You’re back to comfortable temperatures in your home, with confidence that the repair will hold up through Sacramento’s brutal summer heat. Because when we fix something, it stays fixed.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been keeping Hagginwood and North Sacramento homes comfortable for years. We understand how Sacramento’s extreme temperatures push AC systems to their limits.
Our technicians live and work in this area. We’ve seen every type of AC problem that comes with 110-degree summers and know exactly how to fix them permanently.
When your neighbors need reliable HVAC service, they call us. That’s because we treat every home like it’s our own and every repair like our reputation depends on it.
You call, we come out fast. Usually same day during emergencies, because we know Sacramento heat doesn’t wait.
Our technician arrives on time, diagnoses the problem thoroughly, and explains exactly what’s wrong in plain English. You get an upfront price before any work starts – no hidden fees or surprise charges.
We fix it right the first time using quality parts that handle Sacramento’s demanding climate. You’re back to cool, comfortable air, and we clean up completely before we leave. That’s it.

We handle everything from simple refrigerant leaks to complete compressor failures. Electrical issues, frozen coils, broken thermostats, ductwork problems – if it keeps your AC from cooling properly, we fix it.
Sacramento’s heat is tough on AC systems. Constant 100+ degree days, dust, and age all take their toll. We stock the parts that commonly fail in this climate and know the quickest way to get your system running efficiently again.
Whether your AC won’t turn on, isn’t cooling enough, or is making strange noises, we’ve diagnosed and repaired the same problem dozens of times in Hagginwood homes just like yours.
We prioritize emergency calls during Sacramento’s extreme heat days and typically respond the same day. Our trucks stay stocked with the most common parts that fail in this climate, so we can complete most repairs on the first visit.
During peak summer, we extend our hours and add weekend availability because we know waiting days for AC repair isn’t realistic when it’s 110 degrees outside. If we can’t fix it immediately, we’ll at least diagnose the problem and give you a clear timeline.
Repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong, but we give you the exact price upfront before starting any work. Simple fixes like replacing a capacitor might run $150-250, while larger repairs like compressor replacement can be $800-1500.
We never charge diagnostic fees if you proceed with the repair, and we don’t mark up parts excessively. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying and why. No surprise charges, no “additional fees discovered during the work.”
If your system is under 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half of replacement cost, repair usually makes sense. We’ll give you honest advice about whether fixing your current system is worth it.
Signs pointing toward replacement include frequent breakdowns, repairs costing more than $2000, or an AC that’s 15+ years old and struggling to keep up with Sacramento heat. We’ll walk through the math with you so you can make the right decision for your situation and budget.
Sacramento’s extreme heat puts enormous stress on AC systems, especially older units. When your AC runs 12+ hours daily in 105-degree weather, components wear out faster than normal.
Common culprits include dirty coils that can’t release heat properly, low refrigerant from small leaks, and electrical components that fail under constant load. Regular maintenance can prevent most breakdowns, but if you’re getting repairs every year, your system might be undersized for your home or reaching the end of its useful life.
Yes, we work on all major brands including Carrier, Bryant, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and others. Whether you have a central air system, heat pump, or ductless mini-split, we have the experience and tools to diagnose and repair it properly.
Our technicians stay current on training for new models and technologies, but we also know the older systems common in Hagginwood neighborhoods. Age doesn’t matter – if it cools air, we can fix it.
Close blinds and curtains to block sun, use fans to circulate air, and stay hydrated. If you have a two-story home, spend time on the lower level where it’s cooler.
Check that your thermostat is set to “cool” and the temperature is set lower than the current room temperature. Make sure your circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Beyond that, don’t try to fix it yourself – you could make the problem worse or create safety hazards.
