Do Not Buy Rheem Central Air Conditioner

by Consumers
(Miami, FL)

Installed a brand new central ac unit (outside + inside) less than 2 years. Already have a broken Fan and no Freon.

COST of REPAIR ALMOST US$ 300.00 labor. Old unit NOT a Rheem, was running smooth for 10 years and never had any problem, has to be replaced after Building HOA repair the roof and all had to meet new building codes.

I trusted the contractor and installed this GARBAGE RHEEM unit. Close to 2 yrs already broken. DO NOT BUY RHEEM. Listen to this, it's the only thing I can do now after spending money on this brand - DO NOT BUY RHEEM. DO NOT BUY RHEEM!

Problem with Rheem Fan
by: Eileen H

As far as cooling when it was working it was just fine. We have had our central ac unit for six years and the fan has been replaced three times. Now that is the fan that came on it plus three more. We just recently had to replace again.

Now once we had to pay the cost of installing the replacement fan. The last two times, we were not charged for the cost of installing. We are very frustrated, but what can we do. They certainly have not offered to replace the central air unit.


I guess we got a lemon. Our home in the mountains has a Trane with a ten year guarantee on parts and labor. We can't just replace this unit. This is not a small purchase. Will we get another Rheem; I don't think so.

very expensive and poor product
by: Anonymous

bought this central air unit on advice of my air conditioner sales people. I paid 7259.00 for this product and the second year had to replace the fan motor, on which the parts were covered but not the labor ($200.000 ouch).

NOW i am on the third year and the upstairs temperature is 89 degrees and is now blowing hot air. Sounds like a similar problem and no air conditioner man available until Monday.

My old air conditioner ran for 10 to 15 years without a problem. Very UNHAPPY with this rhaam unit.

Bad luck
by: Anonymous

Sounds like the contractor didnt do a good job and the outdoor fan is made by a third party typically GE and is found on all brands
