AC repair in Newcastle

Newcastle is an unincorporated community in the Sierra foothills, about 8 miles northeast of Rocklin and just below Auburn on Interstate 80. It sits noticeably higher than the valley towns, with older homes near the historic town center and rural properties on the surrounding hillsides.

Many Newcastle homes are built into slopes, with split levels or a lower floor partly below grade. That often means one level runs warm while another stays cool, and a single thermostat cannot satisfy both. Older homes in the town center may also have small or aging ductwork that was never sized for central air.

We repair the system first, then look at whether airflow balancing or zoning would even out the floors.

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

Newcastle homes get their electricity from PG&E. Statewide programs such as TECH Clean California and The Switch Is On offer incentives for switching to an electric heat pump, and Peck is an authorized contractor for both.

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

Our Newcastle home sits on a slope and one level is always hotter. Can that be fixed?

Often, yes. Common fixes include adjusting dampers to send more air to the warm level, adding a return on that floor, or zoning the system so each level has its own thermostat. For a single problem area, a ductless unit can also work. We measure what each level is getting and recommend the simplest fix first.

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.
