How Rheem Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

Rheem makes a solid unit. We’ve installed enough of them across Fort Worth to know exactly where they strain under Texas heat. Here’s what we see in the field, model by model:

• Classic Series (RA13/RA14): These are Rheem’s entry-level single-stage units, and the most common failure we see is a burned-out compressor contactor after years of cycling in 100-degree heat. The contactor is the switch that tells the compressor to fire up. In Fort Worth summers, it wears down faster than anywhere cooler. We swap in a quality OEM replacement and test the full amp draw before calling the job done.
• Prestige Series (RA16/RA17): The Prestige line uses a two-stage compressor, which is great for humidity control. But we frequently find failed crankcase heaters on these units. The heater keeps refrigerant oil from thickening during short winter runs. Fort Worth’s temperature swings mean these sit unused for months, then get hit hard. We check and replace them as part of any install prep.
• Endeavor Line (RA14AZ/RA15AZ): These newer inverter-drive units have an issue we don’t see on Rheem’s older lines: communication board failures. The board is what lets the indoor unit and outdoor unit talk to each other. A voltage spike during one of our signature spring storms can fry it. We keep boards in stock for Endeavor systems because we know Fort Worth weather.
• Rheem Furnace + AC Combo Systems (R96V + RA17): When matched systems fail, it’s often the blower motor module in the furnace that gives out first. The module is the electronic brain that controls fan speed. Without it, your AC pushes cold air into the walls instead of the rooms. We diagnose it, replace it with OEM, and verify static pressure before we leave.
• Older Rheem Units (Pre-2010): These units are out of warranty and often running low on R-22 refrigerant. Here’s the truth: we can chase leaks and top them off, but if your unit is older than 12 years and needs a refrigerant recharge (topping off the coolant your system needs to produce cold air), you’re usually better putting that money toward a new unit. We’ll show you the math, not push a sale.

One thing you won’t get from Rheem’s website: in Fort Worth, a Rheem condenser coil tends to take a beating from cottonwood and oak pollen in the spring. We see clogged coils on Rheem units across Arlington Heights and Ryan Place every May. A coil cleaning and airflow check is part of every install we do.

Our Rheem AC Installation Process

Here’s how a Rheem install goes when you call Halden Heating and Air Fort Worth:

1. 1
   Call or book online. You get a live person on the phone or a confirmed slot in our schedule. No four-hour windows. You’ll see a live arrival time and can track your tech to the door.
2. 2
   The walkthrough. We look at your existing Rheem unit, measure your ductwork, check the electrical panel, and take a look at the area around the condenser. You’ll get a written flat price before any work starts. Andre still remembers the first time a contractor handed him a surprise bill, and he refuses to do that to anyone else.
3. 3
   Parts decisions. For Rheem jobs, we use OEM (original manufacturer) parts when the unit is under warranty, because aftermarket parts can void your coverage. If a unit is out of warranty, we’ll give you the OEM price and a quality aftermarket option and explain the real difference. You decide.
4. 4
   The install. Our crew handles the removal, the new equipment placement, the line-set work, and the electrical. We work clean, lay down floor protection, and clean up before we test.
5. 5
   Startup and test. We run the system through a full cooling cycle, measure the temperature split (the difference between the air going in and the air coming out), and check pressures. You’ll get before-and-after photos of everything we did.
6. 6
   The guarantee. Every Rheem install comes with our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything’s off, we come back and make it right. No fine print games.
