Heater repair in North Sacramento

North Sacramento is a part of the City of Sacramento just north of the American River. It was its own city from 1924 until it merged with Sacramento in 1964, and many of its neighborhoods along and around Del Paso Boulevard have some of the oldest housing in the area we serve.

Many North Sacramento homes still heat with older gas furnaces or wall heaters, and some have had heat pumps added during remodels.

Before recommending a switch to a heat pump in an older home, we check whether the electrical panel can carry the load, since some original panels may need an upgrade first. Every heater repair includes a check of venting and carbon monoxide safety.

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

North Sacramento 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

How do I know if my old furnace needs repair or replacement?

Repairs make sense when the furnace is otherwise sound and the fix is a small share of a new system's cost. Replacement starts to make sense when the furnace is 20 or more years old, needs repairs every season, or has a safety issue such as a cracked heat exchanger. Our technician will show you what failed and give you the repair cost before starting, and a free replacement estimate if you want to compare.

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.
