When your furnace quits in the middle of a Sparks winter night, you don’t need a sales pitch. You need heat back on, fast, without getting taken for a ride on price or pushed into a replacement you don’t need yet.
That’s what you get here. Same-day furnace repair service from licensed technicians who’ve been handling Nevada’s temperature swings for decades. We show up, diagnose the problem, give you an upfront price, and fix it right the first time.
No hidden fees. No upselling a new system when a $300 repair will buy you another five years. Just honest heating repair that gets your home comfortable again and keeps your bills where they should be.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been serving Sparks, Reno, and the Truckee Meadows for nearly 40 years. We’re not new to Nevada winters or the furnaces that keep families warm through them.
Every technician on our team is fully licensed, insured, and trained to work on all major furnace brands. We’ve installed over 30,000 systems and handled thousands more repairs across Sparks neighborhoods, from Victorian Square to the newer developments off Pyramid Highway.
You’re not getting a rookie or a runaround. You’re getting someone who knows how furnaces fail here, what parts wear out first, and how to fix it without wasting your time or money.
You call or text us at 916-519-1248. We ask a few quick questions about what’s going on with your furnace and schedule a same-day visit if you need it.
Our technician shows up on time, checks your system from the thermostat to the heat exchanger, and figures out exactly what’s wrong. Before any work starts, you get a clear price for the repair. No surprises, no pressure.
Once you approve it, we fix the problem, test the system to make sure it’s running safely and efficiently, and walk you through what we did. If we spot anything else that could cause trouble down the road, we’ll let you know, but we’re not going to push you into services you don’t need today.
Most repairs are done in one visit. If we need to order a part, we’ll get it fast and come back to finish the job. You’ll know what to expect every step of the way.
Ready to get started?
Every furnace repair starts with a full system diagnostic. We’re checking your ignition system, blower motor, heat exchanger, thermostat, filters, and all the parts that actually make your furnace work. If something’s about to fail, we’ll catch it.
Once we know what’s broken, we fix it with quality parts and make sure everything’s calibrated correctly. That means your furnace isn’t just running, it’s running efficiently so you’re not burning extra gas or electricity for no reason.
Sparks sits right in the high desert with cold snaps that can drop temps into the teens overnight. Your furnace works harder here than it would in a milder climate, which means belts wear faster, igniters fail sooner, and filters clog quicker. We account for that in every repair and tune up we do.
If your furnace is older or you’ve been putting off maintenance, we’ll also let you know if you’re looking at frequent repairs ahead. Sometimes a $350 fix buys you years. Other times, you’re better off replacing before you sink $2,000 into an aging system. We’ll give you the honest read either way.
Most furnace repairs in Sparks run between $150 and $500, depending on what’s broken. A simple fix like replacing a flame sensor or thermostat is on the lower end. Bigger jobs like a failed blower motor or cracked heat exchanger cost more.
We give you the exact price before we start any work, so there’s no guessing. If the repair is going to cost more than half of what a new furnace would, we’ll tell you that too, because at that point replacement usually makes more sense.
The other thing to consider is how old your system is. If your furnace is 15 years old and needs a $600 repair, that might be worth it if it buys you three more years. But if it’s 20 years old and this is the third repair in two winters, you’re probably better off upgrading to something more efficient.
The most common issue we see is a dirty or clogged filter, which makes your furnace work harder and can cause it to overheat and shut down. It’s an easy fix, but it causes a lot of service calls that could’ve been avoided with regular filter changes.
Ignition problems are next. If your furnace won’t light or the pilot light keeps going out, it’s usually the igniter, flame sensor, or gas valve. These parts wear out over time, especially in systems that cycle on and off a lot during Sparks’ unpredictable winter weather.
Blower motor failures are also common in older systems. If your furnace is running but not pushing air, or if it’s making loud grinding or squealing noises, the blower motor or belt is likely the culprit. We also see a lot of thermostat issues where the furnace itself is fine, but it’s not getting the right signal to turn on or off.
If your furnace is less than 12 years old and the repair costs less than half of a new system, repair almost always makes sense. You’re getting more life out of an investment you’ve already made, and modern furnaces are built to last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance.
If your furnace is older than 15 years, needs frequent repairs, or your energy bills have spiked even though your usage hasn’t changed, replacement is usually the smarter move. At that point, you’re paying more to keep an inefficient system limping along than you would to upgrade to something that uses 30-40% less energy.
We’ll never push you into a replacement if a repair will genuinely solve your problem. But we also won’t let you waste money on a furnace that’s going to fail again in six months. We’ll walk you through the math and let you make the call that makes sense for your home and budget.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency furnace repair service because we know heating problems don’t wait for business hours. If your furnace goes out at 2 a.m. on the coldest night of the year, you can call or text us at 916-519-1248 and we’ll get someone out to you.
Emergency calls do come with a premium, but we’re upfront about that cost before we dispatch a technician. For most people, it’s worth it to get heat restored quickly rather than waiting until morning, especially if you have kids, elderly family members, or pets in the house.
If it’s not a true emergency and you can wait until regular hours, we offer same-day service for most calls that come in before noon. That way you’re not stuck without heat for days, but you’re also not paying emergency rates if you don’t need to.
Once a year, ideally in the fall before you start using your furnace regularly. A furnace tune up catches small problems before they turn into expensive repairs and keeps your system running as efficiently as possible.
During a maintenance visit, we clean the blower, check the heat exchanger for cracks, test the ignition system, replace the filter, and make sure all the safety controls are working. It usually takes about an hour and costs a fraction of what you’d pay for an emergency repair in January.
Regular maintenance also keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid. Most warranties require proof of annual service, and if you skip it, you could be on the hook for a repair that would’ve been covered. For a system that costs $4,000 to $8,000 to replace, that’s not a risk worth taking.
We repair all major furnace brands including Carrier, Bryant, Lennox, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, Amana, York, and more. Our technicians are trained to work on gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pumps, so it doesn’t matter what system you have.
Being a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer means we have deep expertise with Carrier and Bryant systems, but we’re not limited to those brands. We stock common parts for most major manufacturers and can source specialty parts quickly if needed.
If you’ve got an older or discontinued model, we’ll do everything we can to find the parts and get it running again. But we’ll also be straight with you if parts are hard to find or if the repair doesn’t make financial sense compared to upgrading to a newer, more reliable system.
