How Rheem Performs in Moss Vale's Climate

GoodClimate Zone 6 | R513a refrigerant

Rheem will perform adequately in climate zone 6, though cooler winter temperatures (below 5 degrees) will reduce efficiency more noticeably than a CO2 or propane unit would. Consider sizing up to a larger tank capacity to build stored heat during warmer parts of the day and reduce reliance on the heat pump during cold mornings.

Noise Levels in a Regional Area

At 48dB, Rheem produces moderate noise. In a regional area, the extra distance between properties means noise is less of a concern than in metro locations.

Pros

  • Well-known trusted brand
  • Wide installer network
  • Integrated design (simpler install)
  • Competitive pricing
  • Australian made and owned

Cons

  • Shorter warranty than premium brands
  • Lower COP than Sanden/Reclaim
  • Noisier than split systems
  • R513a refrigerant, not the CO2 used by the premium split systems
