Congratulations! You just bought a house. It’s picture-perfect for you and your family, and moving day is set.The last piece to ensure a comfortable transition is making sure your new home’s HVAC is performing at its best.
The good news is, you don’t have to be a heating and cooling expert to get your new home’s HVAC system up and running. Use this new home HVAC checklist to keep your home at peak comfort year-round.
If you’re considering installing a ductless HVAC system in your home, you’ve come to the right place.
Ductless heat pump systems, sometimes called mini-splits, are a great solution for zoned air conditioning in spaces without ductwork, such as sunrooms, attics, garages, or other home add-ons. And like traditional heat pumps, ductless systems provide both heating and cooling to ensure peak comfort for every season.
Here are five key reasons why a ductless heat pump system may be the best choice for your home.
It’s no secret that the HVAC industry is in period of change. Beyond technological advancements and product innovations, the industry as a whole is experiencing new regulations that impact everyone—from the engineers developing new equipment to contractors, technicians, installers, and the customers they serve.
Although the changes can be hard to navigate, Rheem works hard to make sure contractors and homeowners are in the know and prepared to work through new regulations.
Your home’s smart thermostat doesn’t only manage home temperatures. It’s a tool you can use to control and monitor your home’s energy use. And with heating and cooling accounting for about half of an average home’s energy usage, according to the Department of Energy, making sure that your HVAC system is working efficiently can come with big cost savings.
Using a smart thermostat like the Rheem’s EcoNet® Smart Thermostat is an easy way to ensure that your HVAC system is working at peak performance.
Come extreme heat or snowy winter days, your home’s heating, cooling, and water heating equipment work to keep your home comfortable no matter what. In fact, a comfortable, smart and sustainable home begins with efficient heating, cooling, and water heating equipment.
Although it can be intimidating to buy any new home system, Rheem makes it seamless as a one-stop shop for innovative whole-home solutions across heating, cooling, and water heating.
So, your HVAC system isn’t working properly. Or maybe you’re just due for a seasonal maintenance check. Before meeting with a HVAC contractor here are five key pieces of information to know to make service calls seamless.
1. The age of your HVAC system
The age of your HVAC system can help identify potential problems and solutions before any contractor even looks at it. On Rheem equipment, you can easily find the date of manufacture from the unit’s serial number.
Your HVAC system serves to not only improve home comfort, but when it works efficiently, it can also help cut down on costs.
From EcoNet® to high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners, installing new Rheem equipment can bring cost savings. If you’re not in the market for a new system, the good news is that you can work with your current system to stretch your dollars and do the same.
In August, the U.S. Government passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a comprehensive energy policy bill that provides a record $370 billion for climate and energy initiatives. For homeowners, the IRA comes with incentives to install environmentally friendly equipment including HVAC products.
So, how does the IRA impact you?

When it comes to what makes a house feel like a home, there are many systems running behind the scenes to ensure your comfort, health, and safety. But how much do you know about these workhorses of the house? For example: the heat pump. Offering an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners, heat pumps use the refrigeration cycle to move heat from the outside in, or the inside out, keeping your home at the perfect temperature.
When it comes to homeownership, you want your systems and appliances to work quietly in the background of your life, and not cost too much in maintenance, upkeep, energy, or sanity. Rheem’s Sound and Space Constraint Solution uses a forward-thinking approach to solve the issues facing many homeowners—small spaces, excess noise, and outdated energy use—and provides high-quality air solutions to address every home, even in the tightest of spaces.
