AC repair in Carmichael

Carmichael is an unincorporated community in Sacramento County, between Arden-Arcade and Fair Oaks along the American River. Much of it was built in the 1950s and 1960s, with single-story ranch homes on mature, tree-lined streets.

Many Carmichael homes were built before central air was common, so today's air conditioner may be a later addition sharing ducts that were first laid out for heat only. Those ducts are often small for the airflow cooling needs, which can leave a system running hard without bringing the house down to temperature.

When we repair an AC here, we fix the failed part and also check airflow at the registers, so you know whether the ducts are holding the system back.

Are there rebates on a new air conditioner or heat pump in Carmichael?

Carmichael is in SMUD territory. SMUD advertises rebates of up to $3,000 on a qualifying heat pump, plus instant rebates on smart thermostats. Peck is also an authorized contractor for TECH Clean California, the statewide heat pump program.

Program amounts change and funding can run out, so we confirm current amounts and your eligibility when we visit, then handle the paperwork. See current rebates and offers, or ask about financing.

Common questions

My Carmichael home is from the 1950s. Can it handle a modern air conditioner?

Usually, yes, but the ducts and electrical panel decide how well. Ducts designed for a heat-only system are often too small for central air, and some older panels need an upgrade for new equipment. We check both during a free in-home estimate and explain what the house needs before you commit.

Why is my air conditioner blowing warm air?

Start with the simple checks: make sure the thermostat is set to Cool and the fan is on Auto, replace the filter if it is dirty, and confirm the breaker for the outdoor unit has not tripped. If it is still blowing warm, the cause is often low refrigerant, a failed capacitor, a frozen coil, or a dirty outdoor coil. Those need a technician, so give us a call or book online and we will get it diagnosed.

How do I know when it’s time to replace my heating and air system?

It may be time to consider replacement if your system is 12 to 15 years or older, needs frequent repairs, or a single repair costs a large share of the price of a new system. Other signs include rising energy bills, rooms that will not stay comfortable, and older equipment that uses R-22 refrigerant. We are happy to come out, look at your system, and give you an honest recommendation on whether to repair or replace.
