DOE ordered Rheem Sales Company, Inc. to pay a $687,000 civil penalty after Rheem had manufactured and distributed in commerce in the U.S. multiple units of the noncompliant Rheem model G75-75N of commercial water heaters. The Order adopted a Compromise Agreement, which reflected settlement terms between DOE and Rheem.
On May 29, 2019, DOE issued a Notice of Noncompliance Determination to Rheem finding that the Rheem model G75-75N does not comply with applicable energy conservation standards based on DOE testing. Rheem provided DOE records regarding the number of units Rheem distributed.
