At Hot & Cold HVAC, we understand what it takes to keep Florin homes comfortable when temperatures soar above 100°F. We’ve been helping local families beat the heat with professional AC installations that are properly sized for our demanding climate.

We start with a thorough assessment of your home, measuring square footage and evaluating your current setup. This isn’t guesswork—we calculate exactly what capacity you need to stay comfortable during Florin’s hottest days.
Next, we recommend the right system for your home and budget. Whether that’s traditional central air, a high-efficiency heat pump, or ductless mini-splits for targeted cooling, we explain your options clearly.
Installation day means professional work done right the first time. We handle everything from permits to cleanup, testing your new system thoroughly before we leave. You’ll know exactly how to operate your new AC and what to expect from its performance.
Ready to get started?
Your AC installation includes professional load calculations, proper system sizing, and quality equipment built to handle Central Valley heat. We work with trusted brands that perform reliably when temperatures climb past 100°F.
For homes without existing ductwork, we specialize in ductless mini-split installations that provide targeted cooling exactly where you need it. These systems are perfect for additions, older homes, or when you want to cool specific areas without wasting energy on unused spaces.
Every installation comes with manufacturer warranties and our commitment to quality workmanship. We also offer financing options, including PACE financing that lets qualified homeowners pay through property taxes with no upfront costs.
The right AC size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, and Florin’s specific climate demands. For a 2,000-square-foot home in our area, you’ll typically need between 2.5 and 5 tons of cooling capacity—likely on the higher end given our hot summers.
We never guess at sizing. Our technicians perform detailed load calculations that factor in your home’s construction, sun exposure, and the reality that Florin temperatures regularly exceed 100°F. An oversized unit cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and leaving you with uneven temperatures and high humidity.
An undersized system runs constantly during hot weather, struggles to keep up, and wears out faster. Proper sizing ensures your AC runs efficiently, maintains consistent comfort, and lasts as long as possible.
Most residential AC installations take one to three days, depending on the complexity of your project. A straightforward replacement of an existing central air system typically takes one full day.
New installations requiring ductwork, electrical upgrades, or structural modifications take longer. Mini-split installations are often faster—single-zone systems can usually be completed in one day, while multi-zone setups may take two days.
We always provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed throughout the process. During Florin’s hot summer months, we understand that speed matters, but we never rush quality workmanship that ensures your system performs reliably for years.
Ductless mini-splits work excellently in Florin’s hot, dry climate. These systems are actually more efficient than traditional central air because they deliver cooled air directly to rooms without losing energy through ductwork.
Mini-splits are perfect for homes without existing ducts, room additions, or when you want zoned cooling. You can keep bedrooms cool at night while not wasting energy cooling unused areas during the day. This flexibility is especially valuable during our long, hot summers.
Modern mini-split systems handle extreme heat well, with many models designed to operate efficiently even when outdoor temperatures exceed 100°F. They’re also quieter than window units and more efficient than most central air systems.
Central air conditioning only cools your home, while heat pumps provide both heating and cooling. In Florin’s mild winters, a heat pump can be an energy-efficient option that handles both seasonal needs with one system.
Heat pumps work by moving heat rather than generating it, making them more efficient than traditional electric heating. However, during our extreme summer heat above 100°F, some heat pumps may struggle more than dedicated AC systems designed specifically for cooling.
The choice depends on your heating needs, energy costs, and how your home is currently set up. We evaluate your specific situation and explain which option makes the most sense for your comfort and budget.
Yes, we offer several financing options to make AC installation affordable. We work with qualified lenders to provide payment plans that fit different budgets and credit situations.
We also offer PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) financing for qualifying homeowners. This program allows you to finance your AC installation with no upfront costs and repay through your property taxes. PACE qualification is based on home equity rather than credit score.
Many of our customers also take advantage of utility rebates for high-efficiency systems. We help you understand what incentives are available and handle the paperwork to maximize your savings on energy-efficient equipment.
Regular maintenance keeps your AC running efficiently through Florin’s demanding summers. The most important thing you can do is change or clean your air filter every 1-3 months, especially during heavy-use periods.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of debris, leaves, and vegetation. The unit needs at least two feet of clearance on all sides to operate efficiently. During our dusty, windy periods, check that nothing has blown against or into the unit.
We recommend professional maintenance at least once per year, ideally in spring before the cooling season starts. Our technicians clean coils, check refrigerant levels, test electrical connections, and catch small issues before they become expensive repairs during a heatwave.
