Clovis
Clovis is a thriving city in Fresno County, blending small?town charm with modern amenities. Founded in 1890 as a railroad and lumber hub, it officially incorporated in 1912 and has since grown into a vibrant community of over 120,000 residents. Its heart is Old Town Clovis, known for tree?lined streets, antique storefronts, farmers markets, community concerts in the park, and classic western events like the Clovis Rodeo.
Leadership in public space is evident in landmarks like the Clovis Veterans Memorial District & Auditorium, and the Clovis Botanical Garden tucked into Dry Creek Park. Neighbors gather for weekly markets, "Movie Night in the Park," and community festivals, strengthening civic ties and embodying what locals call "A Way of Life." Clovis homeowners proudly identify as "Clovisians," united by tradition and community spirit.
Climate, Connections & Core Infrastructure
Clovis has a Mediterranean climate: summer temperatures routinely exceed 100?°F, winters bring mild rainfall and occasional morning fog, and total annual precipitation averages around 12 inches. These conditions drive high demand for efficient cooling and occasional heating, especially in older homes with outdated HVAC systems.
State Route?99 and Pollasky Avenue (State Route?233) are major arteries, while streets like Shaw Avenue, Barstow, and Nees Avenue connect residential areas to Old Town hubs. Neighborhoods such as Harlan Ranch, Quail Lakes, Greenhills, Tesoro Viejo, and central bungalows reflect a variety of residential styles and ages. With rapid expansion, Clovis faces HVAC and infrastructure needs across diverse home types and densely built commercial zones.
Landmark Features & Attractions
Clovis stands out for its strong western heritage and visitor appeal:
- Old Town Clovis: shops, galleries, antique stores, local eateries, and farmers markets animate the city’s historic core.
- Pheasant Run Golf Club and recreation venues provide local leisure.
- High school sports thrive under Clovis Unified’s teams: the Clovis North Broncos, Buchanan Bears, and Clovis East Timber wolves.
Those landmarks form the backbone of Clovis’s identity and create real opportunities for Purl's Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning’s HVAC, fabrication, and generator service expertise.
Problems Unique to Clovis and How Purl's Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning Solves Them
1. Extreme Summer Heat Overloads HVAC Systems
With summers frequently topping 100?°F, aging homes and local businesses often suffer from inefficient or undersized air conditioning systems. The result? Workplace discomfort, poor energy efficiency, and higher utility bills. Purl's Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning offers expert AC repair, maintenance, and full replacements using energy-efficient systems tailored to Clovis’s agricultural and residential heat load demands.
2. Mold & Indoor Air in Foggy, Moist Winters
Winter fog and morning dew raise humidity levels indoors, especially in homes with duct systems installed years ago. These conditions can lead to mold growth and reduced air quality. Purl's Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning specializes in duct cleaning, sealing, and indoor air quality upgrades, helping prevent moisture intrusion and protect family health.
3. Commercial Facilities and Backup Power Reliability
Clovis hosts large commercial and municipal facilities, such as fairgrounds, event centers, schools, which increase reliance on uninterrupted power. Interruptions in power can disrupt public events and business operations. Purl's Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning provides design and installation of whole-building backup generators. From Clovis Unified School District buildings to fairground venues, we deliver reliable backup power systems tailored for commercial resilience.
Community Connections & Engagement
The city’s Recreation Division hosts youth sports leagues, mobile recreation in parks, and community fairs that bring residents together. Local nonprofit groups collaborate on environmental education through the Clovis Botanical Garden and other neighborhood programs. Businesses often partner with local civic organizations, civic mixers, and Old Town events that anchor Clovis’s civic identity.
Tourism, Culture & Clovis Life
Clovis’s appeal goes beyond community events: tourists flock to Old Town Clovis for its vintage charm, award-winning farmers markets, craft beer walks, and heritage events. The Clovis Rodeo grounds bring visitors year after year. Small dining hotspots like Ten Tavern and Two Ravens Brewery draw both locals and travelers alike to the historic downtown strip.
Sheet Metal Fabrication and Local Infrastructure
Many local building projects, whether residential HVAC conversions or commercial remodeling in Old Town, require precise sheet metal work. Purl's Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning offers on-site sheet metal fabrication, delivering custom HVAC ductwork, roof flashing, roof vents, and seamless installations. We can tailor materials for commercial properties like municipal buildings and public facilities, enabling seamless integration with modern and historic architecture.
