When your HVAC system is properly installed, you’re not sweating through 109-degree heat waves or dealing with sky-high energy bills. You get consistent temperatures in every room, lower monthly costs, and the confidence that your system won’t leave you hanging when you need it most.
Most Sacramento area homes need bigger systems than the national average because of our Climate Region 4 designation. We size your system correctly using Manual J calculations, not guesswork. This means your AC actually cools your entire home efficiently instead of running constantly and driving up your electricity bills.
The right installation also means fewer repairs down the road. When everything’s connected properly from day one, your system lasts longer and performs better throughout those long California summers and mild winters.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been handling HVAC installations throughout the Sacramento area, including Meadowview, Citrus Heights, and Roseville. We understand what it takes to keep homes comfortable when temperatures soar above 100 degrees for days at a time.
Our technicians are licensed, trained, and experienced with the specific challenges California homeowners face. High electricity costs, extreme heat, and the need for reliable cooling systems that won’t break the bank. We’ve seen what happens when systems are sized wrong or installed poorly, and we make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
We serve both residential and commercial clients throughout Meadowview and surrounding areas, always focusing on quality work that lasts.
First, we assess your home’s specific cooling and heating needs. This includes measuring square footage, checking insulation, evaluating existing ductwork, and calculating the proper system size using Manual J load calculations. No guessing, no oversizing to inflate costs.
Next, we walk you through your options. We explain the differences between SEER ratings, system types, and what makes sense for your home and budget. You’ll understand exactly what you’re getting and why it’s the right choice for Meadowview’s climate.
Installation day, our crew arrives on time with everything needed to complete the job. We handle all connections, test every component, and make sure your new system is running efficiently before we leave. You get a complete walkthrough of your new system and all warranty information.

Your HVAC installation includes the complete system – indoor and outdoor units, all necessary connections, refrigerant, and professional setup. We also handle permits, inspections, and any ductwork modifications needed for optimal airflow.
For Meadowview homes, we typically recommend 16 SEER systems as the sweet spot between upfront cost and long-term energy savings. With California’s high electricity rates, the extra efficiency pays for itself. We also install heat pumps, which can provide both heating and cooling while using less energy than traditional systems.
Every installation comes with our lifetime repair guarantee and access to same-day service. We stock parts for all major brands and have trucks equipped to handle most repairs on the first visit. Your system also qualifies for manufacturer warranties and potential California energy rebates up to $8,000 for qualifying homeowners.
HVAC installation in Meadowview typically costs $6,500 to $12,000 for a complete system, depending on your home’s size and the efficiency level you choose. A 16 SEER system for an average California home runs $6,465 to $7,793, which offers the best value for our climate.
The final cost depends on factors like your home’s square footage, existing ductwork condition, and whether you need any electrical upgrades. Larger homes or those requiring ductwork modifications will be on the higher end of that range.
We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your specific situation. No surprises, no inflated quotes. We also offer financing options to help manage the investment in your home’s comfort.
Most Meadowview homes need 3 to 5-ton systems, but the right size depends on your specific home, not just square footage. We use Manual J load calculations that factor in your home’s insulation, windows, ceiling height, and orientation.
California homes typically need larger systems than the national average because we’re in Climate Region 4 with hotter summers. A properly sized system will cool your home efficiently without running constantly or driving up energy bills.
Oversized systems are actually worse than undersized ones. They cycle on and off frequently, never properly dehumidify, and waste energy. We size your system correctly the first time so you get consistent comfort and optimal efficiency.
Most HVAC installations in Meadowview take 1-2 days, depending on the complexity of your specific job. A straightforward replacement where we’re swapping out an existing system usually takes one full day.
If we need to install new ductwork, upgrade electrical connections, or handle permits and inspections, it might extend to two days. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after assessing your home and explaining what’s involved.
We work efficiently but never rush quality. Every connection gets tested, every component gets verified, and you get a complete system walkthrough before we consider the job finished.
Yes, we provide same-day service for HVAC repairs and maintenance in Meadowview, and we also offer 24/7 emergency service when your system breaks down during extreme heat.
For installations, we typically schedule within a few days to a week, depending on the season. During peak summer months, installation schedules can be longer, but we prioritize emergency repairs to keep existing systems running.
Our trucks are stocked with common parts for all major brands, so we can often complete repairs on the first visit. When Sacramento temperatures hit 100+ degrees, we understand that air conditioning isn’t a luxury – it’s essential for your family’s safety and comfort.
For Meadowview’s climate, 16-18 SEER heat pumps offer the best combination of efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, and they’re particularly efficient in California’s moderate winter temperatures.
With electricity costs in California running $0.34-$0.44 per kWh, higher efficiency systems pay for themselves through lower monthly bills. A 16 SEER system uses about 15% less energy than a 14 SEER system, saving you hundreds annually.
California also offers rebates up to $8,000 for qualifying energy-efficient heat pump installations. We help you navigate these programs and ensure your new system qualifies for maximum savings.
Yes, we service and repair all major HVAC brands in Meadowview, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and others. Our technicians are trained on all major manufacturers and keep common parts in stock.
For installations, we recommend systems based on your specific needs and budget rather than pushing one particular brand. We’ll explain the differences between brands and help you choose the best option for your situation.
All our work comes with our lifetime repair guarantee regardless of brand. Whether you have an older system needing repair or want to upgrade to a new high-efficiency unit, we have the expertise to keep your Meadowview home comfortable.
