Heater 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.

Winter nights in Newcastle run colder than in Lincoln or Roseville, and frost is common. Homes here heat with gas or propane furnaces and heat pumps, and many keep a wood stove as a second source of heat.

On a heat pump repair, we check the defrost cycle and backup heat, which work hardest on cold foothill mornings.

Are there rebates on a new heat pump or furnace 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

We have a wood stove in Newcastle. Do we still need a furnace or heat pump?

A wood stove heats the room it is in well, but it rarely reaches bedrooms and back rooms evenly, and it does not run while you are away. A furnace or heat pump keeps the whole house at a steady temperature and protects pipes on cold nights. Many foothill homes use both. We can look at your current system and tell you what condition it is in.

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.
