You’re not looking for temporary fixes or sales pitches when your AC goes out. You want your home comfortable again, fast, without the runaround.
That’s exactly what you get. Our HVAC technicians show up when we say we will, diagnose the real problem quickly, and fix it right the first time. No guesswork, no coming back next week, no surprise charges.
Most repairs are completed the same day. You’ll have cool air flowing through your Southside Park home before dinner, not next week when it’s convenient for us.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been keeping Southside Park homes comfortable for years. We understand how California’s heat puts stress on AC systems and what breaks down most often in this climate.
Our technicians live and work in this community. We’re not a call center dispatching whoever’s available – we’re local HVAC contractors who’ve built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
When your neighbor recommends an AC repair company, it’s probably us. That’s because we focus on doing the job right instead of doing the most jobs.
First, we listen to what’s happening with your system. Strange noises, warm air, won’t turn on – whatever the symptoms, they tell us where to start looking.
Next, our technician runs a complete diagnostic on your AC system. We check electrical connections, refrigerant levels, airflow, and all the components that commonly fail. This takes about 20-30 minutes and tells us exactly what’s wrong.
Then we explain what we found in plain English, give you an upfront price for the repair, and get your approval before starting any work. No surprises, no pressure, just honest information so you can make the right decision for your home and budget.
Ready to get started?
Every AC repair includes a complete system inspection, not just fixing the immediate problem. We check for other issues that could cause future breakdowns, so you’re not calling us back in two weeks.
In Southside Park’s climate, AC systems work harder than in many other areas. We pay special attention to components that typically wear out faster here – like contactors, capacitors, and refrigerant lines that expand and contract with temperature swings.
You’ll also get straight talk about your system’s condition. If it’s worth repairing, we’ll fix it properly. If replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll tell you that too. No pushing unnecessary work, no hiding problems that will cost you more later.
Most AC repairs in Southside Park are completed the same day we arrive. Simple fixes like replacing a capacitor or contactor take 30-60 minutes. More complex repairs like fixing refrigerant leaks or replacing compressors typically take 2-4 hours.
We keep the most common replacement parts on our trucks, so we’re not making multiple trips or asking you to wait days for parts to arrive. If we need a special component, we’ll get it as fast as possible – usually within 24 hours.
Emergency calls during heat waves get priority scheduling. We understand that a broken AC isn’t just uncomfortable in California’s heat – it can be dangerous, especially for elderly family members or young children.
AC repair costs depend on what’s actually broken, not what we think you can afford. Simple repairs like replacing a capacitor run $150-250. Mid-range repairs like fixing electrical issues or replacing contactors typically cost $200-400. Major repairs involving compressors or refrigerant leaks range from $400-800.
We give you the exact price before starting any work. No hourly rates that keep climbing, no surprise charges for “additional problems we discovered.” You’ll know what you’re paying upfront.
If your repair estimate is high enough that replacement might make more sense, we’ll tell you. Sometimes fixing a 15-year-old system isn’t the smartest financial decision, and we’re honest about that.
Yes, we repair all major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, and others. Our technicians are trained on both older systems and newer high-efficiency models.
We service central air systems, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and package units. Whether your system is 5 years old or 20, we have the experience and parts to fix it properly.
Brand doesn’t matter as much as proper diagnosis and quality repair work. A good technician can troubleshoot any system once they understand how it’s supposed to work. That’s what we bring to every service call in Southside Park.
If the same problem comes back within our warranty period, we fix it at no charge. Our standard warranty covers parts and labor for 90 days on most repairs, longer on major components like compressors.
We stand behind our work because we do it right the first time. Most callbacks happen when technicians rush through repairs or don’t address underlying issues. We take the time to fix the root cause, not just the symptoms.
If a different problem develops later, that’s a separate issue not covered by the original repair warranty. But we’ll diagnose it honestly and let you know if it’s related to the previous work or just normal wear and tear.
If your AC is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half of replacement, fixing it usually makes sense. For systems 10-15 years old, it depends on the repair cost and how well the system has been maintained.
Systems over 15 years old with major component failures often cost more to keep running than they’re worth. Compressor replacements on older units rarely make financial sense when you factor in the age of other components.
We’ll give you honest guidance based on your specific situation. Sometimes a $300 repair buys you several more years. Other times, that same $300 is better spent toward a new system that won’t need constant attention.
Yes, we provide emergency AC repair service in Southside Park when temperatures soar and your system fails. We understand that some situations can’t wait until regular business hours, especially during California heat waves.
Emergency service is available evenings and weekends with faster response times than standard appointments. Emergency rates apply after hours, but we’re upfront about pricing before dispatching a technician.
We prioritize emergency calls for vulnerable residents – elderly customers, families with young children, or anyone with medical conditions affected by heat. Your comfort and safety matter more than our convenience.
