1 starHorrible service, no responsibility, employees chuckle and think it’s funny when lying to a customer, advisors do not know how to not interrupt people, warranty sounds great but when having to use don't expect parts to be shipped out until you have called for a third time in a week span because they did not do their job and actually shipped the parts. Horrible service, don’t buy a Rheem hot water heater as it is a waste of your hard earned money.Rheem Manufacturing Company

1 starHave a 12 year warranty and after 3 years it's sucking more amps then it's supposed to (verified by local power company). Sent the info from the power company and got nothing but headaches in return from Rheem. Plan on buying a tankless on demand unit but definitely not gonna be there brand. Very VERY disappointed in there customer service. I even tried working with them on paying for 1/2 the price of the replacement parts and still nothing but headachesRheem Manufacturing Company

****,
Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand your frustration and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced.
Like many manufacturers, we assign a unique serial number to each product to ensure proper identification and traceability. This serial number is crucial for processing any claims or reimbursements. Unfortunately, without the serial number, we are unable to proceed with your request for reimbursement.
To help us better assist you in the future, we recommend registering your new water heater on our website at www.rheem.com. By registering, we can ensure that your product information is on file, which will streamline any future claims or service requests.
If you have any further questions or need assistance with the registration process, please dont hesitate to contact our customer service team at ************.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.Rheem Digital Response Team

1 starAnother unhappy customer. Would give a 0 if it was an option. They don't stand behind their products. Purchased a 2 ton A/C and air handler and a 5 ton A/C and air handler to upgrade our ********************** ******* one year ago and the 5 ton A/C is leaking refrigerant and Rheem gives the run around as far as warranty goes. Because they only warranty parts I have paid $1,200 in service calls after paying over $20k last year to upgrade to these POS products. Why bother having a warranty at all when you won't also cover the cost of fixing the parts on your POS products. I should have stuck with Carrier brand.Rheem Manufacturing Company

1 starWe purchased a home in May. The house was inspected and we now own. The water heater went out. The plumber came and said this Richmond Water Heater is well under warranty. We called Menards in ********** and they assured us it was under warranty. After showering two days in freezing water (but was the fifth time since it kept having to be reset) my husband met the plumbers to pick it up and they were ready to install. They informed my husband they don't have to back the warranty because we are not the original purchaser. We would not have waited two days to get a new one and definitely wouldn't have purchased another Richmond if this is how they are warrantied. They should be lasting more than four year and if not how do you not back when we are the owner of the home?!Rheem Manufacturing Company

******,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration youve faced with your Richmond Water Heater. We understand how important it is to have reliable hot water, especially after purchasing a new home.
We regret the confusion regarding the warranty policy. While the warranty typically applies to the original purchaser, we understand this situation has caused significant discomfort. We will review our policies and communication to prevent such issues in the future.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we are committed to improving our service.
