Product Description

Brothers Richard and Donald Rheem founded Rheem Manufacturing Company in Emeryville, CA, in 1925. While the company has produced a number of products in its nearly 100 years of operation, Rheem is currently the only manufacturer in the world that produces heating, cooling, water heating, pool & spa heating and commercial refrigeration products, and it is the largest manufacturer of water heating products in North America. Rheem set some ambitious sustainability goals to coincide with our 100th anniversary in 2025. And we’re sharing our first progress report so you can see how far we’ve come as of 2019.

Rheem is committed to making a difference with the products we create, for the people we serve and through the processes that drive us. From innovating energy-saving products to supporting the trade know no bounds—including our 2025 commitment: We’re designing for zero waste. From industry-leading technologies to next- generation energy efficiencies, Rheem has been a pioneer in developing some of the most innovative advancements in heating, cooling and water heating. With a long list of award-winning solutions, Rheem continues to deliver advanced comfort, savings and experiences to our customers—just as we’ve done for nearly 100 years.

Both in the US and abroad, innovative products from the Rheem family of brands lead the industries they serve. To maintain our leadership position—regardless of the brand badge affixed to them—our products must always be unique in the marketplace, relevant to our customers’ lifestyles, and authentic to our company’s values.

For nearly 100 years, Rheem has been a leader in heating, cooling and water heating innovation. And we continue to lead with our bold approach to improvements for our products and processes to dramatically cut our impact on the environment, while empowering both our customers and employees to work and live sustainably. It’s all a part of our bold vision for the future and equally bold commitment:

We are focused on innovating with intent, engineering solutions with lifetime sustainability in mind—from material selection to smart features to responsible recycling.

We strive for operational excellence, working smarter and more sustainably to consume fewer resources, generate less waste and ensure simpler, safer processes.

We hire and inspire our teams to be next-generation thinkers and responsible stewards of our industry, the greater community and the environment. “It’s important for us to be a sustainable company because we are at the intersection and the impact zone of water and
energy reduction for customers’ hot water needs.” When you see a badge from the Rheem family of brands on a piece of equipment, you know it stands for something. It represents our commitment to doing what’s right—for people, for the industry, for the planet.
