How long is the drive from San Ramon to Richmond?

From San Ramon I run through the Caldecott or up 80, usually 35 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. We cover Berkeley and Oakland on that side, so the Inner East Bay including Richmond is a regular route for us.

My condenser is near the water and looks rough. Can it be saved?

Sometimes. Salt air pits the contacts and eats the coil fins. I check the contactor, capacitor, and coil and give you a straight read on whether parts and a cleanup fix it or whether it has corroded past the point of repair.

What is the cost of the first visit?

The diagnostic is $75 and we waive it with the repair. You get a written quote before any work and a 1-year warranty on repairs.

Ruud in Richmond

Ruud heating and cooling in Richmond.

Richmond covers older bungalows in Point Richmond and the Iron Triangle, postwar tracts in the central and Hilltop areas, and newer homes up toward El Sobrante. Many of the older homes run wall furnaces or older forced-air units, while the newer subdivisions often went in with Rheem and Ruud systems.

Down by the water Richmond stays mild and damp, and the salt air works on outdoor units, while the El Sobrante hills swing warmer and use the AC more. When I service a Ruud system here the right approach depends a lot on which part of Richmond the home sits in.

ADRIUM handles HVAC through our Bay Area HVAC Service division. I stock the common Ruud parts so a flame sensor or ignitor in Richmond usually gets fixed in one visit.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Salt-air condenser corrosion. Near the water the Ruud outdoor unit's contactor and coil corrode, so the AC chatters or loses capacity. I check the contactor, capacitor, and coil condition and tell you whether it is a parts fix or the corrosion is too far gone.
Flame sensor short-cycling. The flame rod fouls in the damp bay air and the furnace lights then drops out after a few seconds. I clean or replace the sensor and read the microamp signal to confirm a steady flame.
Wall-furnace to forced-air conversions. Many older Richmond homes run wall furnaces. When one fails I service it where I can, and where you want real heating and cooling I lay out a ductless option since these homes often have no ducts.
