How EcoNet^® Connectivity Enhances Your Water Heating Experience

As connected home technology continues to evolve, homeowners are looking for ways to simplify everyday tasks while maintaining comfort and efficiency. A water heater powered by EcoNet technology helps do just that by providing greater visibility into system performance, convenient remote access, and proactive notifications that help homeowners stay informed about their hot water system. EcoNet^® technology allows users to monitor and manage their water heater through a mobile device, helping them stay connected whether they’re at home, at work, or on vacation.

Unlike traditional water heaters that operate silently in the background, water heaters powered by EcoNet technology provide valuable insights into system operation, maintenance needs, and energy usage. The result is a more informed ownership experience designed around convenience, awareness, and peace of mind.

Stay Connected to Your Water Heater

With built-in Wi-Fi and the EcoNet^® app, homeowners can access their water heater from virtually anywhere. Through the app, users can adjust temperature settings, activate vacation mode, review energy usage information, and receive notifications about maintenance needs or potential issues.

Whether you’re preparing for guests, returning from a trip, or simply checking in on your home’s systems while away, EcoNet makes it easy to stay informed and in control. In addition, select Rheem water heaters can participate in utility demand response programs, helping homeowners potentially lower energy costs while supporting grid reliability.

Added Awareness and Protection

One of the biggest advantages of EcoNet is the ability to receive timely alerts when something isn’t operating as expected. Select models feature LeakSense^™ Detection, which can identify leaks and notify homeowners through the EcoNet app. Certain models also include LeakGuard^™ Protection, which can automatically shut off the water supply when a leak is detected to help minimize potential water damage.

In addition to leak protection, EcoNet technology can provide maintenance reminders and service notifications that help homeowners address issues before they affect hot water availability. This proactive approach can help reduce surprises and support long-term water heater performance.

Supporting a Better Service Experience with TotalView^™

The benefits of EcoNet extend beyond the homeowner experience. TotalView^™ is a connected platform that provides participating contractors and service professionals with visibility into equipment alerts, diagnostics, and operational information through a centralized dashboard. This access helps professionals identify issues more efficiently and proactively support customers.

For homeowners, that can mean faster troubleshooting, more informed service visits, and improved communication regarding equipment performance. Because contractors can access real-time information on connected units, many service concerns can be diagnosed more quickly than with traditional equipment.
