Finding your Rheem's details
Look for the sticker or metal plate on the side of the tank. It shows the model, the size and the date it was made. Snap a photo of it before you ring us.
From that photo we can tell how old the system is, what type it is, and which new systems suit your home.

Rheem hot water questions
Have another question? Call 0448 984 771 – we’re happy to help.
Does Rheem make a good hot water system?
Rheem is a big name in Australian hot water, and it's one of the brands we fit. Whether it's the right pick for you depends on your house, the system you've got now and what you want to spend. Ring us and we'll talk you through it.
Do you repair Rheem systems?
Yes. We find out why your Rheem has stopped working and give you the price of the fix before we start. If the tank itself is leaking, a repair won't last, and we'll tell you that straight.
Why is my Rheem leaking from the top?
Water from the top is often one of the pipe joints or the valve up there, not the tank. A worn fitting is usually a smaller fix than a new system. Water from the bottom of the tank is the bad sign. Ring us and we'll check where it's coming from.
Why is the relief valve on my Rheem dripping?
A little water from the relief valve while the tank heats is normal. It lets out pressure as the water warms and expands. A steady stream, or a valve that runs all day, isn't. The valve may be worn, or the pressure coming in may be too high. Never block or cap it. Give us a call instead.
Why is my Rheem making popping or rumbling noises?
That noise is often sediment that's built up in the bottom of the tank. Water trapped under it boils as the tank heats and makes the popping sound. It doesn't always mean the tank is failing. On an older system, though, it can come along with rust and leaks, so tell us what you're hearing when you ring.
Why is my hot water brown or rusty?
If only the hot tap runs brown, the tank is the likely cause. Tanks have a part inside that rusts away so the tank itself doesn't. Once that part is used up, the tank starts to rust from the inside. Rusty water often comes before a leak, so it's worth getting your Rheem checked soon.
