About Kerman
The name Kerman was built from the first three letters of the surnames of developers William G. Kerckhoff and Jacob Mansar, who saw a chance to buy water from the new Enterprise Canal, which drew from the Kings River.
The post office was renamed Kerman in 1906.
At about 220 feet, Kerman shares the Fresno area’s semi-arid San Joaquin Valley climate, with long, hot, dry summers, mild winters and average rainfall of around 11 inches a year.
Sprinkler Controller & Timer Repair for Kerman homes
A sprinkler timer that loses its program, shows an error, or skips zones may have a bad power supply, a worn-out terminal or battery, or a wire problem in the line to the valves. Testing each one is faster than swapping parts.
If the timer is done, we replace it and program it for your yard. If the problem is in the wire or the valve, we repair that instead.
In Kerman, the controller is what keeps your system inside its watering days and hours, so a timer that loses its program can break the schedule overnight.
