise of the furnace, but have learned to live with it. And of course I saw the other reviews about the noise after my purchase. Would I purchase another Rheem. Clear answer of NO!
