The Rheem RGPH is a discontinued upflow/horizontal gas furnace designed for closets, alcoves, utility rooms and attics. Models of the RGPH have input rates from 50,000 to 150,000 BTU/hr. and an 80.0%-81.4% AFUE. The patented heat exchanger was constructed of stainless and aluminized steel to prevent corrosion. It featured a direct drive multi-speed blower motor, an insulated blower compartment to reduce noise and energy loss, and a blower compartment door safety switch. The furnace could be installed in either an upflow or horizontal position.

Date created: 2011-04-25
900 sq ft home heated in 7 minutes!
I noticed that there are two sides to all the reviews, half say they are lousy, which many of them was an easy sensor to clean and complained about noise! The other half which I belong to, cleaned the sensor about once every 3 years on avg, and for me, I know the noise of the fan blower is good, it means hot air is flowing baby! If you buy anything but a Rheem, you will feel like you got reemed.
Other RGPH Reviews
Based on comments from HVAC forums, the most common problem with the RGPH is a failure to ignite. On several threads on doityourself.com and diyforums.net, the most common cause of the problem was a faulty igniter.

These trees are best known for their outstanding display of golden yellow flowers, which gives the genus its common name of Golden Chain. Yew wood.

Overview of Classic
Rheem’s Classic Series consists of six different gas furnace lines. Three of these lines offer 80 percent AFUE, while the remaining three operate with up to 95 percent AFUE. All models in this series feature a low 34-inch profile and are available in an upflow/horizontal and downflow configurations.
The 80-percent AFUE products offer a range of performance features. The top-tier option features two-stage heating with a PSC motor and high efficiency; the second provides several models with a single-stage ECM X-13 motor and the promise of high efficiency; and the third line in this series features a single-stage PSC motor and promotes standard efficiency. The 80-percent lines also feature an insulated blower motor compartment and direct spark ignition.
Two of the Classic Series’ 95-percent AFUE lines operate with two-stage heating; one uses a V.S. ECM and the other a PCS motor. The last line in this series uses a single-stage PCS motor for high-efficiency heating. Each of these models advertise quiet operation with an insulated blower motor compartment and induced draft motor and blower motor.

Rheem’s Features
Patented Quieter Heat Exchanger
Rheem has been an innovative company since its founding in 1925. Now, its top furnaces feature another breakthrough, a patented heat exchanger that improves air flow and reduces noise. The heat exchanger transfers heat from combustion gases to the ductwork as the blower draws air over it. Poor designs create whistling as the air passes the exchanger. This aerodynamic design reduces air drag and noise and optimizes energy efficiency. To enjoy a furnace that is 20% quieter than most, choose one of these Rheem gas furnaces:
- Rheem Prestige R98V with 98% efficiency and modulating heat
- Rheem Prestige R97V with 97% efficiency and modulating heat
- Rheem Prestige R96V with 96% efficiency and two-stage heating
These Rheem gas furnaces are among the quietest available. They are equipped with a variable-speed blower for premium indoor comfort when heating or supporting a central air conditioner. Each is Energy Star rated and might be eligible for rebates and credits from your utility company that can be searched for here.
Affordable
Price is relatively affordable compared to Trane, Lennox and Carrier.

Rheem is well ranked by several independent testing agencies and consumer reports. They are reliable and experience fewer breakages especially when installed properly. The warranties usually vary by the model bought so be sure to check this before making a purchase and official website is not always accurate. All warranties must be registered on the company website. The Value Series are perfect for those looking to save money. Being an economy model does not mean the unit cannot serve you properly. If your heating and cooling requirements are not that much, then an Economy series is a good option. However, the decision on what to buy might be come down to where you live and how much you want to spend on a gas furnace. Always remember, installation work is more important than the brand itself, find at least 2+ contractors to compare.

$3,650 | Prestige SERIES | Alberta, Canada | 2100 sqft |
I’ve owned my Rheem furnace for ever since I bought my house. Ever since I purchased it, it has never given me any problematic issues. It has been quite reliable and for the same reason, I decided to get my parents a furnace similar to mine since theirs was giving them so many problems and incurring to many repair costs. | |||
$2,200 | Classic SERIES | Seattle | 3000 sqft |
Quite a noisy machine. Ever since I installed the equipment in my house it has never given me peaceful days despite it being installed in the hallway further away from the rooms. Haven’t had any issue with it apart from the noise it generates. | |||
$2,500 | Classic SERIES | Farmington, MN | 2900 sqft |
I moved into my house two years back. The furnace that was initially pre-installed by the initial tenant was however too noisy and too faulty. I decided to purchase another furnace for my convenience. I did my research from friends opinions and their experiences with their furnaces, and also went further and researched online. I decided to settle for a Rheem classic series whose price was a little bit subsidized by 10% in comparison with other furnaces of the same properties. It is quite heavenly that you won’t notice the fluctuation in seasons to winter. There is no cold at all. It is the best furnace that one could ever get and has never given me any problems. | |||
$2,350 | RGRM | Unknown | 2400 sqft |
I have had the unit for almost 20 years now. It has had ignition problem which occurred five years from the date of purchase. The technician has to frequently come and service it. The modulating furnace too had to be changed. I tend to think that its life time functionality begins to misbehave after the warranty period is over. | |||
$2,200 | Value SERIES | New York | 2200 sqft |
Are all the negative comments and reviews against rheem a propaganda? Well, that what I would say because my Rheem value series which was installed 7 years ago has never shown me any faulty reactions. It’s efficient and low electricity consumption, unlike my expectations. I would recommend this furnace to anyone anytime. | |||
$3,200 | RGRT | Chicago | 2800 sqft |
I purchased my Rheem value series in 2002. I had been calling the technician in my house frequently every six months to have it serviced so that it could service me frequently. However, its circuit board recently stopped working and it would cost me a whopping $650 considering that its warranty cover is expired. The furnace was however too noisy which I had over looked since I didn’t think it would be a factor that would irritate me. I however think of replacing the furnace and I would always reconsider Rheem since it gave me a substantial service. |
