Rheem R962V
R962V is the four-way multi-position two-stage Endeavor Classic Plus family. It adds constant-airflow and EcoNet-related functionality to the comparison. During research its product tile used a capacity band that did not represent the high-fire heating-capacity row in the linked sheet, so a clearly labelled technical table is especially important.

Use the document’s dimensions or technical-data section. On a phone, the original PDF link may be easier to read. This is a manufacturer document, not an installation instruction from this guide.
Capacity and installation fit
The linked G11-676 revision4 table gives high-fire inputs of 42,000–112,000 BTU/h and heating capacities of 41,000–109,000 BTU/h for the listed models. These should not be confused with the lower firing input or a nominal code embedded in the name. The product-page example is 34 inches high,21 inches wide and 29.63 inches deep.
Compare the proposal, not just the badge
Ask whether the proposal includes the intended EcoNet thermostat and what the app-based commissioning process will document. Bluetooth setup and remote homeowner alerts are different capabilities. Compare the complete control and labour package with R96T or R951T, and request an itemized explanation of the upgrade price.
Evidence to request before purchase
For the R962V, keep the complete suffix and the dated specification with the quotation. Have the installer identify the selected heating output, installation orientation and control arrangement in writing. A family maximum is not necessarily the rating of the unit supplied. Ask for the completed startup record and the current Canadian warranty certificate, including labour exclusions. This profile does not assign a failure-rate score or convert a warranty promise into evidence of longer life.
Cost, reliability & alternatives
The reviewed Canadian catalog does not publish a complete installed price. Ask for a Canadian-dollar total before and after tax, with controls, venting, drainage, electrical work, disposal and labour warranty identified. Do not import US incentive or price statements into a Toronto quotation.
Direct-spark ignition, drain monitoring and diagnostic functions describe how the equipment is designed and serviced. Marketing claims such as quieter or more reliable are not comparable failure statistics. No Canadian model-by-model failure ranking is asserted here.
