Your new system handles Riverside County’s brutal heat without driving up your electric bill. No more wondering if your AC will quit during the next heat wave.
You get consistent cooling that actually saves money. With California electricity rates at $0.337 per kWh—nearly double the national average—an efficient system isn’t optional. It’s survival.
The difference between a rushed installation and one done right? Years of reliable service versus constant repair calls and sky-high energy bills.
Hot & Cold HVAC serves River Park families who’ve been burned by the big companies. While they send high-pressure salespeople with vague time windows, we give you straight answers and show up when promised.
We know what Riverside County’s climate does to HVAC systems. The desert heat that pushes equipment past its limits. The sudden temperature swings that stress components. The dust that clogs filters faster than anywhere else.
Our reputation comes from honest work, not flashy ads. River Park neighbors call us because we fix problems instead of creating new ones.
We start with a proper load calculation for your specific home. Not the “rule of thumb” sizing that leaves you with an oversized system that wastes energy or an undersized one that can’t keep up.
Your River Park home’s insulation, windows, and layout determine exactly what you need. We remove your old equipment, install new components to manufacturer specifications, and test everything before we leave.
You get exact pricing upfront—never estimates that balloon into something different. We handle permits, rebate paperwork, and ensure your installation meets all California efficiency standards.

Your installation includes equipment rated for California’s extreme conditions. We install systems that maintain comfort when it’s 105 degrees outside, not units that struggle and fail when you need them most.
River Park homeowners can save big right now. California’s energy rebate program offers up to $8,000 for qualifying heat pump installations. Add federal tax credits, Riverside utility rebates, and manufacturer incentives—total savings can exceed $7,250.
We handle all rebate applications and ensure your system qualifies for maximum savings. Every installation includes proper ductwork assessment, electrical connections meeting local codes, and refrigerant charging to exact specifications.
Complete HVAC installation in River Park typically runs $7,000 to $12,000, depending on your home’s size and the system’s efficiency rating. Most 1,800-2,000 square foot homes need a 3.5-ton system, which costs $8,000 to $10,500 installed.
The price reflects equipment quality and installation complexity. Basic 14 SEER systems cost less upfront but will crush your electric bill with California’s high rates. A 16 SEER system offers the best balance—moderate upfront cost with significant long-term savings.
Current rebates dramatically reduce these costs. California’s new energy program provides up to $8,000 for qualifying installations. Combined with federal tax credits and utility rebates, you could save over $7,000 total.
System sizing requires a detailed load calculation that considers your home’s specific characteristics, not just square footage. We measure insulation levels, window placement, ceiling height, and orientation to determine exact cooling needs.
River Park’s Climate Zone 4 designation means we design for sustained high temperatures. A typical 1,800 square foot home needs about 3.5 tons, but homes with poor insulation, large windows, or high ceilings require larger systems.
Proper sizing is critical. Oversized systems waste energy and create humidity problems. Undersized systems run constantly and can’t maintain comfort during peak heat. We get it right the first time.
Standard HVAC replacement takes 6 to 8 hours for most River Park homes. This includes removing old equipment, installing new indoor and outdoor units, connecting refrigerant lines, and testing the complete system.
Complex installations requiring ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades may take a full day or need a second visit. We provide accurate timelines during your initial assessment based on your specific situation.
We schedule to minimize disruption and always clean up completely. Your new system will be cooling your home before we leave, fully tested and ready for whatever Riverside County’s climate throws at it.
Multiple rebate programs are available right now for River Park homeowners. California’s Home Energy Efficiency Rebate program provides up to $8,000 for qualifying heat pump installations, with amounts based on household income levels.
Federal tax credits offer up to $2,000 for ENERGY STAR certified systems. Riverside utility rebates add up to $3,750 for high-efficiency installations. Manufacturer rebates contribute another $1,500, bringing total potential savings above $7,250.
These programs have specific equipment and installation requirements. We handle all applications and ensure your installation meets program standards to maximize your savings. Requirements change frequently, so we stay current on all available incentives.
If your system is over 10 years old and needs major repairs costing more than $1,500, replacement usually makes better financial sense. Equipment prices have increased significantly, but new high-efficiency systems save enough on energy costs to offset the investment.
Riverside County’s extreme climate is particularly hard on HVAC equipment. Systems that struggle during 100+ degree days will only get worse and more expensive to maintain. New systems designed for our climate handle the heat better while using less energy.
Current rebates make replacement even more attractive. When you can save up to $7,250 through incentive programs, the cost difference between major repairs and new installation often favors replacement—with improved reliability and warranty coverage.
We install and service all major HVAC brands, from budget-friendly options to premium manufacturers like Carrier, Trane, and Lennox. We’re not tied to any single brand, so we recommend systems based on your needs and budget, not our inventory.
For installations, we focus on brands with strong warranties and local parts availability. This ensures quick repairs if needed and parts availability for years to come. We also consider which manufacturers offer the best rebate opportunities.
Our technicians receive ongoing training on all major equipment and stay current with new technologies. Whether servicing your existing system or installing new equipment, we have the expertise to handle any brand you have or are considering.
