Our HVAC technicians don’t just patch problems – we find what’s actually wrong and fix it properly. That means your system runs efficiently, your energy bills stay reasonable, and you’re not calling for repairs again next month.
You’ll know exactly what’s wrong, what it costs, and when you’ll have cool air again before any work starts. No guessing, no surprises, no inflated bills for simple fixes.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been keeping Ryde comfortable through every heat wave and cold snap. We’re the local HVAC contractor who understands exactly what your system faces in this climate.
Our technicians live here too. We know which AC problems hit hardest in summer, which systems work best in local homes, and how to keep your energy costs down when temperatures soar.
You’re not getting a sales pitch from us – you’re getting straight answers from people who’ve seen every AC problem Ryde can throw at a system.
First, we diagnose what’s actually wrong – not what might be wrong or what we hope is wrong. Our HVAC technicians use proper testing equipment to pinpoint the exact issue.
Then we explain what we found in plain English and give you an upfront price. No technical jargon, no pressure tactics, just clear information so you can make the right decision.
Once you approve the repair, we fix it with quality parts that last. We test everything before we leave to make sure your AC is running properly and efficiently. You get cool air and peace of mind.

Your AC repair includes complete system diagnosis, quality replacement parts, and proper testing to ensure everything runs efficiently. We handle refrigerant issues, electrical problems, compressor failures, and airflow restrictions.
In Ryde’s climate, AC systems work overtime from May through October. We focus on repairs that improve efficiency and extend system life, not just quick fixes that fail when you need cooling most.
Every repair comes with clear explanation of what we fixed and practical advice for keeping your system running smoothly. You’ll understand your AC better and know what to watch for.
Most AC repairs in Ryde are completed the same day we arrive. Emergency calls get priority scheduling, especially during heat waves when AC failure isn’t just uncomfortable – it’s dangerous.
We stock common parts for most AC systems, so typical repairs like capacitor replacement, thermostat issues, or refrigerant leaks are usually fixed within a few hours. More complex repairs might require ordering specific parts, but we’ll get your system running temporarily while we wait.
For non-emergency repairs, we typically schedule within 24-48 hours. During peak summer months, emergency calls may have slightly longer response times, but we prioritize based on urgency and health concerns.
AC repair costs depend on what’s actually wrong with your system. Simple fixes like thermostat replacement run $150-300, while major component failures like compressor replacement can cost $1,500-3,000.
We always diagnose first and give you an exact price before starting any repair work. No surprise charges, no inflated labor rates, no mysterious fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying and why.
Most Ryde homeowners find our pricing fair compared to other HVAC contractors, especially when you factor in the quality of parts we use and the fact that our repairs actually last. Cheap fixes that fail quickly aren’t really cheaper.
Yes, our HVAC technicians work on all major AC brands including Carrier, Bryant, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and others. We service central air systems, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and commercial HVAC units.
Different brands have different common failure points and repair procedures. Our technicians stay current on manufacturer updates and proper repair techniques for each system type. This matters because improper repairs can damage expensive components.
Whether you have a 20-year-old system or the latest high-efficiency unit, we have the tools and knowledge to diagnose and repair it correctly. Some very old systems may have parts availability issues, but we’ll be upfront about that.
Poor cooling usually comes from restricted airflow, low refrigerant, or failing components. Dirty filters and blocked vents are the most common culprits – your system can’t move enough air to cool effectively.
Refrigerant leaks cause gradual cooling loss over time. The system runs constantly but never reaches the temperature you set. Low refrigerant also damages the compressor if not fixed promptly, turning a moderate repair into an expensive one.
Failing capacitors, bad thermostats, or dirty coils also reduce cooling performance. Our diagnostic process identifies the actual cause so you get the right repair, not guesswork that wastes your money and leaves you hot.
If your AC is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half of replacement cost, repair usually makes sense. For systems over 15 years old with major component failures, replacement often provides better long-term value.
We’ll give you honest advice based on your specific situation. Factors include your system’s age, condition, efficiency rating, and repair history. Sometimes a $2,000 repair on a 20-year-old system isn’t smart when a new system costs $5,000.
Energy efficiency matters too. Newer AC systems use significantly less electricity than older units. In Ryde’s climate, the energy savings from a high-efficiency system can offset replacement costs over time.
Yes, we provide emergency AC repair throughout Ryde, especially during heat waves when AC failure creates health risks. Emergency calls get priority scheduling, typically within 2-4 hours depending on demand.
Emergency service does include additional charges for after-hours, weekend, and holiday calls. However, we believe emergency pricing should be reasonable – you’re already dealing with the stress of no AC in hot weather.
We define emergencies as situations where AC failure creates health risks, property damage potential, or business disruption. If you can wait until normal business hours safely, that’s usually more cost-effective for non-urgent repairs.
