Rundle-Spence: Red Hot General Delivery

With a busy heating season around the corner, we’re here to help!

We’re locally owned and will not sell directly to your customers. Our order accuracy, fill rates, free next day delivery and emergency 24 hour services are just some of the benefits of working with us.

Get more information below on how you can also count on our Red Hot Services.

Whether it’s a new installation or a commercial heater replacement, we’ll deliver when you need it.

We have specialized equipment to handle the largest and heaviest units. Down in a basement or in a tight mechanical room? Let us sweat the details.

If a replacement, please have the existing heater drained and disconnected by the time you request delivery. We will remove the old, limed-up heater and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly fashion. We will then use our specialized equipment to set the new heater in place so all that is needed is to reconnect the water, gas or electrical connections. This saves you precious labor resulting in more profit for you and cost savings to your customer. This special handling service allows the installation of commercial units with only one installer.

Commercial Water Heater Delivery

Red Hot Delivery is an extension of your commercial water heater service.

We’re there when you need us – saving you precious time. Our included special handling service allows you to install with only one contractor!

Call us to schedule a delivery time when you will have the old heater drained and disconnected. We will remove the old heater, unbox and place the new heater in a specified location.

The owner will be impressed with the speed and efficiency of your install and that will win you more business.

We also service what we sell!

Whether it’s in-warranty or out-of-warranty water heater service...

...we are here to make you look good in front of your customer. If we service the unit in warranty you and your customer will not see a bill. If the unit is out of warranty we will get your permission to install the part and bill you, which puts you in the driver’s seat when billing your customer.

All of our technicians are factory trained and certified with all models and diagnostic equipment which will ensure that we quickly and efficiently service your customer.
RundIe-Spence is not an Authorized Service Provider (ASP) and is not listed in any ASP directory for end consumers. We only service what we sell (warranty & out-of-warranty) and will never compete with our contractor ASP partners.
We will handle all paperwork related to the warranty & service work we do.

Do you service brands other than Rheem?

Yes. We also service Noritz and Rinnai tankless water heaters. Rheem is the only tank-type water heater we service. We may be servicing more in the future, so please check back with us!

Rundle-Spence will not service water heaters sold from other wholesale companies.
We offer service on residential, commercial and tankless units.
We stock a large inventory of parts to service these units on the very first call.

What’s the cost for warranty work?

Nothing, unless the repair involves an installation error, venting issues or gas pressure issues (which are not covered under manufacturer warranty), charges will be applied to the contractors account requesting service.

What will happen if a heater is determined to be out of warranty?

We will inform the customer of the issue and contact the contractor so they can choose to repair it themselves or have our technician perform the repair onsite.

How do you charge for out of warranty service?

If we assess that the heater is out-of-warranty we will contact you before installing any service parts. We will bill you, the contractor, so you have the ability to mark up our out-of-warranty service. Our out-of-warranty service rates are as follows:

We charge for time and materials. Both our Standard rates and After Hour rates are listed above. We charge time and a half for service during nights, weekends and holidays.
Parts for out-of-warranty work are at a set price which allows us to keep a larger inventory of parts as well as our hourly rates competitive.
Contractors will have the ability to mark these prices up.

Do you compete with plumbers that are Rheem Authorized Service Providers (ASP)?

No. RundIe-Spence is not a contractor or licensed plumber. Although we are authorized by the manufacturer to repair their products, we are not listed as an Authorized Service Provider (ASP) in any ASP directory for end consumers. We only service what we sell (warranty & out-of-warranty) and will never compete with our contractor or ASP partners.
