Rheem Hot Water Systems
Probably the most common house hold name in Adelaide when it comes to Hot Water is Rheem. Ever since the days of the memorable TV advert where its catchy jingle was “Install a Rheem, Install a Rheem” house owners have grown to enjoy the reliability of having a Rheem Hot Water Service installed in their homes.
Rheem has been producing various sizes and styles of Hot Water Systems since 1939 where their operations first commenced in Sydney, NSW, Australia. Only a few months after Rheem had started producing steel tank storage hot water systems BHP purchased a 50% share of ownership in the company ensuring the ongoing success of Rheem up till now and into the foreseeable future.
All Conditions
For more than 25 years now Rheem has been at the head of the pack when it comes to Hot Water design to meet the extreme hot and freezing cold conditions we experience throughout the various states. This is particularly handy considering the extreme temperature differentials we can experience right here in Adelaide, from locations such as the Adelaide Hills where the temperatures during winter can dip well below freezing and during summer where the temperatures can peak well above 40 degrees Celsius in places such as Mawson Lakes.
In 1988 a South Australian company called Southcorp Limited (known back then as South Australian Brewing Holdings) purchased Rheem which became known as Southcorp Water Heaters. Paloma Co Ltd took an interest in Rheem back in 2001 and are now today the ultimate controlling entity of Rheem Australia Pty Ltd. Paloma are an internationally renowned company for their manufacturing and industry changing technology in both the fields of water heating and space heating.
