Worst water heater!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Rheem - Worst water heater!

My first Rheem water heater failed after a year. It was replaced under warranty, but not labor.

The second one failed three years later with a bad gas valve. I will never again buy or install any Rheem products. They are absolute junk. If they gave me another one, I wouldn't install it in my house.

The reviews I now see are accurate. It's a faulty unit with many issues.

Loss:
$1000
Cons:
  • Poor design

Preferred solution: Nothing now. It’s more labor to install it than it’s worth. I want it to last like any other hot water heater.

User's recommendation: Do Not Buy a Rheem Product.

Brand new Rheem water heater floods garage

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

After loosing almost everything I own in hurricanes Helene and Milton I stored everything I had left along with new building materials in my garage. I purchased a new Rheem hot water heater to replace the one lost in Milton.

36 hours later it floods my garage and luckily I only loose about 1500.00 dollars of new doors, printer and joint compound. Rheem and home depot have different return policies so o loose a day being jerked around with getting a new one. Rheem wants me to save it Home depot wants it back. Rheem has a loss department so I give them all the information.

They get everything wrong from the spelling of my name to email address. They finally send me an email stating they, "They are not n insurance company" and I should reach out to my insurance company. They must realize with all insurance companies nothing will be paid out. They do not want to reimburse me for my lose but want all receipts and photos of my damages.

I send them the information and am waiting to hear that it will be denied. Do not buy Rheem products of any kind. It is not an American business but was bought by the Japanese.

They also would not honor my 10 year parts warranty on my Rheem air conditioner. Rheem is a joke and will take your money and not honor any agreement.

Couldn't figure out how to initiate startup procedure.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The Rheem tankless water heater had a slightly different startup procedure than I'm used to with Rinnai. Everything else is great though and works wonderfully. The customer support team was very thorough and informative.

User's recommendation: Highly recommend a tankless water heater from rheem!

Questions about my water heater

I just recently bought my house and the water pressure is low. I'd like to know how to turn the pressure up.

I have eliminated all problems that might be causing the low water pressure. It is coming from the water heater itself.

Customer Service? Nope!

Rheem has been non-responsive.

Too many hoops to jump through to speak to a human being.

Website is glitchy, makes it very hard to find contact information.

Rheem quality of subcontractors

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

ARS Rooter, a subcontractor who installed Rheem, has poor service. Even though they advertise a 5-year labor warranty, they don't find the issue until your labor warranty expires.

Rheem is poorly built, especially their heat pump unit. How does a service company miss a coolant leak for 5 years, and once the labor warranty expires, they find the leak and want to charge me 2500 for labor, since Rheem provides a 10-year warranty.

View full review
Pros:
  • Cheaper in price
Cons:
  • Unreliable poor quality

Preferred solution: Cover labor cost since this has been ongoing issue since installation.

User's recommendation: Avoid Rheem heat pump product

Warranty for gas water heater

I contacted their customer service several times about my water heater leak in February 2024. My warranty on the water heater was still in effect, but all I got was the run-around on the phone.

They waited until my warranty expired before they called me back. Rheem never responded or resolved my issue.

I requested a supervisor to call me, but they never responded at all. Then, I kept calling and was on hold for 90 minutes, but no supervisor ever picked up.
