After nearly two decades of faithful service, Tom’s old Rheem furnace finally gave out on a freezing January morning. It had been with him through countless west coast winters, always humming away in the background, keeping the house warm while snow piled up outside. That morning, though, the house felt uncomfortably still—and cold.
Tom called Fast HVAC company, and after confirming the old unit had reached the end of its life, they walked him through his options. He didn’t hesitate. “That old Rheem took care of us for 18 years. I’m sticking with what works,” he said with a shrug and a smile.
Within a day, a brand-new Rheem furnace was installed—quieter, more efficient, and built with the latest technology. That night, as the new unit kicked on and warmth began to fill the house again, Tom poured a cup of coffee, leaned back in his chair, and nodded with satisfaction. “Here’s to another 18 years,” he said.
When it comes to home heating, Rheem is one of the most recognized and trusted names.

It’s 15–20 Years Old. Most furnaces last 15–20 years. If yours is getting up there in age, it’s likely losing efficiency and may be nearing the end of its lifespan—even if it’s still running.
An older or failing furnace often runs longer and harder to heat your home, leading to higher utility costs.
If you’re calling a technician every season (or more), the repair bills can quickly add up. A new unit might save money in the long run.
Cold spots or inconsistent temperatures can indicate your furnace is no longer distributing heat properly.
Is your furnace turning on and off more often than it used to? This could signal mechanical issues or failing components.
Banging, popping, rattling, or squealing are signs of wear—and potential failure.
An older furnace may struggle to filter air effectively, leading to dust, dry air, or increased allergy symptoms.
A yellow or flickering pilot light may indicate carbon monoxide or combustion issues—this requires immediate attention.
If your home still feels cold even with the furnace running, or it takes longer to heat, the system may be losing efficiency.
Fast HVAC is an authorized installer and servicer of Rheem furnaces. This means your furnace is installed to the manufacturer’s specifications. Most importantly, your warranty is intact when installed by our pros. If your need Rheem furnace service, our pros will be able to pinpoint the issue, with authentic Rheem replacements parts from in-stock inventory.
Initial Consultation & Home Inspection. The technician starts with a walkthrough of your home to understand its layout, size, and insulation quality. They’ll ask questions about your current heating performance, any comfort issues (cold rooms, drafts, high bills), and your preferences for energy efficiency or smart technology
To ensure proper sizing, the technician performs a Manual J load calculation. This includes the square footage of your home, window types and insulation levels, ceiling height, number of occupants, and local climate data. This calculation helps avoid installing a furnace that’s too big (wastes energy) or too small (can’t keep up).
They inspect your existing ductwork for leaks or gaps, sizing and airflow capability, and cleanliness or obstructions.
Based on the assessment, the technician will recommend furnace models (standard vs. high-efficiency Rheem models), discuss features like variable-speed blowers or smart thermostats, and present costs, rebate options, and warranties.
For your Rheem furnace, the HVAC technician will guide you on energy efficiency ratings (AFUE), expected utility savings, return on investment, and compatibility with future HVAC upgrades
Once you've selected a system, the technician provides a detailed estimate, schedules installation, and explains what to expect before, during, and after the install.
Servicing a Rheem home furnace involves a step-by-step inspection and tune-up to ensure it’s running safely, efficiently, and reliably—especially before the heating season kicks in. Here’s how our professional HVAC technician typically handles it:
Before starting, the technician will shut off power and gas to the furnace, follow Rheem manufacturer guidelines for safety and access, and wear protective gear and follow proper ventilation protocols.
Dust and debris can affect performance. The tech will clean the burners for even flame distribution, vacuum out the blower compartment, remove and clean the blower motor and fan blades if needed, and check and clean the flame sensor and ignitor.
The technician will carefully inspect the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion (a critical safety check), burners for buildup or misalignment, wiring and connections for fraying, corrosion, or loose fittings, and the belts and moving parts for wear and proper tension.
A clogged filter can reduce efficiency and strain the system. The tech will check the air filter, and clean or replace it depending on condition
Our HVAC technician will test your thermostat to ensure it communicates properly with the furnace, the cycle timing is correct (on/off intervals), and the settings are calibrated correctly for comfort and efficiency
With everything clean and inspected, the technician will restart the system, monitor startup behavior, flame pattern, and blower operation, check gas pressure, voltage readings, and amp draws, and listen for abnormal noises or vibration
