Hot & Cold HVAC has been keeping Valleyview Acres homes comfortable through every heat wave and temperature swing California throws our way. We’re not the biggest company in Sacramento County, but we’re the one that shows up.
Our technicians live here, work here, and understand exactly what your AC system goes through in this climate. We’ve seen every type of breakdown, every common failure, and every shortcut that leads to bigger problems down the road.
When you call us, you’re getting someone who knows the difference between a quick fix and a real solution. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in this community – one honest repair at a time.
First, we listen. You tell us what’s happening, and we ask the right questions to understand the problem before we even arrive.
When we get to your home, we diagnose the issue completely – not just the obvious symptom, but what’s actually causing it. We explain what we found in plain language, show you the problem if possible, and give you a clear price before any work begins.
Then we fix it right. We use quality parts, proper techniques, and we test everything to make sure your system is running efficiently. Before we leave, we walk you through what we did and what to watch for in the future. No mystery, no confusion, just a working AC system and the knowledge that it’s been repaired properly.

We handle everything from simple refrigerant leaks to complete compressor failures. Our service includes thorough system diagnostics, component testing, and performance optimization to ensure your AC runs efficiently.
In Valleyview Acres, where summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees, your air conditioning system works harder than in most places. We understand the specific stress this puts on components like capacitors, contactors, and evaporator coils.
Our repair service covers all major AC brands and models, with same-day service available for emergency breakdowns. We stock common parts for faster repairs and provide warranties on both parts and labor. Whether it’s a weekend emergency or routine maintenance, we’re equipped to handle your cooling needs efficiently and professionally.
We prioritize emergency AC repairs during extreme heat, typically responding within 2-4 hours for urgent calls. During heat waves, we extend our hours and bring additional technicians to handle the increased demand.
Our trucks are stocked with the most common repair parts, so we can often complete repairs on the first visit. For complex issues requiring special parts, we’ll get your system running temporarily while we order what’s needed for the permanent fix.
We understand that AC failure during California heat isn’t just uncomfortable – it can be dangerous, especially for elderly residents or families with young children. That’s why emergency repairs always get priority scheduling.
Our pricing includes the complete diagnostic process, labor for the repair, and any standard parts needed. We provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you’ll know exactly what the repair will cost.
The diagnostic fee covers our technician’s time to properly identify the problem, test system components, and determine the best repair approach. This fee is applied toward the repair cost if you choose to proceed with our service.
We don’t charge extra for evenings, weekends, or emergency calls during heat waves. Our goal is transparent pricing that lets you make informed decisions about your AC repair without worrying about hidden fees or surprise charges.
Generally, if your AC is less than 10 years old and the repair cost is under $1,000, repair makes financial sense. For older systems or major component failures, replacement might be more cost-effective long-term.
We’ll assess your system’s overall condition, energy efficiency, and remaining lifespan before recommending repair or replacement. Factors like frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, and poor cooling performance all indicate it might be time for a new system.
Our technicians will give you honest advice based on your specific situation. We’re not here to sell you a new system if a repair will give you several more years of reliable service. Conversely, we won’t recommend expensive repairs on a system that’s near the end of its useful life.
Yes, we provide a comprehensive warranty on both parts and labor for all AC repairs. Parts are covered by manufacturer warranties, typically 1-5 years depending on the component. Our labor warranty covers the installation and service work for one full year.
If the same problem occurs within the warranty period, we’ll return and fix it at no additional charge. This warranty covers the specific repair we performed, giving you confidence that the work was done correctly.
We also offer extended warranty options for customers who want additional protection. These plans can cover routine maintenance and unexpected repairs, providing budget predictability for your AC system’s ongoing care.
We service all major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and many others. Our technicians receive ongoing training on new technologies and maintain certifications for different manufacturer systems.
Whether you have a basic single-stage unit or a high-efficiency variable-speed system, we have the expertise and diagnostic equipment to properly service it. We also work on both residential and light commercial AC systems.
For older or discontinued models, we can often source compatible parts or suggest suitable alternatives. Our experience with various brands means we understand the common failure points and best repair practices for each manufacturer’s systems.
First, check your thermostat settings and circuit breakers – sometimes the solution is simpler than expected. If the system isn’t getting power, this could save you a service call.
Close blinds and curtains to reduce heat gain, and use fans to circulate air. Avoid using heat-generating appliances like ovens or dryers during the hottest part of the day. Consider staying in the coolest room of your house until we arrive.
If you have elderly family members or health conditions that make heat dangerous, don’t hesitate to seek alternative cooling locations like community centers or shopping malls. Your safety is more important than waiting for repairs, and we’ll work around your schedule to get your system fixed as quickly as possible.
