Wahl is a Rheem Pro Partner in Pittsburgh.
Rheem’s contractor program covers heating, cooling, and water heating, and we run all three of them.
Wahl Family Heating, Cooling & Plumbing
1 Willow Avenue, Oakdale, PA 15071
Rheem Pro Partner is Rheem’s multi-trade contractor program, which is unusual because it covers HVAC and water heating under one roof instead of treating them as separate businesses. That matches how we actually work. Rheem is our highest-volume equipment line by a wide margin, and Wahl is listed on Rheem’s own Pittsburgh contractor page. Pro Partner gives us Rheem Academy training, priority warranty processing, and a direct technical support line, which is the part you feel when something needs to be handled the same day.
Why we run this line.
Rheem is the line we know cold. When a furnace, an air conditioner, a tankless, and a water heater in the same basement are all one manufacturer, parts are on the truck, the warranty is one phone call, and there is nobody to point a finger at.David Wahl, CEO and master plumber
Most companies pick a furnace brand and a separate water heater brand and never think about it again. We went the other way on purpose. Running Rheem across heating, cooling, tankless, and tank water heating means our techs see the same control boards, the same diagnostics, and the same failure patterns every single day, across hundreds of homes a year. That is how you get fast, correct diagnosis instead of parts-swapping.
It also matters on the warranty side. Priority warranty processing sounds like a program brochure line until it is January, your furnace is down, and the part has to be here today. One manufacturer, one relationship, one call.
The equipment we actually install.
Rheem is our deepest line. These are the families we stock, install, and carry parts for.
R962V two-stage variable-speed furnaces
Our workhorse high-efficiency gas furnace, in 60, 70, 85, 100, and 115 MBh. Two-stage heat with a variable-speed blower, which is what makes a house feel even instead of blasting and shutting off.
R951V and R921T furnaces
The 95 percent and 92 percent two-stage options for homes where the full modulating setup is not the right spend. Same platform, same parts familiarity, lower entry point.
RA13NY air conditioners on R454B
The new low-GWP refrigerant generation. We are already installing R454B daily, which matters because the industry is mid-transition and not every contractor has made it cleanly.
RCFY cased evaporator coils
Matched coils, because a mismatched coil quietly costs you capacity and efficiency for the life of the system.
RTGH-SR11i Ikonic tankless
Rheem’s flagship 199,000 BTU condensing tankless with onboard controls and leak detection. This is our high-end tankless answer.
RTGH-95DVLN condensing tankless
The direct-vent condensing workhorse for whole-home hot water when a tank will not keep up.
PROG40 Professional series gas tanks
The standard 40 gallon replacement we do more of than anything else, including the power vent variants for basements without a good atmospheric flue.
ProTerra hybrid heat pump water heaters
The four-to-one efficiency option, and it dehumidifies your basement while it runs. We will tell you honestly whether the payback works for your situation.
Friedrich mini splits
Friedrich is owned by Rheem, and it is our cost-effective ductless line for garages, gyms, and shops where noise is not the priority.
Depth, not just a dealer sticker.
Rheem’s own Pittsburgh contractor page lists us
Of the contractors Rheem lists for the Pittsburgh market on rheem.com, Wahl is one of them. That listing is issued by Rheem, not written by us.
Already through the R454B refrigerant change
The industry moved off R-410A, and that transition broke a lot of contractors’ habits. Our trucks, our tooling, and our techs are already running the new R454B equipment as standard work.
HVAC and water heating on the same visit
Because we run Rheem across both trades, one technician can look at your furnace, your air conditioner, and your water heater in one visit and give you one honest plan instead of three appointments.
Rheem Academy training
Pro Partner includes ongoing technical and product training through Rheem Academy, in person and online. Our techs are in it continuously, not once when they were hired.
Why this matters in a Pittsburgh house.
Pittsburgh basements are tight, old, and full of things that were added over sixty years by different people. Venting is the recurring problem: an atmospheric flue shared with a boiler, a chimney that will not support a new high-efficiency appliance, a power vent that has to run to the only exterior wall available. Knowing one manufacturer’s full lineup means we can solve those venting and clearance problems with the right model instead of forcing whatever is on the truck.
Questions, answered.
What is a Rheem Pro Partner?
It is Rheem’s contractor program for heating, cooling, and water heating professionals. Pro Partners get ongoing training through Rheem Academy, priority warranty processing, a dedicated technical support line, and access to Rheem’s financing and quality pledge programs. Rheem recently consolidated its HVAC and plumbing programs into a single multi-trade platform, which fits a company like ours that runs both.
Is Wahl actually listed by Rheem?
Yes. Wahl appears on Rheem’s own Pittsburgh contractor listing on rheem.com. That is a listing Rheem controls, which is the difference between a badge and a verified relationship.
What Rheem water heaters do you install?
The full range. PROG40 Professional series gas tanks including power vent, electric tanks, RTGH condensing tankless including the Ikonic, indirect tanks off a boiler, and ProTerra hybrid heat pump water heaters. We size to your actual hot water demand rather than just matching whatever was there.
Is Rheem a good furnace?
It is the line we install most, and the R962V two-stage variable-speed is our workhorse. Honest answer: brand matters less than sizing, ductwork, and commissioning. A perfectly good furnace installed into undersized return ducting will underperform a cheaper furnace installed correctly, every time.
Do you install the new R454B refrigerant equipment?
Yes, as standard work. The industry transitioned off R-410A to lower global warming potential refrigerants, and the Rheem RA13NY air conditioners we install are R454B. Our tooling and our technicians are already set up for it.
Can you service a Rheem system you did not install?
Yes. We service Rheem equipment regardless of who put it in, including 24 hour emergency service.
