How long Rheem AC warranty lasts is 10-year limited parts warranty and lifetime compressor warranty on some models when registered within 60 days, and 5-year parts warranty if not registered. Rheem AC units including RA14, RA16, and RA20 come with 10-year limited parts warranty that covers all functional parts like control board, fan motor, coils, and electrical components if unit is registered online at Rheem.com within 60 days of installation by homeowner or contractor. Some premium Rheem models like RA16 and RA20 offer lifetime conditional compressor warranty that covers compressor that is heart of system costing 1,500 to 2,500 dollars to replace, for as long as original homeowner owns home, or 10-year if not owner-occupied. If not registered within 60 days, warranty defaults to 5-year parts warranty and 5-year compressor warranty from installation date, which is much shorter, so registration is critical. Rheem also offers 10-year conditional unit replacement warranty on some models that replaces entire outdoor unit if compressor fails in first 10 years. Labor is not included in factory warranty, labor costs 75 to 150 dollars per hour and can be covered by extended labor warranty purchased through dealer for 300 to 700 dollars for 5 to 10 years additional. Compared to Trane that offers 12-year compressor warranty, Rheem lifetime is better on paper but conditional. Always register Rheem AC within 60 days and keep proof of installation.
