Hot & Cold HVAC has been keeping Laguna families comfortable through Orange County’s demanding climate for years. We understand how the dry summer heat puts extra strain on your AC system, and we know the local homes and neighborhoods well enough to spot problems before they become expensive disasters.
Unlike the big chains that rotate technicians through your area, we’re your neighbors. We live here, work here, and our reputation depends on doing right by the people in our community. When we say we’ll be there, we show up. When we give you a price, that’s what you pay.
Our technicians aren’t just experienced—they’re honest. We’ll tell you when a simple repair will solve your problem, and we’ll be straight with you when it’s time to consider replacement options.
You call, we listen. We’ll ask a few questions about what’s happening with your AC so we can come prepared with the right tools and parts. Most of the time, we can give you a ballpark idea of what might be wrong and what it typically costs to fix.
We arrive on time with a fully stocked truck. Our technician will diagnose the problem thoroughly—not just treat the symptom, but find the actual cause. We’ll explain what we found in plain English, show you the problem if possible, and give you your options with honest pricing.
Once you approve the work, we get it done efficiently. We clean up after ourselves, test everything to make sure it’s working properly, and walk you through what we did. You’re back to comfortable living, usually the same day you called.

Living in Laguna means dealing with unique climate challenges that put extra demands on your air conditioning system. The Mediterranean climate here creates hot, dry summers that can push older AC units beyond their limits, while the coastal humidity affects indoor air quality.
We handle everything from emergency repairs on 20-year-old systems to installing high-efficiency units designed for today’s cooling demands. Whether you’re in one of the historic neighborhoods with older homes or a newer development, we understand the specific HVAC challenges your property faces.
Our service includes thorough system diagnostics, refrigerant leak detection and repair, compressor replacement, ductwork inspection, and indoor air quality improvements. We work on all major brands and can source parts quickly from our local suppliers, which means less waiting and faster repairs for you.
Most AC repairs in Laguna can be completed the same day you call, especially for common issues like failed capacitors, refrigerant leaks, or thermostat problems. We stock our trucks with the most frequently needed parts for all major AC brands, so we’re not making multiple trips or leaving you waiting for parts orders.
For more complex repairs that require special-order parts, we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront. In those cases, we’ll also let you know if there are any temporary solutions to keep you comfortable while we get the right parts. Emergency calls during Orange County’s heat waves get priority scheduling because we know how miserable it gets when your AC goes out in summer.
AC repair costs in Laguna depend on what’s actually wrong with your system, but we believe in transparent pricing from the start. Simple fixes like replacing a capacitor or cleaning coils typically run $150-$300. More involved repairs like compressor replacement or refrigerant leak repair can range from $400-$1,200 depending on your system’s age and type.
We’ll diagnose the problem first and give you the exact cost before starting any work. No surprises, no “we found additional problems” upcharges once we’re halfway through the job. If your repair estimate approaches the cost of replacement, we’ll discuss your options honestly so you can make the best decision for your situation and budget.
Yes, we service all major AC brands including Carrier, Bryant, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, and many others. Our technicians are trained on both newer high-efficiency systems and older units that have been keeping Laguna homes cool for decades.
Older systems actually make up a large portion of our repair work, especially in some of Laguna’s established neighborhoods. We understand the quirks of these systems and can often extend their life significantly with proper repairs and maintenance. We also maintain relationships with suppliers who can source parts for discontinued models, so age usually isn’t a barrier to getting your system running again.
The general rule is if your AC is over 15 years old and the repair costs more than half the price of a new system, replacement usually makes more sense. But every situation is different, and we’ll give you honest guidance based on your specific circumstances.
We consider factors like how well your current system has been maintained, your home’s cooling demands, and your budget. Sometimes a repair makes perfect sense even on an older system, especially if it’s been well-maintained and the fix is straightforward. Other times, continuing to pour money into an aging system just doesn’t make financial sense. We’ll walk you through the math so you can make an informed decision.
Absolutely. High energy bills are often the first sign that your AC system is working harder than it should. Common causes include dirty coils, low refrigerant, worn components, or ductwork problems that we can diagnose and fix.
Sometimes the solution is as simple as replacing a dirty filter or cleaning the outdoor coils. Other times, we might find that your system is oversized or undersized for your home, or that ductwork leaks are forcing your AC to work overtime. We’ll identify what’s causing the inefficiency and give you options for improving it, from simple maintenance to system upgrades that can significantly reduce your monthly energy costs.
Yes, we provide emergency AC repair service in Laguna, especially during heat waves when AC failures can be more than just uncomfortable—they can be dangerous. We understand that when your AC goes out during a summer heat spike, waiting until “normal business hours” isn’t an option.
Our emergency service includes evenings, weekends, and holidays. We prioritize calls from families with young children, elderly residents, or anyone with health conditions that make extreme heat particularly dangerous. Emergency service does include additional charges for after-hours calls, but we’re upfront about those costs when you call. Our goal is to get your AC running safely and efficiently as quickly as possible.
