You’re not looking for the cheapest fix that breaks down next month. You want your home comfortable again without the runaround, the surprise fees, or the “we’ll have to order parts” delays that leave you sweating through another week.
When we finish the job, your system runs the way it should. Your energy bills stop spiking. And you stop worrying about whether it’ll make it through the next heat wave.
That’s what happens when someone actually knows what they’re doing with Sacramento’s brutal summer conditions and knows how to fix it right.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been fixing heating and cooling systems in the Tahoe Park area because we understand what Sacramento weather does to HVAC equipment. We’ve seen every type of breakdown that comes with 110-degree days, Delta breeze humidity, and the dust that clogs everything.
We’re not the guys who show up, quote you for a whole new system, and disappear. We’re the ones who figure out what’s actually wrong, fix it properly, and make sure you understand what happened so it doesn’t catch you off guard again.
Our trucks are stocked for the repairs that actually happen around here. We know which parts fail first in this climate, and we carry them.
You call us, we show up when we say we will. No four-hour windows or “we’ll call you when we’re close” games.
First, we diagnose what’s actually wrong. Not what we think might be wrong, or what we hope is wrong so we can sell you something expensive. We test the system, find the real problem, and explain it in normal terms.
Then we give you the straight price for fixing it. No “diagnostic fees” that disappear into inflated repair costs, no “while we’re here” upsells for things that aren’t broken.
We fix it, test it, and make sure it’s running properly before we leave. You get cool air, not promises.

Air conditioner repair, furnace repair, heat pump service, commercial HVAC work, and the maintenance that prevents emergency calls at the worst possible times. We handle residential and commercial systems because equipment is equipment, whether it’s cooling your house or your business.
Sacramento’s climate is particularly hard on HVAC systems. The extreme temperature swings, dust from the valley, and humidity changes from the Delta breeze create specific problems that generic repair companies miss. We’ve been dealing with these exact conditions for years.
We also handle the permit requirements for installations and major repairs, work with local utility rebate programs, and know which equipment actually holds up in this climate. Not every system is built for 100-degree days followed by 40-degree nights.
During extreme heat events, we prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within a few hours, not days. We keep our trucks stocked with the most common repair parts for Sacramento’s climate, so we can often fix the problem on the first visit.
We don’t disappear during peak season like some companies do. When it’s 110 degrees and everyone’s AC is failing, that’s exactly when you need reliable service most. We plan for these situations and staff accordingly.
Honest repair costs depend on what’s actually broken, but we give you the real price upfront. No “diagnostic fees” that get rolled into inflated repair bills, no surprise charges for “emergency” service during normal business hours.
Most common repairs in our area run between $200-800, depending on the part and complexity. Major component replacements cost more, but we’ll tell you exactly what needs to be done and why before we touch anything. If the repair costs more than the system is worth, we’ll tell you that too.
Yes, we work on all major HVAC brands and models. Whether you have a Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, or any other system, we carry the diagnostic tools and parts inventory to handle the repair properly.
We’ve seen every type of system that gets installed in Sacramento homes and businesses. Some brands hold up better in our climate than others, and we’ll give you straight information about what you’re dealing with and how to get the most life out of it.
If your system is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the replacement cost, repair usually makes sense. If it’s older than 15 years and needs major component replacement, you’re often better off replacing it.
Sacramento’s extreme temperatures are particularly hard on aging equipment. An old system that struggles through summer heat will cost you more in energy bills and repeated repairs than a properly sized new system. We’ll give you honest numbers on both options so you can make the right decision for your situation.
Sacramento systems need attention twice a year – before summer heat and before winter. The extreme temperature swings, dust, and humidity changes from Delta breeze create specific maintenance needs that generic service plans miss.
We check refrigerant levels, clean coils that get clogged with valley dust, test electrical connections that expand and contract with temperature changes, and replace filters that work overtime in our climate. This prevents the emergency breakdowns that happen when systems are pushed to their limits during heat waves.
Yes, we service commercial HVAC systems for businesses throughout the Tahoe Park and Sacramento area. Commercial systems face the same climate challenges as residential equipment, but with higher stakes when they fail.
We understand that your business can’t wait days for parts or service. Our commercial clients get priority scheduling and we stock parts for the most common commercial system failures in our area. Whether it’s a small office or larger commercial space, we have the tools and experience to get your system running properly.
