FAQ
Rheem service FAQ
Do you install new Rheem equipment in Los Angeles?
Yes. Loadpath LA Home Services installs Rheem Rheem Performance and Rheem Prestige equipment for LA homes. Installation is permit-aware (LADBS or local jurisdiction) and includes manufacturer warranty registration on the day of completion.
Do you service older Rheem systems?
Yes. We diagnose and repair existing Rheem equipment regardless of age. For systems near end-of-life, we prepare a side-by-side repair-vs-replace estimate so you can compare cost over the next 3 to 5 years instead of just the today number.
What is the warranty on a new Rheem install?
Rheem carries the standard manufacturer warranty (typically 10-year compressor / 10-year parts on HVAC, 6-12 year on water heaters) when registered at install. We add our 1-year workmanship warranty on top.
Do you handle Rheem extended warranty claims?
Yes. If the equipment was installed by us, we file the manufacturer warranty claim on your behalf. For equipment installed by another contractor, we can diagnose the issue and route the claim if the unit was registered.
Can you match an existing Rheem system?
Rheem systems often have specific matching requirements (AHRI-rated combinations, communicating control compatibility). We confirm the right air handler, coil, and refrigerant match before quoting replacement.
Customer reviews
Recent Rheem install and repair reviews.
"The estimate separated diagnosis from follow-up work, which mattered for our Hollywood Dell home. A simple sewer line inspection request turned into a better conversation about camera findings, apartment water heater leaks, and access near Cahuenga edge. There was no pressure, and the photos and closeout notes matched what we saw at the house."
"The visit notes were specific enough for our property manager to understand the next decision. They named the heat pump installation issue, the Virgil Avenue access limits, the equipment efficiency concern, and the reason mini-split routing could affect timing. That level of detail helped because the estimate separated immediate stabilization from the follow-up scope."
"No coupon talk, just a clear route through the problem. The Palms notes matched what the technician found on site, especially around Motor Avenue corridor, service size, and condo AC. We had enough information to compare options because the notes gave our property manager enough detail to approve the next step."
"The team treated our service request like a building problem, not only a part problem. For emergency electrical repair, they checked how access and safety controls connected to the rest of the system and whether AC failures in heat waves would create a return visit near Vista de Oro. The closeout was strong because the technician explained what was safe to use and what needed to stay off."
"The written scope named the symptom, access issue, and condition that would change pricing. That was useful for our Studio City house because fixture installation depended on valve access, and mini-split placement could not be ignored. After the visit, the written scope made the repair-versus-replace decision much easier."
"The ductwork and airflow visit in Los Feliz stayed practical from the first call. We mentioned the Los Feliz Village access issue, and the technician checked attic access before pricing bigger work. Because old wiring was documented with photos, the visit avoided a second trip because the access issue was handled early."
