How do you route to Piedmont from San Ramon and how long does it take?

From San Ramon we come over through the tunnel or down 24 and into the Oakland hills to Piedmont, usually 30 to 40 minutes. Oakland and Berkeley wrap right around Piedmont, so we batch those calls together and can often reach you the same day.

My older Piedmont home is hard to add equipment to, can a Rheem system still fit?

Yes. These homes have tight chases and limited attic, so I plan the Rheem install around the structure, often with zoning for the multiple floors. I walk the house at the estimate and tell you exactly how it goes in.

What does the service call cost?

The diagnostic is $75 and we waive it when you go ahead with the repair. You get a written quote first, and we are available 7 days a week.

Rheem in Piedmont

Rheem heating and cooling in Piedmont.

Piedmont is a small city of older, well-built estate homes, Tudors, and Mediterranean houses from the 1910s through the 1930s, sitting up in the hills surrounded by Oakland. These are substantial homes, often two and three stories, and many have had AC and modern heating added over the years on top of the original layout.

The hill location is bay-moderated but warmer than the flats, so cooling has become more common as owners remodel. We service the full Rheem line in these homes, gas furnaces, condensers, and heat pumps, and a fair number of Piedmont homes run multi-zone Rheem systems because of their size and multiple floors.

The challenge in Piedmont is fitting modern equipment into old, finished houses. Tight chases, plaster walls, and limited attic mean the Rheem system has to be planned carefully, and zoning is common to keep the upper and lower floors comfortable.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Rheem zone damper and board faults in multi-story estates. Piedmont's tall homes often run a single Rheem system across several zones, and a stuck damper or failed zone board leaves the top floor hot and the main floor cold. I test each damper and the zone control, find the part that is not responding, and balance the floors again.
Rheem furnace igniter and flame sensor on long winter cycles. The Rheem and Ruud furnaces in these older homes run long through the damp winter and the igniter fails or the flame sensor fouls, dropping the burners right after they light. I replace the igniter, clean or replace the flame sensor, and check the limit so it holds a steady flame.
Rheem condenser placement and airflow on tight hillside lots. Piedmont lots are tight and the Rheem condenser often sits in a cramped side yard where airflow is choked, driving up head pressure. I clear the space around the unit, clean the coil, and confirm the fan is moving rated air so it can reject heat properly.
