Where is the serial number on a Rheem air conditioner?
On the side or back of the outdoor unit. Some have a second label on the indoor coil.
Keep the model, serial and any separate production code or printed date together. Not every serial number contains a publicly decodable date.
Rheem’s guide to finding the model and serial numberChecking the manufacture date
Use the format that belongs to this product family. A printed production date, a supported serial code or manufacturer confirmation can establish the age. Repeating year codes may leave more than one possible year; a model-series introduction date helps narrow the range but does not date your individual unit.
How long does a Rheem air conditioner last?
Air Conditioners typically last 12 to 17 years. Use, water quality and maintenance matter more than the brand. Keep 60 cm clear around the outdoor unit and rinse the coil from the inside out each spring.
