Can a Ruud furnace fit in the closet where our old wall furnace was?

Sometimes, with an upflow or downflow model sized for the space, plus ducts and a new vent. It is a bigger job than a straight swap, so we look at the closet, the attic or crawlspace and the gas line, then give you a written quote.

Our Pinole Valley home has a Ruud furnace and a separate AC. Can both be checked in one visit?

Yes. We can check the furnace side before winter and the condenser and coil before summer, or both at once. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification for work on the cooling side.

Why does our Ruud furnace smell dusty the first time it runs each fall?

Dust settles on the heat exchanger and burners over the summer and burns off at the first start. The smell should fade within a cycle or two. If it lingers, or smells like gas or hot wiring, turn the furnace off and call us.

Ruud in Pinole

Ruud heating and cooling in Pinole.

Pinole grew into a commuter town once Interstate 80 arrived, and much of it was built between the 1940s and the 1960s. Some houses from that time started with a floor or wall furnace and were converted to forced air later, so a Ruud furnace in one may be feeding ducts added decades after the house went up. The thermostat wiring is often just as old.

Pinole Valley's larger homes, three bedrooms and up, put more duct length on the blower, while the smaller houses around Old Town and Nob Hill have tight closets and crawlspaces. Our technician for the Pinole area is based in Benicia. The diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair once you approve the written quote.

Common repairs we handle.

Old two-wire thermostat cable on a newer furnace. A smart thermostat on an older two-wire cable often has no common wire to power it. It drops out, reboots, or cycles the Ruud furnace at odd times. We check the wiring at the board and the thermostat and run a proper cable or an adapter so the furnace gets clean signals.
Blower motor slowing down with age. Older fan motors on value lines wear out before the rest of the furnace. A slow blower lets the heat exchanger run hot, and the limit starts tripping. We test the motor and capacitor, clean the wheel, and fit a replacement matched to the furnace's model.
Ignitor glowing but gas never lighting. If the ignitor glows and the burners never light, the problem may be the gas valve, its wiring, or a board that is not opening the valve. We measure the voltage at the valve and the gas pressure before replacing parts, so you pay for the right one.
