Focus on Energy Efficiency for More Savings
Rheem’s state-of-the-art furnace systems reduce the loss of heat and lower energy consumption by using a blanket of insulation lining inside the cabinet walls, making their models more efficient than some others on the market. Some other features that make their models more energy efficient include:
Induced-Draft Blower
Rheem Classic® Series and Classic® Plus Lines use technology that pulls hot gases through the heat exchanger at a constant and controlled rate, keeping the heated air in the system instead of letting it escape.

Many Rheem furnace systems use electric ignition gets rid of the need to have a constantly-burning pilot light, giving you up to 6% higher efficiency.
Uses of Hot Vent Gases
The Classic Series® 2-Stage 90 Plus furnace routes hot gases through a second heat exchanger, capturing wasted heat and delivering AFUE efficiency ratings up to 95%.
