Your family doesn’t have time to sweat through Mather’s brutal summers waiting for repair appointments. We get your AC running the same day you call, so you can get back to what matters most.
Most Mather homes have HVAC systems installed around 2000—they’re hitting that 20-year mark where repairs become more frequent. We know these systems inside and out. Quick diagnosis, quality parts, lasting repairs.
No more sleepless nights when your AC quits during a heat wave. No more worrying about utility bills skyrocketing from an inefficient system. Just reliable cooling when you need it most.
We’re not some big corporate chain. Hot & Cold HVAC is your local Mather HVAC contractor, and we understand what living here means. Mediterranean climate. Scorching summers. Aging split systems in every home.
We’ve been fixing AC units through Mather’s toughest heat waves, working with the gas/electric systems that define this community. Our technicians live here too—we know exactly what you’re dealing with when that outdoor condenser starts acting up in July.
Licensed, bonded, insured. But more importantly, we’re neighbors who show up when we say we will and charge exactly what we quote. No games, no surprises.
First, we listen. You tell us what’s wrong—no cooling, strange noises, high bills—and we schedule you for the same day when possible. Our diagnostic process is thorough but fast.
Our technician arrives with the tools and most common parts already on the truck. We test your system, identify the problem, and give you an upfront price before we touch anything. No hourly rates, no surprise charges.
Once you approve the repair, we get to work. Most issues get fixed on the spot. If we need a special part, we’ll get your system temporarily running and return with what we need. You’re never left without cooling longer than necessary.

AC repair in Mather means dealing with systems pushed to their limits every summer. We handle refrigerant leaks, compressor failures, electrical issues, and fan motor replacements. If it keeps your home cool, we fix it.
Mather’s split systems are particularly vulnerable to condenser problems—that outdoor unit takes a beating in our heat. We specialize in condenser repairs and replacements, plus the ductwork and indoor components that complete your cooling system.
Preventive maintenance matters here. Regular tune-ups catch small problems before they become expensive failures during peak summer. We clean coils, check refrigerant levels, test electrical connections, and ensure your system runs efficiently when you need it most.
We offer same-day AC repair service in Mather for most calls, especially during heat waves when your cooling is critical. Our technicians carry common parts and diagnostic equipment, so many repairs get completed on the first visit.
During peak summer months, we prioritize emergency calls—no cooling when it’s over 100°F outside is genuinely dangerous. We’ll get someone to your home within hours, not days. If we can’t fix it immediately, we’ll at least get you temporary cooling while we source any special parts needed.
Mather’s Mediterranean climate creates specific AC challenges. Condenser units work overtime during our long, hot summers, leading to compressor failures and refrigerant leaks. The extreme temperature swings also stress electrical components.
Many Mather homes have systems installed around 2000, so we see a lot of aging equipment issues—worn fan motors, corroded coils, and outdated thermostats. Dust from our dry climate clogs filters and coils faster than in more humid areas. These are all problems we handle regularly and can often prevent with proper maintenance.
Absolutely. Nearly every home in Mather has a gas/electric split system—gas furnace in the attic, electric condenser in the backyard. We specialize in these configurations and understand the unique challenges they present.
Attic installations mean accessing your furnace requires careful handling of ductwork and electrical connections in tight spaces. We’re experienced with these setups and carry the right tools for safe, efficient repairs. Whether it’s your indoor air handler or outdoor condenser unit, we handle both sides of your split system.
AC repair costs depend on the specific problem, but we always provide upfront pricing before starting work. Simple fixes like capacitor replacements typically run $150-300. More complex repairs like compressor replacement can range $1,200-2,500.
We never charge by the hour or add surprise fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we begin. Many repairs qualify for SMUD rebates, which we can help coordinate to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Our goal is fair, transparent pricing that reflects the quality of parts and workmanship you receive.
Regular maintenance is your best defense against summer breakdowns. We recommend tune-ups twice yearly—once before cooling season and once before heating season. This catches small issues before they become expensive failures.
During maintenance visits, we clean coils, check refrigerant levels, test electrical connections, and replace filters. We also inspect your ductwork and thermostat settings. Most breakdowns happen because of neglected maintenance, not sudden equipment failure. A small investment in preventive care saves thousands in emergency repairs and keeps your family comfortable when Mather’s heat peaks.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency AC repair service throughout Mather. When your cooling fails during a heat wave, that’s a genuine emergency—especially for families with young children, elderly residents, or anyone with health conditions.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling, and we stock our trucks with the most common repair parts to minimize delays. While emergency service rates apply for after-hours calls, we believe fair pricing shouldn’t disappear during your time of need. We’ll get your system running safely and efficiently, then follow up to ensure everything continues working properly.
