Our 1980s Southampton furnace is original. Is it worth another repair?

It depends on the heat exchanger and the part that failed. An inducer, ignitor or flame sensor is a fair repair even on an older Ruud. A cracked heat exchanger is not. We inspect it, test combustion, and write out the repair and the replacement side by side.

Can you add AC to a Ruud furnace that only heats?

Usually. The furnace needs an evaporator coil on top, a matching condenser outside and a blower strong enough for cooling airflow. We check the blower, the ducts and your electrical panel first. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification for the refrigerant side of the install.

What does a Ruud tune-up in Benicia cover?

Before winter we test the ignitor and flame sensor, check the inducer, pressure switch and blower, measure the temperature rise and look at the venting. Before summer we clean the condenser coil, test the capacitor and contactor, and check the refrigerant pressures.

Ruud in Benicia

Ruud heating and cooling in Benicia.

Benicia grew from a small town into a bedroom suburb between 1970 and 1995, so a large share of its houses date from those years. In Southampton and on the Eastside that often means a gas furnace in the garage or a hall closet, a condenser along the side yard, and ducts in the attic. If the furnace is a Ruud, it is a simple, sturdy design that is easy to get into and easy to find parts for.

Summers here are dry and warm and winters moderate, so the furnace and the AC both put in a real season. Our technician is based right here in Benicia and keeps the common Ruud parts on hand. A $99 diagnostic comes first, credited toward the repair, and you get the quote in writing before any work.

Common repairs we handle.

Furnace firing but moving little air. Sometimes a Ruud furnace lights fine but the air at the registers is weak and warm. The blower motor, its capacitor, a caked blower wheel or a crushed duct can each cause it. We test the motor, clean the wheel and check static pressure so the fix matches the cause.
Inducer whining before it fails. A draft inducer that starts to whine or rattle is losing its bearings. Left alone, it seizes and the furnace stops at pre-purge. We check the motor's draw and the pressure switch, and replace the inducer before it leaves the house without heat.
Control board with a failing relay. Some Ruud control boards are budget parts. A worn relay can leave the blower running nonstop or keep the burners from starting. We read the fault history, rule out the switches and sensors the board reports on, and replace the board only when it is the actual fault.
