You’re not looking for a long-term relationship with your heating contractor. You need your furnace working tonight, not next week when someone finally calls you back.
That’s what same-day service actually means here. Our trucks stay stocked with the parts most Dollar Point furnaces need, so we’re fixing the problem on the first visit instead of ordering parts and scheduling a return trip. You get upfront pricing before we touch anything, which means no surprise charges when the work’s done.
When temperatures around Tahoe drop into the 30s at night, a broken furnace isn’t just uncomfortable. It’s a problem that affects your whole household. We show up with licensed technicians who’ve handled Sacramento and Placer County heating systems long enough to diagnose the issue fast and explain what’s actually wrong in plain terms.
Hot & Cold HVAC started because too many Sacramento County families were getting hit with unreliable service and bills that didn’t match the quote. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve been handling furnace repairs across Dollar Point and the broader Tahoe area long enough to know what breaks and why.
Our technicians aren’t learning on your system. They’re trained specifically for the climate challenges around here—cold winter nights, wildfire smoke clogging filters, and the wear that comes from systems running hard when you need them most. Every truck is fully stocked because we know what Dollar Point furnaces need before we arrive.
You can text us at (916) 519-1248 if that’s easier than a phone call. We’re available 24/7 because furnace emergencies don’t wait for business hours.
You call or text (916) 519-1248, and we schedule a same-day appointment if you need it. No answering service—you’re talking to someone who can actually get a technician to your door.
When our tech arrives, they’ll run a full diagnostic to figure out what’s causing the problem. Could be a failed ignitor, a clogged filter from wildfire smoke, a faulty thermostat, or something else. They’ll explain what they found in terms that make sense, not HVAC jargon.
Before any repair work starts, you get the price. If it’s a straightforward fix, we handle it right there with parts from the truck. If your system is old enough that repairs don’t make financial sense anymore, we’ll tell you that too and walk through replacement options, including available rebates through SMUD or federal tax credits for energy-efficient systems.
Once the work’s done, we test the system to make sure it’s heating properly and consistently. You’re not paying for a Band-Aid fix that fails again in two weeks.

Furnace repair covers the immediate problem—your system isn’t heating, it’s making strange noises, or your energy bills jumped without explanation. We handle all furnace brands and all fuel types: gas, electric, oil, whatever’s heating your home.
Regular furnace maintenance runs $150 to $450 depending on your system, and it’s the difference between a furnace that lasts 15 years and one that dies at 10. A tune-up includes cleaning the burners, checking the heat exchanger for cracks, testing the ignition system, replacing filters, and making sure your thermostat is calibrated correctly. Around Dollar Point, wildfire smoke clogs filters faster than normal, so we check that every time.
If you’re dealing with a boiler instead of a forced-air furnace, we service those too. Boiler repair involves checking pressure levels, inspecting for leaks, and making sure the circulator pump is moving water through your radiators efficiently. Most boiler issues show up as uneven heating or strange noises from the baseboards.
Energy efficiency matters more than it used to. A furnace tune-up can save you up to 40% on heating costs by making sure your system isn’t working harder than it needs to. We’ll also help you access rebates if you’re upgrading to a high-efficiency system—SMUD offers incentives, and federal tax credits are available for qualifying equipment.
Most furnace repairs in Dollar Point run between $100 and $480, depending on what’s broken. Replacing an ignitor or a thermostat sits on the lower end. Fixing a cracked heat exchanger or a failed blower motor costs more.
You’ll know the exact price before we start the work. We don’t give estimates that change once the job’s done. If your furnace is old enough that the repair costs more than half the price of a new system, we’ll tell you that upfront so you can make the call that makes sense for your budget.
Labor, parts, and diagnostics are all included in the price we quote. No trip charges that get tacked on after. No “unforeseen complications” that double the bill.
If your furnace is over 15 years old and you’re calling for repairs more than once a year, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Repair costs add up fast, and older systems run less efficiently, which means higher energy bills even when they’re working.
Inconsistent heating is another sign. If some rooms stay cold no matter how high you crank the thermostat, your furnace is struggling to distribute heat properly. That could mean ductwork issues, but it often points to a system that’s losing capacity.
Rising energy bills without a change in usage tell you the furnace is working harder to produce the same amount of heat. That’s inefficiency, and it only gets worse. We’ll run a full diagnostic and give you honest advice on whether a repair buys you a few more years or if you’re throwing money at a system that’s done.
Yes. We’re available 24/7 because furnaces don’t break on a convenient schedule. When temperatures drop into the 30s at night around Dollar Point, waiting until Monday morning isn’t an option.
You can call or text (916) 519-1248 any time, and you’ll reach a live person who can dispatch a technician. We don’t use answering services. Our trucks stay stocked with common parts so we can handle most emergency repairs on the spot instead of scheduling a follow-up visit.
Same-day service is standard, not an upcharge. If your furnace quits in the evening and you need heat back on tonight, that’s what we’re here for.
We service all furnace brands—Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Bryant, Amana, York, Coleman, whatever’s installed in your home. Our technicians are trained on the systems most common in Dollar Point and the broader Sacramento and Placer County areas.
Brand doesn’t matter as much as the specific issue. A failed ignitor works the same way across most gas furnaces. A clogged filter causes the same problems whether it’s a high-end system or a builder-grade unit. We carry parts for the most common repairs, and if your furnace needs something unusual, we’ll get it fast.
If you’ve got a newer high-efficiency system or an older model that’s been discontinued, we can still work on it. We’ve handled enough furnace repairs around here to know how to source parts and fix systems that other companies turn away.
Once a year, ideally before winter hits and you’re running your furnace daily. Annual maintenance catches small problems before they turn into expensive repairs or a complete system failure on the coldest night of the year.
Around Dollar Point, wildfire smoke is a bigger issue than in other parts of California. Smoke clogs filters faster, which makes your furnace work harder and wear out sooner. If you’re in an area that saw heavy smoke during fire season, checking your filter more than once a year makes sense.
A standard furnace tune-up includes cleaning the burners, inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks, testing the ignition system, checking airflow, and replacing the filter. It runs $150 to $450 depending on your system. That’s a lot cheaper than a mid-winter breakdown that leaves you without heat while you wait for parts.
Yes. If your furnace is old enough that replacement makes more sense than another repair, we’ll walk you through available rebates and financing options. SMUD offers rebates for energy-efficient heating systems, and federal tax credits are available for qualifying high-efficiency furnaces.
The rebate process isn’t complicated, but it does require specific documentation and equipment that meets efficiency standards. We handle installs that qualify, and we’ll make sure you get the paperwork you need to claim the rebate.
Financing is available if you don’t want to pay the full cost upfront. A high-efficiency furnace costs more initially, but it saves you money every month on energy bills. Over the life of the system, you’re usually coming out ahead even after factoring in the higher purchase price. We’ll run the numbers with you so you know exactly what you’re looking at before making a decision.
