I rent in San Pablo. Can I book the repair, or does the landlord need to?

Either of you can call us, but on a rental the owner approves the repair. We diagnose the Ruud, write up the fault and the quote, and send it to whoever signs off, so tenant and owner see the same thing.

Is carbon monoxide a concern with an older Ruud furnace in a small apartment?

Any gas furnace can make carbon monoxide if it burns poorly or vents badly. Keep a working carbon monoxide alarm near the bedrooms. On a service call we measure combustion and check the venting and the heat exchanger for cracks.

Can a failed Ruud furnace in a row house be replaced in the same spot?

Usually, yes. A replacement with the same footprint and airflow direction can go in the same closet, reusing ducts that are sound. We confirm the venting and gas line meet current code and put everything in one written quote. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification if a coil or AC is part of the job.

Ruud in San Pablo

Ruud heating and cooling in San Pablo.

San Pablo lies on a plain between the north end of the Berkeley Hills and the bay, and more of its housing dates from the 1940s through the 1960s than from any other era. Detached houses are the most common type, but apartment buildings and row houses make up a large share. In those, a Ruud furnace often sits in a hall closet with only inches to spare.

A small closet install is where combustion air, venting and return air matter most, and we check all three on a furnace call, not only the part that failed. Our technician covering San Pablo works out of Benicia. The diagnostic costs $99 and is credited toward the repair, and the quote is written before anyone starts.

Common repairs we handle.

Closet furnace starved of combustion air. A furnace boxed into a small closet with a solid door can run short of combustion air. It burns dirty, the flame sensor fouls, and the burners drop out. We run a combustion test, check the closet vents or louvers, and clean or replace the sensor.
Vent connector loose or rusted. A loose or rusted vent connector on an older Ruud installation can spill exhaust into the closet. We check every joint, the slope back to the furnace and the draft at the connector, and repair the venting before the furnace goes back into service.
Pressure switch hose cracked and hardened. The small rubber hose from the inducer to the pressure switch hardens and cracks with heat. The switch never sees the draft, and the furnace locks out. We replace the hose, test the switch, and check that the inducer pulls a steady draft.
