How long is the drive to Piedmont from San Ramon?

From San Ramon I take 24 through the Caldecott into Oakland, and Piedmont sits right inside Oakland near Berkeley and Orinda. It is about 30 to 40 minutes. I can usually fit Piedmont into an East Bay route the same week.

My older Piedmont home heats unevenly between floors. Is that the furnace?

Often it is the ductwork or a lack of zoning, not the York furnace itself. These homes were built up over decades and the ducts rarely match the unit. I check the full air path before recommending parts so you fix the real problem.

Are York parts available for an older Piedmont system?

Yes. York is Johnson Controls and the common flame sensors, ignitors, capacitors, and boards are stocked locally, so most repairs are same week.

York in Piedmont

York heating and cooling in Piedmont.

Piedmont is small and the housing is older and substantial, Tudor, Mediterranean, and craftsman homes from the 1910s through the 30s, set on the hills surrounded by Oakland. Many of these houses have basements with an original-era heating layout that has been updated to a York forced-air system over the years, and the larger homes often need zoning to keep multiple levels comfortable. The bay keeps Piedmont mild, so this is mostly a heating-service town with some shoulder-season cooling demand.

Because the homes are old and built up over decades, the ductwork is rarely original to the furnace, and I often find a newer York unit pushing air through tired ducts. The comfort complaints in Piedmont are frequently about even distribution across floors, not a dead furnace.

ADRIUM works out of San Ramon and handles HVAC through Bay Area HVAC Service. I am EPA 608 Universal certified, the company carries CSLB #1136642, and you get a written quote with the $75 diagnostic waived on repair.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Flame sensor on basement York furnaces. Piedmont's older homes keep the York furnace in a basement, and the flame sensor fouls over the seasons. The burner lights then drops out within a few seconds. I clean or replace the rod and verify the flame signal so it stops cycling.
Blower motor wear on multi-level homes. Pushing air up through several floors in these large homes works the blower hard, and the York blower motor or its capacitor wears out. Weak airflow or no air at the registers. I test the motor and capacitor and replace the failed part to restore proper flow.
Control board lockout. A York furnace in lockout with a fault code usually points to the integrated control board. I read the code, test the board outputs to the inducer and blower, and replace it when the relays or ignition control have actually failed.
