Yes, Rheem does offer a 12-year warranty on certain water heater models, but the warranty length depends on the specific series and type you purchase. Rheem makes a range of water heaters from budget to premium, and warranty coverage is used to differentiate them. Their standard Performance and Performance Plus electric and gas tank water heaters typically come with a 6-year limited tank and parts warranty. Their upgraded Performance Platinum series and Professional Classic Plus series often come with a 9-year or 12-year limited tank and parts warranty. The Marathon series, which has a non-metallic tank, even offers a lifetime tank warranty. For tankless water heaters, Rheem usually offers a 12-year heat exchanger warranty, 5-year parts warranty, and 1-year labor warranty on high-end models. The 12-year warranty models generally cost more upfront but use higher quality anode rods, thicker insulation, and better components that justify the longer coverage. It is important to note that the warranty requires professional installation by a licensed plumber, proper maintenance including annual anode rod checks in some cases, and registration of the product within a certain time after installation. Labor is often not included after the first year. Always check the specific model's warranty card, as terms vary.
