AC repair in Fair Oaks

Fair Oaks is an unincorporated community in Sacramento County, on the bluffs above the American River between Carmichael and Orangevale. Its housing ranges from mid-century ranch homes to custom houses on large, sloped lots, often under big oak trees.

The oak canopy that keeps many Fair Oaks homes shaded also drops leaves, blossoms and debris into outdoor units. A condenser packed with debris cannot shed heat, so the system runs longer, the compressor works harder and the house still feels warm on a hot afternoon.

On a repair call we clean what is blocking the coil, test the parts that wear first and tell you whether the location of the unit is part of the problem.

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

Fair Oaks 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

Do trees around my Fair Oaks home affect my air conditioner?

They can. Shade on the house helps, but leaves and debris on the outdoor unit block airflow across the coil and make the system work harder. Keep a couple of feet of clearance around the unit and have the coil cleaned during a yearly tune-up. If the unit sits under a tree that drops a lot, we can talk through whether moving it makes sense.

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.
