Your AC breaks down on the hottest day of the year. You’re sweating, frustrated, and worried about the cost. We get it—and we fix it.
Most AC repairs take 30 minutes to 2 hours. No dragging things out, no unnecessary parts, no inflated bills. Just your system working like it should, when you need it most.
You’ll know exactly what’s wrong, exactly what it costs, and exactly when you’ll be cool again. Because that’s what matters when Sacramento hits triple digits.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been keeping Newton Booth homes comfortable through Sacramento’s intense summers. We’re not the fly-by-night guys who disappear after the job.
We live here. We work here. We understand what Sacramento heat does to AC systems and what Newton Booth homeowners need.
Licensed, experienced, and honest about what your system needs. No overselling, no scare tactics, no taking advantage when you’re in a tough spot.
We show up when we say we will—usually same day or next day. First, we diagnose the real problem, not just the symptoms.
You get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and an upfront price before any work starts. No surprises, no “while we’re here” upselling.
Most repairs are done in under two hours. We test everything, clean up, and make sure your system is running efficiently before we leave. You’re back to comfortable that fast.
Ready to get started?
Every AC repair includes a complete system check, not just fixing the immediate problem. We catch small issues before they become expensive breakdowns.
Newton Booth’s location in Sacramento County means your AC works harder during those 100+ degree days. We use high-quality parts designed for this climate—parts that last longer and perform better.
You also get maintenance tips that actually work. Simple things you can do to keep your system running efficiently and avoid those emergency calls during the worst heat waves.
Most AC repairs in Newton Booth are completed within 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the issue. We typically arrive same day or next day—even during Sacramento’s peak summer months when everyone’s AC is working overtime.
For simple fixes like replacing a capacitor or cleaning a clogged drain, we’re usually done in under an hour. More complex repairs like compressor issues or refrigerant leaks take longer, but we’ll give you an accurate time estimate before starting work.
Emergency situations get priority scheduling. When it’s 105 degrees and your AC just died, we understand that’s not a “tomorrow” problem.
AC repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong, not what we think we can get away with charging. Simple repairs like replacing a blown fuse or cleaning coils run $150-300. More involved repairs like replacing a compressor or fixing refrigerant leaks range from $400-1200.
You’ll know the exact cost before we touch your system. No “diagnostic fees” that disappear into inflated repair prices, no surprise charges after the work is done.
We also explain why each repair is necessary and what happens if you skip it. Sometimes a $200 repair now prevents a $2000 replacement later—we’ll tell you when that’s the case.
Yes, we repair all major AC brands commonly found in Newton Booth homes—Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, and others. Each brand has its quirks, but we’ve worked on them all.
We keep common parts for most systems on our trucks, which means faster repairs. For specialized components, we can usually get parts same day or next day from our local suppliers.
Older systems get the same attention as newer ones. If your 15-year-old unit can be repaired cost-effectively, we’ll fix it. If it’s time to replace, we’ll be honest about that too.
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. For older systems, it depends on the specific problem and your system’s maintenance history.
A good rule: if you’re facing a major repair (like a compressor replacement) on a system over 12 years old, replacement often saves money long-term. Newer systems are significantly more energy efficient and reliable.
We’ll walk through the math with you—repair costs, expected lifespan, energy savings with a new system, and your cooling needs. No pressure either way, just the information you need to make the right choice for your situation.
Yes, we provide emergency AC repair throughout Newton Booth and Sacramento County. When your AC fails during a heat wave, that’s a real emergency—especially for families with young children, elderly residents, or health conditions.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling, often same-day service even on weekends and holidays. Emergency rates apply for after-hours calls, but we’re upfront about those costs when you call.
We also offer preventive maintenance that dramatically reduces emergency breakdowns. Regular tune-ups catch problems before they leave you sweating through Sacramento’s worst heat.
Regular maintenance is your best defense against AC failures during Sacramento’s intense summer heat. Change your air filter monthly during peak season, keep outdoor units clear of debris, and schedule annual tune-ups before summer hits.
Newton Booth’s location means your AC works harder than systems in cooler climates. Simple things like cleaning around your outdoor unit and checking that vents aren’t blocked make a real difference in system longevity.
Professional maintenance catches small problems—like refrigerant leaks or worn electrical connections—before they cause complete system failures. A $150 tune-up often prevents a $1500 emergency repair during the hottest week of the year.
