Your AC stops working on the hottest day of the year. You’re sweating, your family’s uncomfortable, and you need someone who can actually fix the problem today.
We get it. That’s why we focus on getting your cooling system running again as quickly as possible. No long waits, no runaround, no coming back tomorrow with “the right part.”
When we leave your Del Paso Heights home, your AC works. Your house cools down. Your family’s comfortable again. That’s what matters.
We’ve been fixing air conditioners in Del Paso Heights and the greater Sacramento area for years. We know how brutal the summers get here, and we know you can’t wait around for days when your AC goes out.
Our technicians live and work in this community. We understand the unique challenges of keeping homes cool in our climate, from the older ranch-style homes built in the ’70s and ’80s to newer construction.
When you call Hot & Cold HVAC, you’re working with people who get what it’s like to live here. We show up when we say we will, we fix what’s broken, and we don’t try to sell you things you don’t need.
Here’s exactly what happens when you call us for AC repair in Del Paso Heights.
First, we listen to what’s going on with your system. Is it not cooling? Making strange noises? Not turning on at all? This helps us bring the right tools and parts.
Next, our technician arrives at your home and diagnoses the actual problem. We don’t guess. We test, measure, and figure out exactly what’s wrong before we touch anything.
Then we explain what we found, what it’ll take to fix it, and what it costs. No surprises, no pressure. If you want us to proceed, we get to work. Most repairs are done the same day.

Every AC repair call includes a complete system diagnosis, not just a quick fix. We check refrigerant levels, test electrical connections, inspect your ductwork, and make sure your thermostat is working correctly.
In Del Paso Heights, we see a lot of issues related to dust and debris from the area’s older homes and proximity to major highways. We clean condensers, replace dirty filters, and clear blocked drain lines that commonly cause problems here.
We also check for energy efficiency issues that drive up your utility bills. Sacramento summers are expensive enough without an AC system that’s working harder than it needs to. If we spot something that’s costing you money, we’ll let you know.
Our repair work comes with a guarantee. If the same problem comes back, so do we – at no extra charge.
Most of our AC repairs in Del Paso Heights are completed the same day you call. We stock common parts for all major brands, so we can usually fix your system on the first visit.
For emergency situations – like when your AC goes out during a heat wave – we prioritize same-day service. We understand that waiting days for repair isn’t an option when temperatures hit 100+ degrees.
If we need to order a special part, we’ll set you up with a temporary solution when possible and get back out as soon as the part arrives.
The most common issues we handle in Del Paso Heights are clogged air filters, dirty condensers, and refrigerant leaks. The area’s dust and debris from nearby construction and traffic can really impact AC systems.
We also see a lot of electrical issues in older homes, especially those built in the ’70s and ’80s. Outdated wiring and electrical panels sometimes can’t handle modern AC units properly.
Ductwork problems are common too. Many homes here have ducts in unconditioned spaces like attics or crawl spaces, which can develop leaks or lose insulation over time.
Yes, we repair all major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Rheem, Lennox, and York. Our technicians are trained on both newer high-efficiency units and older systems that are still running strong.
We keep parts in stock for the most common brands and models we see in the Sacramento area. This means we can usually complete repairs without having to order parts and come back later.
If you have a less common brand or a very old unit, we can still help. We’ll diagnose the problem and let you know your options for repair or replacement.
AC repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong with your system. Simple fixes like replacing a capacitor or cleaning a clogged drain might cost $150-300. More complex repairs involving compressors or major electrical work can run $500-1500.
We always give you an upfront estimate before starting any work. No surprise charges, no hidden fees. If the repair costs more than we quoted, we’ll explain why and get your approval first.
For older systems that need expensive repairs, we’ll also give you the option to put that money toward a new, more efficient unit instead.
If your AC is less than 10 years old and the repair cost is under $500, repair usually makes sense. For systems 10-15 years old, it depends on the specific problem and how well the unit has been maintained.
For units over 15 years old, especially if they’re having major component failures like compressor problems, replacement often makes more financial sense. Newer units are much more energy efficient and reliable.
We’ll give you honest advice based on your specific situation. Sometimes a $300 repair can give you several more years of service. Other times, investing in a new system saves you money in the long run.
Yes, we provide emergency AC repair throughout Del Paso Heights and the Sacramento area. We understand that AC failures don’t wait for convenient times, especially during heat waves.
Our emergency service includes evenings, weekends, and holidays. We prioritize calls from families with young children, elderly residents, or anyone with medical conditions that make heat dangerous.
Emergency service does include an additional fee, but we’re upfront about all costs. When your family’s comfort and safety are at risk, we’ll get there as quickly as possible.
