When your furnace quits in the middle of a cold night, you don’t need a sales pitch. You need someone who picks up the phone, shows up when they say they will, and fixes the problem without turning it into a three-day ordeal.
That’s what you get with Hot & Cold HVAC. We handle furnace repairs across La Riviera the way we’d want it done if it were our own house—fast, transparent, and done right the first time.
Most calls get same-day service. Our techs are licensed, trained on all major brands, and they’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong before they touch anything. No upselling. No “while we’re here” add-ons. Just the repair you actually need, priced upfront, so you can make the call without second-guessing it.
You’ll know the cost before work starts. Your heat will be back on before you’re stuck in another freezing night. And if something doesn’t feel right, you can text us directly at 916-519-1248.
Hot & Cold HVAC serves both Sacramento and Placer counties, and we’ve been doing furnace repair in La Riviera long enough to know what breaks, when it breaks, and why. The dusty air here clogs filters faster than most places. The temperature swings put extra strain on older systems. And when your furnace goes out, it’s usually at the worst possible time.
We’re not a national franchise with a call center in another state. We’re local, licensed, insured, and available when you actually need us—including evenings and weekends. Our techs know the neighborhoods, the housing stock, and the systems that tend to fail first in this climate.
If your furnace can be fixed, we’ll fix it. If it can’t, we’ll tell you why and what your options are. No pressure. No runaround.
You call or text us at 916-519-1248. We ask a few quick questions to understand what’s happening—no heat, strange noise, pilot light out, whatever it is. Then we schedule a time that works for you, usually same-day if it’s an emergency.
Our tech shows up on time, runs a full diagnostic, and walks you through what’s wrong in plain language. You’ll get an upfront price before any work starts. If you approve it, we fix it right there. Most repairs are done in one visit.
Once the work’s complete, we test the system to make sure it’s running properly and efficiently. You’ll get a clear invoice, a service guarantee, and a direct line if anything comes up later. That’s it. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no “we found five other things wrong” upsells.
If your furnace is beyond repair, we’ll explain why and give you honest guidance on replacement options. But we’re not here to sell you a new system if a $200 fix will get you through another few winters.
Ready to get started?
Every furnace repair includes a full system diagnostic, not just a patch job on the obvious problem. We check airflow, inspect the heat exchanger, test the thermostat, clean or replace filters, and make sure your system is running safely and efficiently.
La Riviera’s air quality means your furnace works harder than it should. Dust buildup is a constant issue here, and it’s one of the top reasons systems fail early. We clean what needs cleaning, tighten what’s loose, and catch small problems before they turn into expensive emergencies.
You’ll also get a clear breakdown of what we did and why. If we recommend maintenance or a follow-up, it’s because it’ll save you money or prevent a breakdown—not because we’re trying to pad the bill. Our techs are trained to work on Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, and just about every other brand you’ll find in Sacramento County homes.
And if your system is still under warranty, we’ll handle the paperwork and make sure you’re covered. We’re licensed, insured, and we stand behind every repair with a service guarantee.
Most furnace repairs in La Riviera run between $150 and $500, depending on what’s broken. A simple fix like a faulty thermostat or clogged filter is on the lower end. Replacing a blower motor or gas valve costs more.
We give you the exact price before we start work. No estimates, no ranges, no “it depends.” You’ll know what it costs, and you’ll decide if you want to move forward.
If your furnace is old and the repair costs more than half the price of a new system, we’ll tell you that too. Sometimes a repair makes sense. Sometimes it doesn’t. We’re not here to make that decision for you—we’re here to give you the information so you can make it yourself.
Yes. Most of our calls in La Riviera get same-day service, especially if your heat is out completely. We know you’re not calling because you’re bored—you’re calling because something’s wrong and it needs to get fixed.
We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within a few hours during business hours. If you call in the evening or on a weekend, we’ll do everything we can to get someone out the same day.
Our techs carry the most common parts on their trucks, so there’s a good chance we can finish the repair in one visit. If we need to order a part, we’ll let you know upfront and get it as fast as possible. But most repairs don’t require that.
We work on all major furnace brands—Carrier, Trane, Bryant, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, Amana, and more. Our techs are trained on both older systems and newer high-efficiency models, so it doesn’t matter if your furnace is five years old or twenty-five.
La Riviera has a mix of older homes and newer builds, and we’ve seen just about every type of heating system you can imagine. Whether it’s a gas furnace, electric furnace, or heat pump, we’ve got the experience and the tools to diagnose and fix it.
If your system is still under manufacturer warranty, we’ll work with that too. We’re licensed and insured, which means we can handle warranty claims and make sure you’re covered for parts or labor when applicable.
If your furnace is less than 15 years old and the repair costs less than a third of a new system, it usually makes sense to repair it. If it’s older than that, or if you’re looking at a major repair like a cracked heat exchanger, replacement might be the smarter move.
We’ll never push you toward a new furnace if a repair will get you through a few more winters. But we’ll also be honest if we think you’re throwing money at a system that’s on its last legs.
Other signs it might be time to replace: your energy bills keep climbing, some rooms are colder than others, the furnace cycles on and off constantly, or you’re calling for repairs every year. At that point, a new high-efficiency system could actually save you money in the long run. We’ll walk you through the math so you can decide what makes sense for your situation.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency furnace repair during extreme weather, and we prioritize calls when someone’s heat is completely out. You can reach us by phone or text at 916-519-1248, and we’ll get back to you fast.
Sacramento winters aren’t brutal, but when your furnace goes out at night and it’s 35 degrees outside, it’s still an emergency—especially if you have kids, elderly family members, or health conditions that make the cold dangerous.
We don’t charge extra just because it’s after hours. You pay for the repair, not the time of day. And if we can’t get out the same day, we’ll at least talk you through some troubleshooting steps to see if it’s something simple you can fix yourself while you wait. Most of the time, though, we’ll be there within a few hours.
A furnace tune-up includes a full inspection, cleaning, and adjustment of your heating system. We check the heat exchanger for cracks, test the ignition system, clean or replace the filter, inspect the blower motor, test the thermostat, and make sure everything is running safely and efficiently.
Regular maintenance catches about 80% of problems before they turn into emergency repairs. In La Riviera, where dust and debris clog filters faster than average, an annual tune-up can add years to your furnace’s lifespan and keep your energy bills from creeping up.
We recommend scheduling a tune-up in the fall before you start using your heat regularly. That way, if something’s wrong, we catch it before you’re stuck in the cold. And if your system is running fine, you’ll have peace of mind knowing it’s been checked by a licensed tech. Most tune-ups take about an hour, and they cost a fraction of what you’d pay for an emergency repair in the middle of winter.
