You know what it’s like when your AC quits on a 105-degree Sacramento day. The house becomes unbearable. The kids get cranky. You’re calling every HVAC company in town, hoping someone can squeeze you in.
That’s exactly why proper HVAC installation matters. When we install your system, we size it correctly for your home’s specific needs. We don’t cut corners on ductwork or electrical connections. We test everything twice before we leave.
The result? Your system runs efficiently when temperatures soar. Your energy bills stay predictable instead of spiking every summer. And you get the peace of mind that comes from knowing your cooling system was installed right the first time.
Hot & Cold HVAC serves homeowners throughout American River Parkway and the greater Sacramento area. We understand what Sacramento summers do to HVAC systems – and more importantly, how to install systems that handle the heat.
Our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained on the latest HVAC technology. We’ve seen what happens when systems are installed incorrectly, and we’ve built our reputation on doing things right.
Whether you’re in Fair Oaks, Orangevale, or anywhere along the American River Parkway, we bring the same commitment to quality installation. Because when it’s 110 degrees outside, your AC needs to work perfectly.
First, we assess your home’s cooling needs with a proper load calculation. This isn’t guesswork – we measure square footage, check insulation, evaluate windows, and consider your home’s layout. This ensures we recommend the right-sized system.
Next, we provide a detailed written estimate covering equipment, labor, and any necessary modifications. No surprise charges later. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
On installation day, our certified technicians handle every detail. We protect your floors and furniture. We install new equipment according to manufacturer specifications and local codes. We test the entire system multiple times to ensure everything works perfectly. Then we walk you through your new system’s operation and answer any questions.

Our HVAC installation service includes everything needed for a complete, code-compliant installation. We handle equipment selection, electrical connections, ductwork modifications, refrigerant lines, and system commissioning.
For American River Parkway homeowners, we understand the unique challenges of Sacramento’s climate. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees, putting enormous strain on cooling systems. That’s why we focus on high-efficiency equipment properly sized for your home’s specific needs.
We also address common local issues like poor ductwork in older homes, inadequate electrical service, and outdoor unit placement that maximizes efficiency in Sacramento’s intense sun. Every installation includes a thorough system test and customer walkthrough to ensure you understand your new system’s operation.
Most residential HVAC installations take 6-8 hours for a complete system replacement. This includes removing old equipment, installing the new system, connecting electrical and refrigerant lines, and testing everything thoroughly.
The timeline can vary based on your home’s specific needs. If we need to upgrade electrical service or modify ductwork, installation might take a full day or extend into a second day. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe during our initial assessment.
We always aim to complete installation in one day when possible, because we know how uncomfortable Sacramento heat can be without air conditioning.
The right HVAC system size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window types, ceiling height, and layout. We perform a detailed load calculation to determine the exact cooling capacity your home needs.
Many contractors guess at system size or simply replace your old system with the same capacity. This often leads to problems – oversized systems short-cycle and don’t remove humidity properly, while undersized systems can’t keep up with Sacramento’s heat.
Our load calculation ensures your new system runs efficiently, maintains consistent temperatures, and handles American River Parkway’s climate demands without wasting energy.
HVAC installation costs vary based on system size, efficiency rating, and installation complexity. We provide detailed written estimates that break down equipment costs, labor, and any additional work needed.
Factors affecting price include your home’s ductwork condition, electrical requirements, and equipment selection. High-efficiency systems cost more upfront but save money on energy bills over time – especially important with Sacramento’s long cooling season.
We offer upfront pricing with no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start work, and we never add surprise charges after installation begins.
We provide comprehensive HVAC services including installation, repair, and maintenance. Our technicians can diagnose problems with existing systems, perform necessary repairs, and provide regular maintenance to keep your system running efficiently.
Regular maintenance is especially important in Sacramento’s climate. Dust, extreme temperatures, and heavy usage during long cooling seasons can stress HVAC systems. We offer maintenance plans to keep your system operating at peak performance.
Whether you need emergency repair on a hot summer day or want to schedule preventive maintenance, we’re equipped to handle all your heating and cooling needs throughout American River Parkway.
