My last hot water heater was a 40 gallon gas Rheem heater. After 10 years or more it began to leak. Hopefully this one will last another 10 plus years. So far no complaints.

High quality and easy to install.

It’s been a month since I installed my water heater and so far it’s working great! The electronic pilot is cool feature even if power goes out. This water heater was a little taller than my old 40 gal unit so the vent had to be redone and made shorter. The hot water temperature setting should be set at Hot/Normal setting instead of “A” since “A” is too hot and will decrease the life of the water heater. The Rheem Performance Platinum is more expensive but with the 12 year warranty, it’s a little piece of mind that you don’t have to worry about water heater problems for awhile.
