You’re not looking for a temporary patch. You need your heating system fixed right so it lasts through the rest of winter without another breakdown.
That’s what matters when temperatures drop overnight in Foothill Farms and your family’s counting on reliable heat. Not just a quick visit, but a real repair from someone who knows what they’re doing.
Our technicians carry the parts needed for most common furnace repairs. That means your heater gets fixed today, not scheduled for a callback next week. We show up with the right tools, the right training, and upfront pricing before any work starts. No surprises on the bill. No wondering if it’ll break again in two weeks.
We serve Sacramento and Placer counties with fully licensed, insured technicians who understand what Foothill Farms winters do to heating systems. We’re not a national chain sending undertrained helpers. Every tech on our team holds proper C-20 HVAC licensing and EPA certification.
We started Hot & Cold HVAC because too many families in this area were getting hit with surprise charges and shoddy work. Transparent pricing and quality repairs shouldn’t be rare. That’s why we built our company differently—upfront costs, same-day service, and work that actually lasts.
When your furnace quits on a cold night, you need someone who answers the phone and shows up ready to fix it. That’s what we do.
You call or text us at 916-519-1248. We answer—not an answering machine. You tell us what’s happening with your heater, and we schedule a time that works for you. Same-day service is available for emergencies.
Our technician shows up in a fully stocked service vehicle. They diagnose the problem, explain what’s wrong in plain language, and give you an upfront price before starting any work. No hidden fees. No surprise charges when the job’s done.
Once you approve the repair, they fix it. Most common furnace issues get resolved the same day because we carry the parts on hand. After the repair, they test your system to make sure it’s running properly. You get heat back, and you know exactly what you paid for.
Ready to get started?
Every furnace repair starts with a full diagnostic to identify the actual problem—not just the symptoms. Our technicians check your ignition system, thermostat calibration, blower motor, heat exchanger, and gas connections. You get a clear explanation of what failed and why.
Foothill Farms sits in Sacramento County where winters are mild but cold snaps hit fast. Your furnace might sit unused for months, then suddenly needs to work all night when temperatures drop. That on-and-off cycle stresses components differently than constant use. We see this pattern every season—pilot lights that won’t stay lit, blowers that won’t kick on, thermostats that read wrong.
Repairs include the parts, labor, and testing to make sure your system runs reliably. We also check your air filter and look for issues that might cause problems down the road. If your furnace is old and multiple expensive parts are failing, we’ll tell you straight whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
Most furnace repairs in Foothill Farms range from $175 to $800 depending on what’s broken. Simple fixes like a faulty thermostat or dirty flame sensor cost less. Replacing a blower motor or gas valve costs more.
Here’s how pricing works: you pay a diagnostic fee for us to identify the problem. Then you get an upfront price for the repair before we start. That price includes parts and labor. No hidden fees.
If you’re getting wildly different quotes from other companies, ask what’s included. Some companies lowball the estimate, then add charges for “unexpected” issues. We don’t do that. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Most furnace repairs take one to three hours once our technician arrives. Simple issues like replacing a flame sensor or recalibrating a thermostat take less time. More involved repairs like replacing a blower motor or control board take longer.
The diagnostic itself usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Our tech needs to test different components, check electrical connections, and sometimes run the system through a full cycle to see where it’s failing.
Because we carry common parts in our service vehicles, you usually get same-day repair. If your furnace needs an unusual part we don’t stock, we’ll order it and schedule a follow-up visit. But that’s rare. Most Foothill Farms homes have standard furnace models we service regularly.
Repair makes sense if your furnace is less than 15 years old and the fix costs less than half of a new system. Replace if it’s over 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or struggles to heat your home even after repairs.
Here’s a practical test: if the repair costs more than $1,500 and your furnace is already 12+ years old, replacement is usually smarter. You’re putting serious money into equipment that’s near the end of its lifespan anyway.
Sacramento County’s mild winters mean furnaces here don’t work as hard as they do in colder climates. That can extend their life a bit. But age still matters. Older systems are less efficient, and parts get harder to find. If your furnace is from 2010 or earlier and needs a major repair, let’s talk through your options honestly. Sometimes repair is right. Sometimes it’s not.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency heating repair for Foothill Farms residents. When your furnace quits on a freezing night, you can’t wait until Monday morning.
Call or text 916-519-1248 and you’ll reach a live person, not a recording. We’ll assess the situation and dispatch a licensed technician as quickly as possible. Emergency service costs more than scheduled repairs because of after-hours availability, but we’re upfront about pricing before we come out.
Most emergency calls happen during cold snaps when furnaces that haven’t run in months suddenly fail. We see this pattern every winter in Sacramento County. If your heater stops working when temperatures drop into the 30s overnight, don’t wait. Cold homes aren’t just uncomfortable—they can cause pipe damage and create unsafe conditions for young kids or elderly family members.
We repair all major furnace brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, Amana, Bryant, and American Standard. If you have a gas furnace, heat pump, or boiler system, we can service it.
Our technicians receive ongoing training on different manufacturers’ systems. That matters because each brand has specific quirks—different error codes, different component layouts, different common failure points.
We also stock parts for the most common furnace models in Foothill Farms. Most homes here have standard residential systems, not commercial or specialty equipment. That means we usually have what we need to complete your repair the same day. If you have an older or less common brand, we can still help. We’ll order the part and schedule a follow-up visit once it arrives.
Get your furnace serviced once a year, ideally in fall before you need it. Sacramento County’s mild climate makes it easy to skip maintenance, but that’s exactly when problems develop—during months of non-use.
A furnace tune-up includes cleaning the burners, checking the heat exchanger for cracks, testing the ignition system, calibrating the thermostat, and replacing the air filter. This catches small issues before they become expensive emergency repairs in January.
Here’s what happens without maintenance: dust and debris build up on components. Connections loosen from temperature changes. Parts wear out gradually, then fail suddenly when you finally turn the heat on. Regular maintenance costs $100-$150. Emergency repairs cost $400-$800. The math is simple. Annual service also keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid and improves energy efficiency, which lowers your utility bills.
