Your AC breaks down at the worst possible moment. It’s 90 degrees outside, your family’s uncomfortable, and you’re watching your energy bills climb while getting zero cooling relief.
Here’s what happens when we fix your system: you get back to enjoying consistent, efficient cooling that keeps your home comfortable all summer long. No more sweating through hot nights or worrying about your system failing again when you need it most.
We handle the technical work while you get back to your life. Most repairs are completed the same day, and you’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why it matters for your long-term comfort.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been keeping New Brighton homes comfortable for years. We’re not the biggest company in town, but we’re the one that shows up when we say we will and fixes your AC right the first time.
Our technicians live and work in this community. We understand how California’s heat affects your home and what it takes to keep your system running efficiently through our demanding summers.
You won’t get pushy sales tactics or inflated repair estimates from us. We diagnose the real problem, explain your options clearly, and let you decide what makes sense for your situation and budget.
First, we diagnose exactly what’s wrong with your system. No guesswork, no unnecessary parts – just a clear explanation of the problem and what it takes to fix it.
Next, we give you upfront pricing before any work begins. You’ll know the total cost and timeline, so there are no surprises when we’re done.
Then we complete the repair using quality parts and proven techniques. We test everything thoroughly to make sure your system is running efficiently and will keep you comfortable. Before we leave, we’ll show you how to spot potential issues and keep your system running smoothly.

Our AC repair service covers everything from simple fixes to complex system problems. We handle refrigerant leaks, compressor issues, electrical problems, and airflow restrictions that keep your home from staying cool.
New Brighton’s climate demands reliable air conditioning, especially during our hottest months when temperatures regularly hit the upper 80s and beyond. We stock parts for all major AC brands and can usually complete repairs the same day you call.
Regular maintenance prevents most emergency breakdowns and keeps your energy bills manageable. We’ll inspect your system, clean key components, and catch small problems before they turn into expensive repairs that leave you without cooling when you need it most.
Most AC repairs in New Brighton are completed the same day you call, often within a few hours. We stock common parts for all major brands and our technicians carry diagnostic equipment to identify problems quickly.
For emergency breakdowns during extreme heat, we prioritize getting your cooling restored as fast as possible. Complex repairs that require special parts might take an additional day, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
We also offer 24/7 emergency service because AC problems don’t follow a convenient schedule. When it’s 95 degrees outside and your system fails, waiting until Monday isn’t an option.
AC repair costs vary depending on the specific problem, but most common repairs range from $150 to $600. Simple fixes like replacing a capacitor or cleaning coils cost less, while compressor or refrigerant issues cost more.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing before starting any work. You’ll know the exact cost and won’t face surprise charges or hidden fees when the job is complete.
Emergency repairs outside normal business hours don’t automatically cost more – we believe you shouldn’t pay extra just because your AC breaks down on a weekend or holiday. Our goal is fair pricing that reflects the actual work needed, not when you happened to need it done.
If your AC is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new system, repair usually makes sense. Newer systems with minor problems are worth fixing and can provide years of reliable service.
For systems over 15 years old, especially those requiring expensive repairs like compressor replacement, replacement often saves money long-term. Older units are less efficient and more likely to need additional repairs soon.
We’ll assess your specific situation honestly and explain both options. Sometimes a repair buys you time to plan for replacement during off-season when prices are better. Other times, replacement makes immediate financial sense and improves your comfort and energy efficiency.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency AC repair throughout New Brighton. AC breakdowns during heat waves can be dangerous, especially for elderly residents or families with young children.
Our emergency service covers complete system failures, refrigerant leaks, electrical problems, and any issue that leaves your home without cooling. We prioritize emergency calls and typically arrive within 2-3 hours.
Emergency repairs are priced the same as regular service calls. We don’t add surcharges for after-hours, weekend, or holiday service because we believe reliable cooling is essential, not a luxury that should cost extra when you need it most.
Regular maintenance is the best prevention for AC problems. Change your air filter every 1-3 months, especially during heavy-use summer months when your system runs constantly in New Brighton’s heat.
Keep your outdoor unit clear of debris, plants, and obstructions that restrict airflow. Clean the area around your condenser regularly and ensure proper drainage to prevent water damage and efficiency loss.
Schedule annual professional maintenance before summer arrives. We’ll inspect key components, clean coils, check refrigerant levels, and identify potential problems before they cause breakdowns during peak cooling season when you need your system most.
We service all major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, and York. Our technicians receive ongoing training on new models and technologies across all manufacturers.
We stock common parts for popular brands and can source specialized components quickly when needed. Whether you have a basic single-stage unit or a high-efficiency variable-speed system, we have the expertise to diagnose and repair it properly.
Our experience with multiple brands means we can give you honest advice about repair versus replacement options. Some brands are more reliable and cost-effective to maintain than others, and we’ll share that knowledge to help you make the best decision for your situation.
