Your AC breakdown doesn’t have to ruin your day. When we’re done, your home returns to that perfect temperature where you can actually think clearly again. No more sweating through meetings on video calls or lying awake at night because it’s too hot to sleep.
You get back to living your life instead of constantly adjusting fans and opening windows that only let in more hot air. Your energy bills drop because your system runs efficiently again. Most importantly, you have peace of mind knowing your AC repair was done right the first time.
We at Hot & Cold HVAC understand what Arden Town homeowners face every summer. We’ve been serving the greater Sacramento area for years, and we know how brutal those 94-degree July days can be when your AC gives out.
Our technicians live and work in this climate too. We understand that when temperatures hit triple digits, AC repair isn’t just about comfort – it’s about safety and sanity. We’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will and fixing problems without the runaround.
We’re the HVAC contractor your neighbors call when they need honest service and real solutions.
First, we listen. You tell us what’s happening – whether your AC isn’t cooling, making strange noises, or won’t turn on at all. We ask a few key questions to understand the situation before we arrive.
Next, our technician performs a thorough diagnostic. No guessing games or quick fixes that fall apart next week. We identify the actual problem and explain what’s wrong in plain terms you can understand.
Then we give you options. Sometimes it’s a simple repair. Sometimes you need a part replaced. We tell you exactly what it costs upfront – no surprises when the work is done. You decide what makes sense for your situation and budget.

Our AC repair service covers everything from basic maintenance to complex system repairs. We handle refrigerant leaks, compressor problems, electrical issues, thermostat malfunctions, and airflow problems that leave some rooms hot while others freeze.
In Arden Town’s climate, we see specific patterns. Dust and debris from the dry summers clog filters faster. The constant high-heat operation puts extra strain on compressors and fans. Wildfire seasons mean your system works harder to filter contaminated air.
We stock common parts for most major AC brands, so many repairs get completed the same day. When we can’t fix it immediately, we’ll tell you exactly when we can return with the right part. No leaving you hanging in the heat while we “order something.”
We offer same-day AC repair service throughout Arden Town and surrounding areas. Most of our technicians carry common replacement parts, so many repairs get completed during the first visit.
For emergency situations – like when your AC fails during a heat wave – we prioritize calls and often arrive within a few hours. We understand that in Arden Town’s summer climate, a broken AC isn’t just inconvenient, it’s potentially dangerous.
If we need to order a specific part, we’ll give you an exact timeline and help you stay comfortable while you wait. We don’t leave customers guessing about when their cooling will be restored.
Arden Town’s hot, dry climate creates specific AC challenges we see repeatedly. Clogged air filters are extremely common because dust accumulates quickly in our area. This restricts airflow and makes your system work harder than it should.
Refrigerant leaks happen frequently due to the constant high-heat operation your AC endures during our long summers. Compressor problems also occur more often here because the units rarely get a break from cooling demands.
Electrical issues are another frequent problem, especially with older systems that weren’t designed for the extended high-temperature operation required in our climate. Thermostat calibration problems also develop when systems cycle constantly during heat waves.
AC repair costs vary based on the specific problem, but we always provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Simple repairs like replacing a capacitor or cleaning coils typically cost less than major component replacements.
We charge a diagnostic fee to identify the problem, which gets applied toward any repair work you approve. This ensures you only pay for actual solutions, not just someone showing up to look around.
Most of our customers find our pricing fair and competitive with other reputable HVAC contractors in the Sacramento area. More importantly, we focus on fixing problems correctly the first time, which saves money compared to repeated service calls from inadequate repairs.
Yes, we provide emergency AC repair service throughout Arden Town, especially during extreme heat events. We understand that when temperatures soar above 100 degrees, a broken AC becomes a health and safety issue.
Our emergency service covers evenings, weekends, and holidays. During heat waves, we extend our hours and prioritize the most urgent situations – like homes with elderly residents, young children, or medical conditions that require climate control.
Emergency service does include an additional fee, but we’re transparent about all costs upfront. When your family’s comfort and safety are at stake during Arden Town’s brutal summer heat, having reliable emergency repair available provides invaluable peace of mind.
This depends on several factors: your system’s age, the repair cost, and how efficiently it’s been running. Generally, if repair costs exceed 50% of a replacement unit’s price, replacement makes more financial sense.
In Arden Town’s demanding climate, AC units typically last 12-15 years with proper maintenance. If your system is over 10 years old and needs major repairs, replacement often provides better long-term value through improved efficiency and reliability.
We’ll give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes sense for your specific situation. We’re not in the business of selling unnecessary equipment – we focus on solutions that actually solve your cooling problems and provide good value for your investment.
We service all major HVAC brands commonly found in Arden Town homes, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, and many others. Our technicians receive ongoing training on different manufacturers’ systems and diagnostic procedures.
We stock parts for the most common brands and models in our service area, which allows us to complete many repairs during the initial visit. For less common brands or older systems, we can typically source parts within 24-48 hours.
Our experience with various brands means we understand each manufacturer’s common failure points and design quirks. This knowledge helps us diagnose problems faster and recommend the most effective repair approach for your specific system, regardless of who made it.
