I am trying to register my new air conditioning unit but the form will not accept my numbers.
I have tried to get someone on the phone but none of the numbers I found are working.

3 1/2 years ago I hade a water heater replaced that was 12 years old with a brand new Rheem. Yesterday, I had to again replace the Rheem due to the Water Tank Failure. While it was still covered under a limited warranty, the Partnership the have with The Home Depot is a joke. Warranty clearly states that if a tank failure occurs, a replacement will be provided. Bah! The only give you a percentage of credit towards the purchase of a new unit, which ended up costing me $513 additional. The Warranty does not mention anything about having to co-pay a new unit.
Home Depot just sticks to "That's what Rheem tells us to do, so they cannot help". I suggest partering with a better company that stands behind there products. After reading all of these messages, I now realize I am screwed once again as I replaced a Rheem with another because thats all Home Depot had that would work.
Stay away and pray for me that this lasts longer than 3+ years again.

Purchase a Rheem Professional hot water heater in hopes of taking a warm shower. After installation igniter failed to work. Contacted customer support for assistance and tech support after several failed attempts the tech support person informed me he would send a tech of course I waited and returned a call to customer support who then informed me that I would not see the tech until Monday along with a new part. Monday rolls around and no tech or part. I contacted the support team and was informed the part had not been shipped due to the weekend. Therefore, I should have the part no later than Tuesday. No that Tuesday has passed I am hotter than hell, and no one has contacted me on the status. This is totally unsatisfactory. When you purchase a new product it is expected to work as designed. I will return this product to home depot tomorrow so you can deal with problem.

I got a Rheem central air installed in 2016 and the very same day we turned it on it blew warm air. I called the guys who installed it, they came out and put a new alum. coil on it. It ran O.K. then and in 2017. Today I turn it on and the same thing warm air. Now they tell me it has a leak. I have to pay for the labor and coolant they put in and they have to find the leak. I am not happy at all. A new central air and now this. I sent an email to Rheem but not reply. I will never buy from them again.

I'm a retired contractor. 25 years doing everything but block work. Always volunteer and people get in touch if they know someone that needs help. Always ready to help someone that genuine needs help. My father in law has a care giver. Single Mom and her Mother live in a house they are buying under land contract. A lot of hard luck has left them from pay to pay. When I found out their water heater leaked to the point it wouldn't relight I jumped in to help. Allen Adams has been prompt and professional and you can tell he cares about his customers. I hope you have others like Allen because he is a gem. A great example of how customer service should be! Thank You Allen Adams!. ps bought my first Rheem water heater a couple years back and it completely outperforms any water heater I have ever had. And at 61 I've had quite a few. Will always be a loyal customer and I tell everyone about the heater and will about the customer service.

I first tried sending an email to you but was unable to submit it so I went to the phone number printed on my water heater. I was directed to one of your customer service representatives. My question was, I have a 75 gallon Rheem water heater model number XZ75TO6FT76UO with an input of 75100 BTU's so what is the square inch requirement for outside air venting. Your representative was unable to answer my question but said that the venting requirement is in the installation manual. I beg to differ on that one as the manual I got with the water heater is some sort of generic piece of paper that doesn't address the ventilation size. As a matter of fact I can not find the name Rheem anywhere on this raggedy piece of paper. This is totally useless as an installation manual of any sort. I bought this water heater at Home Depot and would like to know if they substituted this generic manual for the original manual as I cannot believe that a responsible manufacturer like Rheem would allow a generic type manual to be distributed with any of their products. All I really need is the square inch requirements for outside air venting for this product. Thank you.

I have the Rheem Marathon hot water heater with lifetime warrantee. I called the day before Christmas and was approved a new one. It is now January 22nd and not one has even been shipped out. I've been on the phone for over 3 hours (two waiting) and an hour being transferred around. No one knows what is going on. Asked to speak to a manager, and I'm still on hold (45 minutes later). Had I known it would be over a month to get a replacement from this company I would have come out of pocket a long time ago to buy a different one. Obviously I bought a smaller unit to function somewhat, but now I'm depending on this smaller unit that I can no longer use once (IF) a new one ever gets shipped out. I can't believe they are still in service. Home Depot needs to DROP their line! Oh, they just picked up and I was transferred to the wrong department.... back on hold.

Terrible company, terrible customer service. I have a 50 gal may gas water tank worked great for 6 months and now I can take a 10 min shower and no one can get in behind me. They keep telling me it's my fault I have a cross connection. Well i didn't change anything in house since I installed the new tank. It's a joke rather than say sorry let's get you a new tank we would like to keep you as a customer I keep getting well it's your fault. My tank will produce 50 gallons 1 time but will not reheat at a rate that will allow someone to take a shower after. I didn't buy a new tank so that my kid can shower then my wife has to wait 2 hours. I've got the tank turned to the hottest setting on hopes that we can make the 150 Deg water last longer while mixing with the cold, and it's completely unacceptable. The tank worked great when it was installed for around 6 months and now it's garbage, all I'm asking for its what I've paid for as a customer a product that works.

I called RHEEM Cust Service and was put on hold for 15min. After 15min they just hung up. That is so awesome when you can just hang up and not answer a very simple customer service question. I'm afraid if that is the attitude of customer service, and they are the ones who are supposed to act like they care, what do the workers who build their products feel about their work and do they care about the quality. Guess not based on the feedback on this forum.

I have been a Plumber for over 10 years now and have never had a call back on water heater installation until Rheem. 3 different customers, one, surprise surprise is yours truly. I have replaced parts on mine 4 times (granted the parts come from Rheem for free, but who wants to go through the hassle of waiting days without hot water, free parts or not) and it is still less than a year from the date of purchase. The last one started leaking internally in slightly more than a month and Rheem asked me to drain it and take it back to Home Depot.That is another irritating part of these situations, most of the problems are associated with the ignition area and in situations where you have to replace it, which in my case was 3 times, you are required to completely drain the water heater. Mine is 75 gallons x 3 times. What a waste of water. I've sworn never to use their water heater again until I see positive reviews. Nice Customer Service on their water heater support area though whenever I call with any situation, truth be told.

Rheem- Some Bullet Points on their Customer Service AND their Equipment
-aahhhhhh; 27 minute wait time
-robotic woman offer no apologies and no caring in her voice
- Our unit 15 seer series is less than 3 years old
- We have a 10 year manufacturer warranty and a 3 year warranty for cooling maintenance, heating maintenance and refrigerant R-410A through Orangtuan Home Services
- There are several class action lawsuits against Rheem for the exact parts that broke
- Our valve that releases the refrigerant has gone bad
- There was a factory mistake in the soldering which caused a leak that drained out all 17 pounds of our refrigerant.
- A $2100 repair cost even with the manufacturer's warranty.
- RHEEM will NOT reimburse us for labor or refrigerant costs
- Orangutan Home Services quoted us a price that was 33% higher than any of the other companies out there and is NOT honoring any pieces of our 3 year warranty with them
-spent 45 minutes on the phone with Rheem only to have them put me on hold again and then HANG UP ON ME
-from everything I have read this unit is a lemon, RHEEM is a crap company and Orangtuan Home Services are a bunch of rip off artists. We will likely have to replace this unit eventually, being out another $8900 dollars.
BE WARNED!!!!!

I purchased two a/c units from Rheem 1 and 1/2 years ago. The one for the upstairs has never worked and I have had to have service people out several times for it. The net result was that I had to spend over $1,000 to replace the coil because it was cracked and the freon was leaking out of it. Had a miserable summer as a result. The worst of all of this is that this weekend, the second a/c unit went bad and I had to have a service man out over the 4th of July weekend. I suspect that the condenser coil on the second unit is also bad. DO NOT BUY RHEEM. The product is horrible and you will be frustrated with a cooling unit that doesn't cool your home. I too called the service department to express my concerns. The woman was rude and simply stated that they could do nothing and that I would have to work through the contractor.
I have had another manufacturer's a/c units at my primary home for over 10 years and have NEVER had to call a service man. In my opinion, Rheem should be ashamed of themselves. $10,000+ later, I will probably rip these units out of my summer home and purchase new from someone else.

I actually have never made a comment about any product that I have ever used before today. I also have never been this angry nor this frustrated with any product, no matter what quality,before. I bought a house in 1991 which had a Rheem water heater. After 23 years, that water heater finally gave out. Feeling very satisfied with the longevity of the Rheem water heater and the lack of any issues with it, my husband and I decided to purchase another Rheem. We bought a top of the line "Platinum" water heater. All went well for approximately one year. Then we received a recall letter from Rheem stating that there were issues with the thermostat control panel and they were conducting a voluntary recall in order to replace these panels that could possibly cause a fire in our home. We followed the instructions and had our thermostat control panel replaced. This is when our troubles began. For a minimum of five times, our water heater turned itself off requiring me to remove the control panel and insulation in order to reset the panel. Last night, this procedure did not work and my husband and I were left without hot water. This morning, a Friday, I called and spoke with a pleasant young woman who confirmed that our replacement panel that was in stalled to fix the recalled panel was dysfunctional and ordered us a new one. She also said that since we were ordering this part before the 2pm cutoff, it should be shipped today and, in fact, could possibly arrive today. She told me that if it did not arrive by 6pm to call back and ask for a tracking number. The panel did not arrive and so, as suggested, I called Rheem customer service again... it was at this time I was told that the panel was not shipped out.. we would not receive a new panel before Monday. Now we are forced to live without hot water, despite spending a lot of money for a Rheem water heater, for an entire weekend. The woman I spoke with, Stephanie, reluctantly sought a supervisor for me to speak with. The supervisor, Ryan,confirmed all the information that Stephanie had already conveyed to me. The bottom line after our very frustrating conversation was that Rheem was unwilling/unable to assist me and confirmed that we would not have hot water until Monday.. at the very soonest. This did not seem to bother Ryan, Rheem's representative. When I asked for the phone number for the corporate offices for Rheem, he said he only had an address (which was on the recall letter that I had received) and refused to look the number up on the internet...I do intend to follow up with the corporate offices of Rheem...I am very sure that I will never purchase another Rheem product and I will strongly advocate to everyone I know that they also never purchase a Rheem product.

Customer service subject was rude, shirt and not helpful. I had to call back more than 4 times and the customer service person in question left me on hold for over 15 min when I asked for a supervisor. It then transfered me to the closed recording. I will never buy anything that says rheem on it again.when this water heater fails I will replace it with anything but rheem as this is a company that does not care about their customer in any wayour, shape or form.
