Rheem Introduces a New More Efficient Water Heater


Did you know that Rheem recently unveiled the new High-Efficiency Condensing Power Direct Vent (PDV) Water Heater. This ENERGY STAR® qualified water heater is the first in the industry to employ high-efficiency condensing technology in a residential tank design.

The Rheem High-Efficiency Condensing PDV unit achieves a 0.80 Energy Factor (EF), which is the highest EF available today for residential tank-type water heaters. Most typical gas-fired storage water heaters have a 0.59 EF and even ones that are Residential ENERGY STAR (Version 2.0)-qualified are only required to have a 0.67 EF (source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).

Rheem’s existing water heating platform leverages high-efficiency condensing technology in the company’s Prestige™ Series line of tankless gas water heaters, and in certain commercial products like  he Rheem SPIDERfire ® line of commercial water heaters. In the High Efficiency Condensing PDV model, the main flue is capped at the top of the unit. It forces gases down through a proprietary five-coil submerged heat exchanger, which loops around the center flue. The process keeps flue gas in contact with water for a longer period of time, meaning that more heat is transferred to the water.

Because the High-Efficiency Condensing PDV Water Heater delivers more heat to the water and less heat exhausts from the vent. The cooler flue gases permit venting through low-cost 2- or 3-inch PVC piping. The use of PVC simplifies the installation process for the contractor and saves the homeowner costs in venting, components, and installation.

This new Rheem helps you save money in two ways and to be more environmentally friendly at the same time.
