Heater repair in North Highlands

North Highlands is an unincorporated community in northern Sacramento County, next to the former McClellan Air Force Base, now McClellan Park. Much of its housing went up in the 1950s and 1960s, when the base was one of the region's biggest employers, so many homes are well past their second or third heating and air system.

Heating in North Highlands ranges from gas furnaces in hall closets and garages to older wall heaters in some of the original homes, and a growing number of heat pumps installed with SMUD rebates.

Older gas equipment is where safety checks matter most, so a heater repair here includes a look at the burners, venting and carbon monoxide risk along with whatever part failed.

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

North Highlands 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

Is it worth repairing an old wall heater?

It can be, for a simple part like a thermostat or igniter. But an old wall heater only heats the room it sits in, and a cracked or poorly vented unit is a carbon monoxide risk. If yours is decades old, we will check it, tell you whether it is safe to keep running, and explain your options, including a heat pump that heats and cools the whole home.

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.
