Rheem Performance Plus Water heater Overview

Just had this installed. It was quick, easy and has so far exceeded my expectations.

Bought the water heater from Home Depot and installed it the next day. Sparker was defective so I called Rheem customer service the same day. They agreed it was defective and told me they would have a service man contact me within 24 hours and have a new sparker shipped to me within 3-5 business days. No service man ever called and no part ever arrived. After 5 days of no hot water, I called the service company myself and had the part replaced and installed at my expense. Will never do business with Home Depot or Rheem again.

So I ended up purchasing a single one of these on a whim. I wanted a direct replacement for the Kenmore unit in my recent duplex purchase as it just wasn't working right and I knew it was time to go. So after some research, I made a quick trip over to Home depot. Mind you, i know nothing about water heaters besides the fact they make my shower hot in the morning. I ended up with this unit due to the extremely high reviews online and honestly, i couldn't be happier. The unit is crazy efficient although I did wrap it in thermal pads to help keep the heat in. My energy bills have gone down drastically and so far, i have not had any issues at all. I've had it for roughly a month now and I firmly believe that if the other unit in my home fails, I will be purchasing another one of these units. For the price and warranty it comes with, it can't be beat.

I am satisfied overall with my Rheem 40 gallon water heater. It performs adequately as I always have enough hot water throughout the day. It's really efficient and doesn't take much to run. I have had it 6 months and have had no issues and notice it is more reliable than the Kenmore unit it replaced. It was easy to install and very easy to adjust the temperature of the water. It takes less footprint than the last model although it's taller than the unit it replaced. There is nothing I dislike, for a water heater it just works. I think it will last well past the 6 years it is rated for. I think I would stick to this brand in the future when I need to replace it. The company seems like a good one and their support, from my experience, was helpful when I had questions about the setup.

Our water heater went out about four months ago. I really wanted a tankless water heater but after looking into the prices we decided to go ahead and get the old tank water heater. I am really glad that we did. We got the Performance Plus 40 Gal. 38,000 BTU High Efficiency Natural Gas Water Heater from Home Depot. We love it. It was easy to install, if you know what you're doing. We always have hot water now. It seems to fill up much faster than our old, way outdated gas tank water heater. We have only had it for four months now, so we have not had any problems with it or need to get it repaired, yet. But I do not think that it will be anytime soon that it will be needing any repairs. Yes I would recommend it to a friend. I also recommend buying the Rheem brand. We always go with Rheem, they are far more widely known and a brand you can trust.
