Rheem Powervent Gas Water Heater Review

Rheem Water Heaters has been around for many years; every product that they sell is nothing less than good quality heating products.  The Power Vent Series is available in a 40, 50, 60 and 75-gallon tall tank models and a 40 and a 50 short gallon tank models. The Btu’s per hour range from 36,000 inputs to 75,000 inputs.

power vent 75 This Series has a 6 year limited tank warranty for parts and for the tank. But if you upgrade to the Protection Plus warranty, the 6 years extends into a 10 year limited warranty.

The Power Vent has some great features that other systems don’t offer. Standard on all systems is an electronic ignition system, which is a huge safety feature. It has a quiet blower operation and the heat traps are included with the water heater. Not many water heaters will have that.

The Power vent 75 has a brass drain valve and is available in natural gas and they all have very low NOx requirements. You don’t need any fancy outlets the power vent 75 uses a standard 110 v outlet and connection.

These safety features are terrific, there are so many water heater accidents every year because they are not equipped with the safety features the Rheem Water Heaters do.

You will also get the benefit of a self-diagnostic system. This system was created to help homeowners as well as technicians to diagnose the problems with the heater rather quickly. Just straight answers no guesswork. Having this system will save you money in the long run because if you need maintenance you won’t have to pay for hours of troubleshooting, the problem is right there.

      We have (I believe) a Rheem powervent water heater that was installed just a few years ago… For the first time ever it had to be reset over the weekend. This morning it was off again and my husband reset it… my daughter took a shower and when I got up the water heater was running. some 20 minutes later I noticed the water heater was still running and mentioned it to my husband… about 20 minutes later we smelled electrical burning and it had gone out again… and could not be reset (not that we would have wanted to reset it at that point)… I am waiting for a call from my husband to get the exact model number etc… but was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what this could be based on this little information?

      Thank you and Have a GREAT Day! Shelby :-)
