DOE ordered Rheem Sales Company, Inc. to pay a $317,107 civil penalty after Rheem had manufactured and distributed in commerce in the U.S. multiple units of the noncompliant Rheem split-system central air conditioning heat pump combination that includes outdoor model 13PJL30 (nameplate model 13PJL30A01) and indoor model RHAL-FR30P (nameplate model RHAL-FR30 PJN00A417). The Order adopted a Compromise Agreement, which reflected settlement terms between DOE and Rheem.
On November 1, 2017, DOE issued a Notice of Noncompliance Determination to Rheem finding that the Rheem split-system central air conditioning heat pump combination that includes outdoor model 13PJL30 (nameplate model 13PJL30A01) and indoor model RHAL-FR30P (nameplate model RHAL-FR30 PJN00A417) does not comply with applicable energy conservation standards based on DOE testing. Rheem provided DOE records showing the number of units Rheem distributed.
