DOE ordered Rheem Manufacturing Co. (Rheem) to pay a $439,620 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 #RAWL-120C. The Order adopted a Compromise Agreement, which reflected settlement terms between DOE and Rheem.
On April 28, 2020, DOE issued a Notice of Noncompliance Determination to Rheem finding that the Rheem commercial package air conditioner model #RAWL-120C does not comply with applicable energy conservation standards based on DOE testing. Rheem provided DOE records showing the number of units Rheem distributed.
