When your HVAC system is installed correctly, you stop thinking about it. No more hot spots in summer or cold rooms in winter. No more sky-high energy bills because your system is fighting itself.
You get consistent temperatures throughout your home. Your utility bills stay predictable. Most importantly, your system runs quietly in the background while you focus on what matters to you.
That’s what happens when the installation is done right from day one. No callbacks, no “adjustments,” no excuses.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been handling HVAC installation in Gateway West for years. We understand how California’s temperature swings affect your home and what it takes to keep you comfortable.
Our technicians are licensed, trained, and equipped to handle everything from residential AC services to complete system replacements. We’ve seen what happens when installations are rushed or done incorrectly—that’s exactly what we’re here to prevent.
You’re not just getting an HVAC contractor. You’re getting a team that knows Gateway West homes, understands local building codes, and stands behind every installation we complete.
First, we assess your home’s specific needs. Room size, insulation, existing ductwork, electrical capacity—everything that affects how your system will perform. No guesswork, no one-size-fits-all approaches.
Next, we provide a detailed estimate that covers equipment, labor, and any additional work needed. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start. No surprises when the job is done.
During installation, our licensed technicians handle everything from equipment placement to electrical connections to final testing. We clean up completely and walk you through your new system’s operation. Your HVAC installation is complete when you’re confident everything works exactly as it should.

Your HVAC installation includes proper equipment sizing, professional installation of all components, electrical connections, and complete system testing. We handle permits, inspections, and warranty registration.
Gateway West homes face unique challenges with California’s energy costs and climate variations. We select equipment that handles your specific cooling and heating loads efficiently. Our installations meet all local codes and manufacturer specifications.
You also get a complete walkthrough of your new system, including maintenance recommendations and warranty information. We’re available for ongoing AC repair and cooling services when you need them. Your installation comes with our workmanship guarantee and full manufacturer warranties on all equipment.
Most residential HVAC installations take 1-2 days, depending on your home’s setup and the complexity of the job. Straightforward replacements where existing ductwork is in good condition typically finish in one day.
More complex installations involving ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or challenging equipment placement may require an additional day. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly.
We don’t rush installations to meet artificial deadlines. Your system needs to be installed correctly to work reliably for years. We’d rather take the time needed to do it right than create problems you’ll deal with later.
System size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, and local climate factors. Gateway West’s temperature variations require careful sizing to handle both heating and cooling loads efficiently.
We perform detailed load calculations rather than guessing based on square footage alone. An oversized system cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and failing to control humidity. An undersized system runs constantly and never reaches comfortable temperatures.
Our technicians measure your home, assess insulation and air sealing, and calculate the exact capacity needed. This ensures your new system runs efficiently and maintains consistent comfort throughout your home.
HVAC installation costs vary based on equipment type, home size, and installation complexity. Basic residential systems typically start around $5,000-$8,000, while high-efficiency or complex installations can reach $12,000-$15,000 or more.
Factors affecting cost include equipment brand and efficiency rating, ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, and permit requirements. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Financing options are available for qualified customers. We believe you should know all costs upfront rather than discovering surprise charges after work begins. Our estimates are comprehensive and accurate.
Yes, we provide complete AC services including repair, maintenance, and system upgrades. Many Gateway West homeowners call us for emergency AC repair during California’s hot summer months.
Our technicians are trained on all major equipment brands and can diagnose problems quickly. We stock common repair parts and can often fix issues the same day. For older systems, we’ll honestly assess whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense.
We also offer preventive maintenance programs to keep your system running efficiently and catch problems before they become expensive repairs. Regular maintenance extends system life and maintains your warranty coverage.
Yes, we hold all required California contractor licenses and insurance coverage. Our technicians receive ongoing training on new equipment and installation techniques to maintain their certifications.
We pull proper permits for installations and ensure all work meets local building codes. This protects you from liability issues and ensures your installation will pass inspections if you sell your home.
Licensed contractors also have access to manufacturer training and warranty programs that unlicensed installers don’t. This means better installation quality and full warranty coverage on your equipment.
We install equipment from leading manufacturers including Carrier, Bryant, and other trusted brands. We select equipment based on your specific needs, budget, and efficiency requirements rather than pushing one particular brand.
Different manufacturers excel in different areas—some focus on energy efficiency, others on reliability or advanced features. We’ll recommend the best fit for your Gateway West home’s requirements and your priorities.
All equipment we install comes with full manufacturer warranties. We’re factory-trained on the brands we install, ensuring proper installation and maintaining your warranty coverage. Our goal is matching you with equipment that performs reliably for years.
