Default Rheem vs.Ruud


Actually the Weather Kings have a few other significant differences-
The Condensing units are built on the old square as opposed to
rectangular pan, which has made them fit in places where a Rheem would
have been out of the question, and the furnaces have all the low end
controls (HSI instead of spark, etc.)and (I think )cheap looking
cabinets. If you care about that kind of thing.

Can anyone tell me the difference, Is one more expensive than the other?
Thanks



Rheem and Ruud are both made at the same manufactorng plant and both brands are coming off the same assembley line. Both units are
the same till the get to the point where they put the sticker on it as to being a Ruud or a Rheem. At the end of the assembly line
where the stickers are put on them. Ruud Goes to the right and Rheem goes to the left. Both are idenical except for the sticker and
model number.

Now Weather King has it's own assembley line in the factory and the only difference in Rheem / Ruud and the Weatherking is the
WeatherKing will not have a scroll compressor on it. Other than this, they are the same as Rheem and Ruud.

The Prices of Rheem / Ruud should be very close but they can be a price difference from the warehouses. Now weather King should be a
hair cheaper than Rheem or Ruud because of it not having a scroll compressor in it.

So Both are the same thing inside and out except the brand sticker.
