Heater repair in Natomas

Natomas is a part of the City of Sacramento on the valley floor north of downtown, near Sacramento International Airport. Most of its neighborhoods were built from the 1990s through the 2000s, so a large share of homes are now running original heating and air systems that are 20 years old or more.

Homes from Natomas' building boom mostly came with gas furnaces, often installed in the attic or garage, and heat pumps are becoming more common as original systems are replaced with help from SMUD rebates.

An attic furnace takes more effort to reach and inspect, which is part of why it gets skipped. A heater repair here includes the ignition, blower and safety controls, plus the venting through the attic.

Are there rebates on a new heat pump or furnace in Natomas?

Natomas 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

Why is my upstairs so much colder in winter, or hotter in summer, than downstairs?

Heat rises, and many two-story homes run both floors from one system and one thermostat downstairs. Duct design, attic insulation and return air upstairs all play a part. Fixes range from balancing the ducts to adding a return, to zoning or a separate system for the upstairs. We find the cause before recommending anything.

What is the difference between a heat pump and a furnace?

A furnace creates heat by burning gas (or with electric heating elements) and is paired with a separate air conditioner for cooling. A heat pump does not burn fuel; it moves heat, pulling it from outdoor air into your home in winter and reversing in summer to cool. Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling in one system and work very efficiently in our mild Northern California winters.

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.
