You call because your house feels like an oven. We arrive with the tools, parts, and know-how to get your AC running right again.
Most repairs happen the same day. No dragging things out, no multiple trips for basic fixes. Your system gets diagnosed properly, repaired with quality parts, and tested to make sure it’s actually working before we leave.
The difference you’ll notice immediately: consistent cooling, lower energy bills, and the confidence that your AC can handle whatever Sacramento’s climate throws at it.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been keeping Greenhaven homes comfortable through every heat wave, every summer, every unexpected breakdown. We’re not the biggest company in town, but we’re the one you can count on.
Our technicians live here too. We understand what it’s like when your AC quits during a 105-degree day, when the delta breeze shifts and your system can’t keep up, or when Sacramento’s dry air clogs your filters faster than expected.
We’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time, handling everything from quick fixes to complete system overhauls for families throughout the Greenhaven area.
You call, we listen to what’s happening with your AC, and we schedule a time that works for you. Usually same-day if it’s urgent.
Our technician arrives with a fully stocked truck and runs a complete diagnostic. We find the real problem, not just the obvious symptoms. Before any work starts, you get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix it right.
Once you approve the work, we handle the repair efficiently and test everything thoroughly. Your AC gets back to keeping you cool, and you get back to your day. Simple as that.

Our AC repair service covers the full spectrum of cooling problems Greenhaven homeowners face. Refrigerant leaks, compressor failures, electrical issues, thermostat problems, ductwork repairs – we handle it all.
Sacramento’s intense summer heat and dry conditions create specific challenges for AC systems. Coils get dirty faster, components work harder, and small problems become big ones quickly. We know exactly what to look for and how to fix it properly the first time.
Beyond emergency repairs, we provide the maintenance and tune-ups that keep your system running efficiently all season long. Regular service means fewer breakdowns, lower energy bills, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your AC is ready for whatever summer brings.
Most AC repairs in Greenhaven get completed the same day you call, especially during heat emergencies. We keep our trucks fully stocked with common parts and components that fail during Sacramento’s intense summer heat.
We understand that a broken AC during a 100-degree day isn’t just uncomfortable – it can be dangerous. We prioritize emergency calls and work efficiently to restore your cooling as quickly as possible.
If your repair requires a special-order part, we’ll explain your options upfront. Often we can provide a temporary solution to keep you cool while we get the right component.
Sacramento’s hot, dry climate creates specific challenges for air conditioning systems. The most frequent issues we see include dirty condenser coils from dust accumulation, refrigerant leaks from systems working overtime, and thermostat calibration problems from extreme temperature swings.
The delta breeze that provides natural cooling can also cause sudden temperature changes that stress AC components. Compressors work harder during extended heat waves, and electrical connections can fail from the constant cycling on and off.
We also see more filter clogs than in other climates because Sacramento’s dry air carries more dust and debris. Regular maintenance helps prevent many of these issues before they become expensive repairs.
AC repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong with your system. Simple fixes like thermostat adjustments or filter replacements run much less than major component repairs like compressor replacement or refrigerant leak repairs.
We provide upfront, honest pricing before any work begins. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after the fact. You’ll know exactly what the repair costs and why it’s necessary before we start.
Most Greenhaven homeowners find that investing in proper repairs and regular maintenance costs far less than dealing with repeated breakdowns or premature system replacement. We’ll always recommend the most cost-effective solution for your specific situation.
The decision depends on your system’s age, condition, and repair history. Generally, if your AC is over 10-12 years old and needs major repairs costing more than half the price of a new system, replacement makes more financial sense.
Sacramento’s demanding climate is hard on older AC units. Systems that were adequate years ago may struggle with today’s extended heat waves and higher efficiency expectations. Newer units also offer significant energy savings that can offset the investment cost.
We’ll assess your current system honestly and explain your options clearly. Sometimes a well-maintained older unit just needs a specific repair to keep running efficiently. Other times, replacement is the smarter long-term choice.
Yes, we provide emergency AC repair service throughout Greenhaven and the greater Sacramento area. We understand that AC breakdowns don’t follow business hours, especially during heat waves when systems are under maximum stress.
Our emergency service covers situations where your AC has completely stopped working, is blowing hot air, or has other urgent problems that affect your family’s comfort and safety. We respond quickly and come prepared to handle most emergency repairs on the spot.
Emergency service does include additional charges for after-hours and weekend calls, but we’ll explain all costs upfront. When Sacramento temperatures soar, having your AC repaired quickly is worth the investment in your family’s comfort and well-being.
In Sacramento’s climate, we recommend AC maintenance at least once per year, ideally in early spring before the cooling season begins. Greenhaven’s hot, dusty conditions mean your system works harder and accumulates debris faster than in milder climates.
Annual maintenance includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, calibrating thermostats, and inspecting all components for wear. This preventive approach catches small problems before they become expensive repairs during peak summer heat.
Some homeowners with older systems or those who run their AC heavily choose bi-annual service – once in spring and once in fall. Regular maintenance extends your system’s lifespan, improves energy efficiency, and gives you confidence that your AC will perform when Sacramento temperatures climb.
