Your AC breaks down at the worst possible moment. You’re sweating, frustrated, and need someone who actually shows up when they say they will. We get it.
That’s why we built our entire service around speed and reliability. Same-day service isn’t just a promise—it’s how we operate. Our technicians arrive with fully-stocked trucks, diagnose the real problem fast, and fix it right the first time.
No more waiting days for parts. No more band-aid solutions that fail next week. Just professional AC repair that gets your home comfortable again, usually within hours of your call.
Hot & Cold HVAC knows what Sacramento summers do to air conditioners. We’ve been fixing AC units through 100+ degree heat waves, serving Southern Pacific / Richards and surrounding communities for years.
Our technicians understand the unique challenges of this climate. We’ve seen every type of breakdown that extreme heat causes. When your neighbor’s AC fails during a heat wave, they call us because we actually answer and show up fast.
We’re not the biggest company in town, but we’re the one that treats your emergency like it matters. Local, reliable, and ready when you need us most.
First, we listen. You tell us what’s happening—no cool air, strange noises, high bills—and we schedule you fast, often same-day.
Our technician arrives with diagnostic tools and a truck full of common parts. We inspect your entire system, not just the obvious problem. This catches issues before they become expensive emergencies.
Once we find the root cause, we explain exactly what’s wrong and what it costs to fix. No surprises, no pressure. If you approve, we handle the repair immediately. Most jobs are done in one visit, and we test everything before we leave to make sure it’s working properly.
Ready to get started?
We handle every type of AC problem Sacramento heat creates. Compressor failures, refrigerant leaks, electrical issues, frozen coils—if it keeps your home from cooling properly, we fix it.
Our service covers all major brands and system types, from central air to heat pumps. We stock parts for the most common repairs, which means we can usually fix your AC during the first visit instead of making you wait for special orders.
Southern Pacific / Richards residents deal with some of the area’s most intense summer heat. Your AC works harder here than almost anywhere else. That’s why we focus on repairs that last, not quick fixes that fail when you need cooling most.
We offer same-day service and understand that AC failures during 100+ degree weather are genuine emergencies. Most customers get a technician within hours of calling, not days.
Our trucks carry the most common repair parts, so we can often complete repairs during the first visit. For major component failures that require special parts, we’ll at least get your system partially working or provide temporary solutions while parts are ordered.
We also offer 24/7 emergency service because AC failures don’t wait for business hours, especially during extreme heat events.
Repair costs depend on what’s actually broken, not what we think we can sell you. Minor issues like dirty filters or electrical connections typically run $150-300. Major component repairs like compressor or evaporator issues range from $800-2000.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. No diagnostic fees that disappear into inflated repair costs, no surprise charges for “additional problems” we discover later.
Our goal is fixing your AC affordably, not maximizing our profit on every call. Many problems that other companies want to replace entire systems for can actually be repaired effectively for much less.
Yes, our technicians work on all major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and others. We also service heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and older systems that some companies won’t touch.
Brand doesn’t matter as much as having technicians who understand how cooling systems actually work. Our team focuses on diagnosing the real problem rather than just swapping parts until something works.
We keep common parts for most brands on our trucks, which means faster repairs regardless of what system you have. If we don’t have a specific part, we’ll get it quickly from our local supplier network.
Age and repair frequency are the biggest factors. If your system is over 15 years old and needs major repairs (compressor, evaporator, etc.), replacement often makes more financial sense than continuing to fix an aging system.
However, don’t let anyone pressure you into replacement without getting a second opinion. Many “unrepairable” systems just need a technician willing to actually diagnose and fix the problem instead of selling new equipment.
We’ll honestly assess whether repair makes sense for your situation. Sometimes a $500 repair buys you several more years of reliable cooling. Other times, investing in a new system saves money long-term through better efficiency and fewer breakdowns.
We stand behind our work with solid warranties on both parts and labor. If the same problem occurs within the warranty period, we’ll return and fix it at no charge.
Most AC problems, when properly diagnosed and repaired, don’t recur quickly. When they do, it’s usually because the original diagnosis missed something or a related component failed due to stress from the original problem.
We take callbacks seriously because our reputation depends on repairs that actually solve the problem. If something goes wrong with our work, we make it right without arguing about coverage or charging you twice for the same repair.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service because AC failures don’t respect your schedule. Sacramento’s extreme heat makes AC problems genuine emergencies, not just inconveniences.
Weekend and holiday service doesn’t carry premium pricing—we charge the same rates regardless of when you need help. Your family’s comfort and safety matter more than our convenience.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling, and we’ll work to get someone to your home as quickly as possible. During extreme heat events, we extend our hours and add technicians to handle the increased demand for emergency repairs.
