Authorized Rheem install & service

Tank, tankless, hybrid heat pump. The most-installed water heater brand in America, installed right.

Rheem is the most-installed residential water heater in the United States, and one of the easiest to service in Tampa thanks to broad parts availability and a mature warranty network. Titan installs and services every Rheem residential line, gas tank, electric tank, gas tankless, electric tankless, and the ProTerra hybrid heat pump that runs up to 5x more efficient than a standard electric tank.

  • Gas, electric, tankless, and ProTerra hybrid heat pump models
  • ProTerra hybrid heat pump: up to 5x more efficient than a standard electric tank
  • EcoNet smart-control setup, leak alerts, and scheduling
  • Authorized warranty parts, no third-party substitutes
  • Florida Building Code compliant installs (venting, pan, drain, expansion tank)

Rheem models we install most in Tampa

Performance and Performance Plus tanks for straightforward replacements. ProTerra hybrid heat pump tanks for homeowners who want a real cut in the electric bill (up to 5x the efficiency of a standard tank, the biggest swing you can get without going solar). RTGH gas tankless for whole-home endless hot water with a gas service. RTEX electric tankless for point-of-use and smaller homes. Maximus high-efficiency for cost-driven swaps. Sizing is based on fixture count, peak simultaneous demand, and the household's actual usage pattern, not on rule-of-thumb gallon counts.

Why ProTerra hybrid heat pump tanks pay off in Tampa

A standard 50-gallon electric tank costs the average Tampa household roughly $500 to $700 a year to run. A Rheem ProTerra of the same capacity typically pulls that down to $100 to $150 because it pumps heat from garage air into the tank instead of running resistance elements full-time. The Tampa climate is the ideal use case (warm garages year-round, no cold-air efficiency penalty). Most of our hybrid installs pay back the price premium inside 3 to 4 years.

Rheem-specific Tampa problems we fix

Hard-water scale on heat exchangers and elements. Sediment rumble or popping noises in tanks. Power-surge damage to control boards (a Tampa storm-season classic). Long pipe runs causing temperature delays at distant fixtures. Vent terminations that no longer meet current Hillsborough County code after a roof replacement. Failed thermal expansion tanks at the cold-water inlet. Most repairs come down to one of these.

EcoNet smart control, what you get from it

Rheem EcoNet pairs supported gas and hybrid tanks with the EcoNet app. You get remote temperature control, vacation mode, leak alerts at the tank, and basic diagnostic codes pushed to your phone. We pair the unit on install, walk you through the app, and register the warranty in your name so future service is covered without arguing about timestamps.

Service, maintenance, and warranty registration

Annual flushing keeps Tampa hard-water sediment from killing a tank early. Anode rod inspection at year 5 (or every 3 years on hybrid units) catches corrosion before it eats through the tank wall. We do both on a plan, document the visit, and if the unit ever fails inside the warranty window we coordinate directly with Rheem to handle the swap.
