You get a system that works the first time and keeps working. No callbacks for leaky refrigerant lines or units that can’t keep up with California heat. No voided warranties from amateur installation mistakes.
Your new AC system will meet California’s strict energy efficiency standards, which means lower monthly bills and potential rebate eligibility. With proper sizing and professional installation, you’re looking at consistent temperatures, quieter operation, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing it was done right.
When we install your system, you’re not just getting cooling—you’re getting reliable comfort that lasts.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been serving the Sacramento area for years, including Rocklin, Citrus Heights, Roseville, and the Raley Industrial Park area. We understand California’s unique climate challenges and energy regulations better than most.
Our technicians are trained on the latest efficiency standards and proper installation techniques for everything from traditional central air to modern mini-split systems. We’re not the company that shows up, throws in a unit, and disappears. We’re the ones who stick around with 24/7 emergency service and a lifetime repair guarantee on our work.
The industrial park environment presents specific cooling challenges, and we’ve handled them all. From warehouse spaces to office complexes, we size systems correctly and install them to last.
First, we assess your space properly. That means calculating the actual cooling load, not just guessing based on square footage. We check your electrical setup, look at your ductwork (if you have it), and determine what size system will actually keep you comfortable without wasting energy.
Next, we handle all the permits and paperwork. California has specific requirements for HVAC installations, and we know exactly what needs to be filed and when.
Installation day is straightforward. We show up on time, protect your property, and install everything according to manufacturer specifications and local codes. We test the system thoroughly before we leave, and we walk you through the controls so you know how to get the most out of your new AC.
After installation, we clean up completely and provide you with all warranty information and maintenance recommendations. No surprises, no mess left behind.

Your installation includes proper system sizing, all necessary permits, professional installation by licensed technicians, and complete system testing. We handle the refrigerant lines, electrical connections, condensate drainage, and any required ductwork modifications.
For mini-split systems, we install both the indoor and outdoor units, run refrigerant lines through the smallest possible holes, and ensure proper insulation to prevent energy loss. Each indoor unit gets its own thermostat control, giving you zone-by-zone temperature management.
In the Raley Industrial Park area, we often work with businesses that need reliable cooling for equipment rooms, offices, and warehouse spaces. We understand the importance of minimizing downtime and can often complete installations outside regular business hours when needed. Every installation comes with our lifetime repair guarantee and access to 24/7 emergency service.
AC installation costs typically range from $2,500 to $10,500 depending on the system type and complexity. For mini-split systems, expect $2,500-$3,000 for a 24,000 BTU unit or $3,000-$3,600 for a 36,000 BTU system, including installation.
The final cost depends on factors like system size, number of zones, electrical work needed, and permit requirements. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying for. California homeowners may qualify for rebates up to $8,000 depending on income levels, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
Yes, most AC installations in California require permits, especially for mini-split systems and any work involving electrical or refrigerant lines. The good news is we handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
California has strict requirements for HVAC installations to ensure safety and energy efficiency compliance. Permits typically cost $250-$400, and we include this in our project estimates. Skipping permits can void your warranty and create problems if you ever sell your property, so it’s always worth doing it right from the start.
Mini-split systems don’t require ductwork, making them ideal for spaces without existing ducts or where adding ducts isn’t practical. Installation involves mounting indoor units on walls or ceilings and connecting them to an outdoor unit with refrigerant lines.
Traditional central AC requires existing ductwork or new duct installation, which adds complexity and cost. Mini-splits offer zone control, letting you cool specific areas independently, while central systems cool the entire space uniformly. Mini-splits are typically 20-60% more energy efficient than central systems and cost about 30% more upfront but save money long-term through lower energy bills.
Most single-zone installations take 4-8 hours, while multi-zone systems can take 1-2 days depending on complexity. Commercial installations in spaces like those in Raley Industrial Park often require additional coordination to minimize business disruption.
We can work around your schedule, including evenings and weekends when necessary. The timeline depends on factors like system size, electrical work needed, permit approval time, and whether we need to coordinate with other contractors. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment and keep you updated throughout the process.
Absolutely. All systems we install meet or exceed California’s current efficiency standards, including the 15 SEER minimum for southwestern regions. We stay current on all energy code changes and only work with equipment that complies with state regulations.
California’s 2025 energy code updates emphasize heat pump technology and higher efficiency requirements. We’ll help you choose a system that not only meets current standards but positions you well for future regulations. Higher efficiency systems qualify for utility rebates and tax credits, and they’ll save you money on energy bills from day one.
You get two types of warranty protection: manufacturer warranty on the equipment (typically 5-10 years on parts) and our lifetime repair guarantee on installation workmanship. This means if something goes wrong due to how we installed your system, we fix it at no charge.
Manufacturer warranties only apply when systems are installed by licensed professionals following proper procedures. DIY or improper installation voids these warranties completely. Our lifetime guarantee covers refrigerant leaks, electrical connections, mounting issues, and any other installation-related problems. Plus, you get access to our 24/7 emergency service for urgent repairs.
