Your new HVAC system works exactly how it should from day one. No more sweating through summer nights or shivering through winter mornings because your system can’t keep up.
You get consistent temperatures in every room, lower energy bills that actually stay low, and the peace of mind that comes with professional installation. No callbacks, no “adjustments,” no wondering if it was done right.
When your system is properly sized and professionally installed, you stop thinking about your HVAC and start enjoying your home.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been serving Alhambra Triangle families and businesses with reliable heating and cooling solutions. We understand the unique climate challenges of Southern California – from those unexpectedly hot October days to the chilly winter mornings that catch everyone off guard.
Our licensed, bonded, and insured technicians know what works in this area. We’ve installed systems in everything from historic Craftsman homes to modern condos, and we know how to match the right equipment to your specific space and needs.
You’re not just getting an HVAC contractor – you’re getting neighbors who understand what comfort means in Alhambra Triangle.
First, we come to your home and actually measure your space. Not just square footage – we look at insulation, windows, sun exposure, and how your family uses different rooms. This isn’t a quick estimate; it’s a proper evaluation.
Next, we explain your options without the sales pressure. We’ll tell you what size system you actually need, which brands offer the best value, and what the installation will involve. You get a fixed price with no surprises.
Installation day, we show up on time with everything we need. We protect your floors, remove your old system properly, and install your new one according to manufacturer specifications. Before we leave, we test everything, show you how it works, and clean up completely.

Every HVAC installation includes proper system sizing, professional installation, complete system testing, and thorough cleanup. We handle all permits and inspections required by California building codes.
In Alhambra Triangle’s climate, proper installation is critical. Summer temperatures can hit the 90s, and your system needs to handle the load efficiently. We ensure your new system is properly sized – not oversized like many contractors do to play it safe, and not undersized to save you money upfront.
You also get our installation warranty, manufacturer warranties, and ongoing support. We’re local, so when you need service, we’re here. No waiting weeks for an appointment or dealing with call centers in other states.
Most residential HVAC installations in Alhambra Triangle take 1-2 days for a complete system replacement. If you’re only replacing the indoor or outdoor unit, it’s typically completed in one day.
The timeline depends on your specific situation. Older homes sometimes need additional work like electrical upgrades or ductwork modifications. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe during your estimate, and we stick to it.
We don’t rush installations to fit more jobs in a day. Your system needs to be installed correctly, tested thoroughly, and commissioned properly to work efficiently for years.
For most 2,000 square foot homes in Alhambra Triangle, you’ll need an air conditioning unit with 2.5 to 5 tons of capacity, typically on the higher end due to our climate. But square footage alone doesn’t determine the right size.
We perform a proper load calculation that considers your home’s insulation, windows, orientation, and how you use different spaces. Many contractors guess or use rules of thumb, which leads to oversized or undersized systems that waste energy and don’t maintain consistent comfort.
The right size system runs longer cycles, removes humidity better, and uses less energy than an oversized unit that short-cycles or an undersized unit that runs constantly.
Yes, we handle all required permits and inspections for HVAC installations in Alhambra Triangle and throughout California. This includes building permits, electrical permits if needed, and scheduling required inspections.
California has specific requirements for HVAC installations, including Title 24 energy efficiency standards. We ensure your installation meets all current codes and passes inspection the first time.
You don’t need to worry about paperwork or dealing with building departments. We handle the permits, schedule inspections, and make sure everything is completed properly before we consider the job finished.
We install all major HVAC brands including Carrier, Trane, Rheem, Goodman, and others. Rather than pushing one brand, we recommend equipment based on your specific needs, budget, and home requirements.
Each brand has strengths in different areas – some excel in efficiency, others in reliability or warranty coverage. We explain the differences honestly so you can make an informed decision.
What matters most isn’t the brand name on the equipment, but proper sizing, correct installation, and ongoing maintenance. A mid-tier system installed correctly will outperform a premium system installed poorly.
HVAC installation costs in Alhambra Triangle vary based on system size, efficiency rating, and installation complexity. We provide detailed, written estimates with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
The price we quote is the price you pay. We don’t add on “unexpected” costs during installation or charge extra for normal installation requirements like permits or basic electrical connections.
We offer financing options to help make quality HVAC installation affordable. Investing in proper installation saves money long-term through lower energy bills, fewer repairs, and longer equipment life.
Every HVAC installation includes manufacturer warranties on equipment (typically 5-10 years on parts) plus our installation warranty covering our workmanship. We also offer extended warranty options for additional protection.
Our installation warranty covers any issues related to our work – if something isn’t installed correctly, we fix it at no charge. This is separate from equipment warranties that cover manufacturing defects.
We stand behind our installations because we do them right the first time. Proper installation prevents most common problems and ensures your manufacturer warranties remain valid.
