Your home becomes comfortable again within hours, not days. No more sweating through broken promises from other contractors or wondering if the repair will actually last.
You get transparent pricing before we start, skilled technicians who show up when scheduled, and repairs that solve the problem completely. The constant worry about your AC failing again? Gone.
When we’re done, you have reliable cooling that works when you need it most—and the peace of mind that comes with knowing it was fixed right the first time.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been keeping Del Paso Park homes comfortable through Sacramento’s demanding climate for years. We understand what extreme heat does to air conditioning systems—and what it takes to fix them properly.
Our HVAC contractor team knows the specific challenges that come with this area’s weather patterns and older home construction. We’ve seen every type of AC problem that Sacramento summers can create.
When other contractors leave you hanging or try to sell you equipment you don’t need, we focus on getting your current system running efficiently. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in this community—one honest repair at a time.
First, we diagnose your system completely—not just the obvious problem. Many AC issues have underlying causes that other contractors miss, leading to repeat failures.
Our AC technician explains exactly what’s wrong, what it will cost to fix, and how long the repair will take. No surprises, no pressure tactics, no inflated estimates.
Then we fix it right using quality parts and proven techniques. We test the entire system to make sure everything works properly before we leave. You get a repair that lasts, not a temporary band-aid that fails next month.

Every AC repair includes thorough system diagnostics, not just fixing the immediate problem. We check refrigerant levels, electrical connections, airflow, and component wear to prevent future breakdowns.
Del Paso Park’s mix of older and newer homes presents unique challenges. Older systems often need specialized HVAC service knowledge to repair properly, while newer systems require up-to-date technical expertise. We handle both.
Sacramento’s extreme summer heat puts enormous strain on air conditioning systems. Our repairs account for these demanding conditions, using techniques and parts that hold up under the stress of triple-digit temperatures and constant operation.
We provide same-day AC repair service throughout Del Paso Park and the greater Sacramento area. During peak summer months, we understand that a broken air conditioner isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a health and safety issue.
Most repairs are completed within 2-4 hours of arrival, depending on the problem and parts availability. We stock common repair parts on our trucks to avoid delays.
For emergency situations, we prioritize calls where the indoor temperature is becoming dangerous, especially for homes with elderly residents, young children, or health conditions that make extreme heat particularly risky.
AC repair costs vary based on the specific problem, but we provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Common repairs range from $150 for simple fixes like capacitor replacement to $800 for more complex issues like compressor problems.
We charge a flat diagnostic fee that’s applied toward your repair cost if you choose to proceed. This means you know exactly what you’re paying before we start—no surprise charges or hidden fees.
Unlike some contractors who quote low then add charges, our price includes diagnostics, labor, and parts. The price we quote is the price you pay, period.
Most AC systems can be repaired effectively, even older units. Age alone doesn’t determine whether repair or replacement makes sense—it depends on the specific problem, overall system condition, and repair costs versus replacement benefits.
We’ll honestly assess your system and explain your options. If repair costs approach 50% of replacement cost and your system is over 12-15 years old, replacement might make more financial sense.
However, many older systems just need proper maintenance and targeted repairs to run efficiently for years longer. We don’t push replacement unless it truly benefits you—our goal is solving your cooling problem in the most cost-effective way.
Yes, all our AC repairs come with a comprehensive warranty covering both parts and labor. The warranty period depends on the specific repair, but typically ranges from 90 days to one year.
If the same problem occurs within the warranty period, we return at no charge to make it right. This isn’t just a promise—it’s backed by our commitment to quality workmanship.
We also provide a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied with our repair within the first week, we’ll work with you to resolve any concerns at no additional cost.
First, check your circuit breaker and thermostat settings—sometimes the solution is simpler than expected. Make sure your thermostat is set to “cool” and the temperature is set below the current room temperature.
If those basics don’t solve the problem, turn off your AC system to prevent potential damage from continued operation. Don’t keep trying to restart a system that’s not working properly.
Call us immediately for emergency service. We’ll walk you through any additional troubleshooting steps over the phone and get a technician to your home as quickly as possible. The sooner we can diagnose the problem, the sooner we can get your home comfortable again.
Regular maintenance is the most effective way to prevent summer breakdowns. This includes changing air filters monthly during heavy use periods and scheduling professional tune-ups before peak cooling season begins.
Keep your outdoor unit clear of debris, vegetation, and obstructions. Sacramento’s dust and seasonal allergens can clog coils and reduce efficiency, leading to system strain and potential failure.
Pay attention to warning signs like unusual noises, reduced cooling performance, or higher energy bills. Addressing small problems early prevents major breakdowns during the hottest days when you need your AC most.
