DOE ordered Rheem Manufacturing Co. to pay a $695,000 civil penalty after Rheem had manufactured and distributed in commerce in the U.S. multiple units of the noncompliant commercial package air conditioner Rheem model # RKKL-B090D. The Order adopted a Compromise Agreement, which reflected settlement terms between DOE and Rheem.
On May 16, 2019, DOE issued a Notice of Noncompliance Determination to Rheem finding that the Rheem commercial package air conditioner model # RKKL-B090D does not comply with applicable energy conservation standards based on DOE testing. Rheem provided DOE records showing the number of units Rheem distributed.
