You wake up comfortable every morning, even when it’s 95 degrees outside. Your energy bills stay predictable instead of spiking every month. Your family doesn’t huddle around one working room while the rest of the house feels like an oven.
That’s what happens when your AC installation is done right the first time. No callbacks, no “we’ll fix it next week,” no wondering if you picked the wrong company.
You get consistent cooling throughout your home, lower energy costs, and the peace of mind that comes from working with people who actually know what they’re doing.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been installing AC systems in White Rock for years. We understand how the valley heat affects different neighborhoods and which systems work best in California’s climate.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in proper installation, quality equipment, and service that lasts. When other companies cut corners, we do the job right.
Our team lives and works in this area. We see the same weather you do, and we install systems knowing they need to handle everything from mild springs to brutal summer heat waves.
First, we assess your home’s cooling needs and discuss your options. No pressure, just clear information about what works best for your space and budget.
Next, we handle permits and scheduling. You don’t deal with city paperwork or coordinate multiple appointments. We manage the details so installation day runs smoothly.
On installation day, our team arrives on time with everything needed to complete the job. We protect your floors, work efficiently, and clean up completely. You get a fully functioning AC system and a walkthrough of how everything works.
After installation, we test the entire system to ensure proper operation. You’re not left guessing if something’s wrong – we verify everything works before we leave.

Your AC installation includes proper sizing calculations, quality equipment, professional installation, and system testing. We handle ductwork modifications, electrical connections, and permit requirements.
For White Rock homes, we often recommend mini split systems. They’re perfect for additions, rooms that stay too warm, or homes without existing ductwork. Mini splits are energy-efficient and give you zone control over different areas.
We also install traditional central air systems and ductless AC units. Each option has advantages depending on your home’s layout, existing infrastructure, and cooling needs. We’ll explain which makes sense for your situation without pushing the most expensive option.
Most AC installations take one full day, though larger homes or complex installations may require two days. The timeline depends on your system type and home layout.
Mini split installations are typically faster since they don’t require extensive ductwork. Traditional central air systems take longer if we’re modifying existing ducts or installing new ones.
We’ll give you an accurate timeline during our initial assessment. We don’t rush installations to fit more jobs in one day – proper installation takes the time it takes.
Mini splits don’t use ducts. They have an outdoor unit connected to indoor units in each room you want to cool. You control each room separately, which saves energy and gives you flexibility.
Traditional central air uses ducts to distribute cool air throughout your home from one indoor unit. It’s often more cost-effective for whole-home cooling if you already have ductwork.
Mini splits work great for additions, rooms that stay too warm, or homes without existing ducts. Central air is usually better for consistent whole-home cooling. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your specific situation.
AC installation costs vary based on system size, type, and your home’s requirements. Mini split systems typically start around $3,000-$5,000 per zone. Central air systems range from $5,000-$12,000 depending on size and complexity.
The price includes equipment, installation, permits, and warranty coverage. We don’t quote low and add charges later – you get a complete price upfront.
Factors affecting cost include your home’s square footage, insulation quality, existing ductwork condition, and electrical requirements. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific needs.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements for your AC installation. White Rock requires permits for most HVAC installations, and we’re familiar with local codes and inspection requirements.
We pull permits, schedule inspections, and ensure your installation meets all local regulations. You don’t need to visit city offices or coordinate with inspectors.
Permit costs are included in our installation quotes. We don’t charge extra fees for handling paperwork or dealing with city requirements – it’s part of professional service.
We install equipment from established manufacturers known for reliability and efficiency. This includes brands like Carrier, Bryant, and other quality manufacturers that offer solid warranties and local service support.
We don’t push one brand over others – different manufacturers excel in different areas. Some offer better warranties, others have superior energy efficiency, and some provide the best value for your budget.
We’ll recommend equipment based on your specific needs, budget, and preferences. All the brands we install meet California energy efficiency requirements and come with manufacturer warranties.
We warranty our installation work and help coordinate any manufacturer warranty claims. If something isn’t working properly, we come back to fix it at no additional charge.
Most issues in the first year are covered by manufacturer warranties. We handle the paperwork and coordinate repairs so you’re not dealing with multiple companies or confusing warranty terms.
We also provide ongoing maintenance services to keep your system running efficiently. Regular maintenance prevents most problems and extends your equipment’s lifespan.
