History of Comfort

Brothers Richard and Donald Rheem founded Rheem Manufacturing Company in Emeryville, CA, in 1925. While the company has produced a number of products in its nearly 100 years of operation, Rheem is currently the only manufacturer in the world that produces water softening, heating, cooling, water heating, pool and spa heating and commercial refrigeration products, and it is the largest manufacturer of water heating products in North America.
