What Makes Bakersfield Different

Bakersfield summers are long and very hot, so air conditioners and evaporative coolers run for months. A clogged condensate line, a rusted pan under an attic unit or a leaking cooler can wet a ceiling for weeks before anyone notices. Check drain lines and cooler pans before summer.

The water is hard, which wears out water heaters, supply lines and valves faster than in many places. Most rain comes in a few winter storms, and flat ground can leave streets and yards flooded after a heavy one. Tule fog settles in during winter, and a few nights each year drop below freezing, so protect exposed pipes and backflow valves.

Wildfire smoke from the Sierra Nevada and nearby hills often fills the valley in late summer and fall, and fine ash and odor get into carpets, ducts and furniture. Older homes in east and central Bakersfield and Oildale were built before 1978, so lead paint and asbestos in old ceilings and floor tile are possible. Test before any tear out.
