Rheem Water Heater Installation & Replacement

Right sizing and clean setup decide comfort and longevity. Our team measures peak hot-water demand, checks gas or electrical capacity, and evaluates vent routes before we recommend a Rheem model. Installers set seismic strapping where required, add full-port shutoffs, and place an expansion tank on closed systems. We level and anchor the tank, seal vent joints, and verify draft and CO safety. Electric models receive proper breaker sizing and element checks. Start-up includes temperature setting, leak checks, and fixture tests so showers and laundry run without surprise temperature swings. You receive photos and settings in a simple handoff sheet for your records.

Rheem Tankless Upgrades & Recirculation

Endless hot water works best with clean water paths and smart controls. We install Rheem tankless units with gas line sizing that supports full fire, proper intake/exhaust clearances, and a service valve kit for easy descaling. Homes with long pipe runs benefit from Rheem-compatible recirculation: dedicated return line or demand-controlled crossover for faster hot water with minimal energy use. Techs program temperature, ramp rates, and recirc timing to match family routines. A yearly service removes scale, cleans inlet screens, and confirms flame quality so the unit starts quietly and delivers stable temperature at every tap.

Rheem Heat Pump (Hybrid) Water Heaters

Hybrid models move heat from the air to the tank, which cuts energy use while easing summer humidity. We confirm room volume, temperature range, and airflow so the heat pump can breathe. Installers set a clear condensate path with a trap and safe drain, then tune operating modes, Heat Pump, Hybrid, or High Demand, based on your schedule. Filter cleaning and seasonal checks keep performance strong. Hybrid owners see cooler mechanical rooms, steady hot water, and lower energy use without sacrificing recovery when guests arrive.

Rheem Water Heater Repair & Parts Support

Strange noises, lukewarm water, or pilot issues don’t need guesswork. We test thermostats and elements on electric models, replace anodes and relief valves on tanks that show corrosion signs, and repair igniters, flame sensors, and gas valves on gas and tankless units. Techs carry OEM-grade parts for common Rheem models and verify results with temperature and recovery tests before wrap-up. Leaks at nipples or dielectric unions get a proper fix, not thread dope band-aids. You get clear cause, clean repair, and readings that prove the result.

Preventive Maintenance for Rheem Systems

Small tasks prevent big headaches. Annual tank service includes a controlled flush to remove sediment, anode inspection, T&P valve test, and thermostat calibration. Tankless service includes descaling, condensate cleaning, combustion analysis, and filter screen cleaning. We also check water pressure, thermal expansion, and thermal mixing so the system delivers safe, stable temperatures at all fixtures. A short visit once a year protects efficiency, lowers noise, and extends equipment life.

Rheem HVAC: AC, Furnaces & Heat Pumps

Comfort depends on airflow as much as equipment. Our technicians service Rheem air handlers, furnaces, heat pumps, and condensers with a focus on coil cleanliness, correct blower speed, safe gas pressure, and verified refrigerant charge after airflow checks. We clear drains, test safeties, and confirm thermostat communication so the system starts smoothly and handles humidity during sticky Indiana summers. Duct checks catch crushed flex, loose connections, and undersized returns that starve rooms of air. You get steady temperatures, quieter runs, and reliable starts on the hottest afternoons and coldest mornings.

Warranty & Documentation Support

Paperwork matters. We record models and serials, log start-up readings, and share photos of key settings and venting so you have a clean history. That file helps with manufacturer warranty support and future service decisions. Our office coordinates inspection windows and keeps reminders for filter changes, descaling, and annual checks. Clear records make ownership easier and protect your investment.
