Rheem Stellar Gas Hot Water Heater

The Rheem Stellar is a premium gas storage hot water system specifically designed for the Australian market. This high-efficiency unit is notable for being one of the first Australian-made water heaters to achieve an 89% thermal efficiency rating, making it a popular choice for residential energy savings. It features the patented Stellar SuperFlue technology, which optimizes heat transfer and durability against the corrosive effects of condensation.

The Rheem brand has a deep history in Australia, dating back to 1936 when Rheem Manufacturing Company (USA) established its first overseas venture in Melbourne. By 1939, the company began producing its first water heaters in Sydney. While the brand originated in the United States, established by brothers Richard and Donald Rheem in 1925, the Australian operations have a long-standing tradition of local manufacturing. Today, Rheem Australia is a major local employer with manufacturing facilities that continue to produce units tailored to the unique climate and performance requirements of the region.

Since 1988, Rheem has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paloma Industries, a global leader in gas appliance manufacturing based in Japan. This ownership provides Rheem with access to international research and development while allowing it to maintain its strong identity and manufacturing presence in Australia.
