When your HVAC system works right, you stop thinking about it. No more sweating through Sacramento’s triple-digit summers or worrying about sky-high energy bills. No more calling repair companies every few months because something else broke down.
You get consistent temperatures in every room. Your energy bills drop because modern systems use way less power than older units. And you sleep better knowing your system has a lifetime repair guarantee backing it up.
That’s what happens when you get a proper HVAC installation from contractors who actually know what we’re doing.
Hot & Cold HVAC has deep roots in the Sacramento area. We understand what homes in West Del Paso Heights need to stay comfortable through our intense summers and mild winters.
Every one of our contractors is trained specifically for residential and commercial HVAC work in this region. We’re not trying to earn your business for just one job – we want to be your HVAC company for life.
When Sacramento residents need reliable heating and cooling, they call us because we do the work right the first time, without breaking your budget.
First, we come out and look at your home. We measure your space, check your existing ductwork, and figure out exactly what size system you need. No guessing – we do the math so your new system actually works.
Then we walk you through your options. Different systems work better for different homes, and we’ll explain what makes sense for your situation and budget. We’ll also help you apply for rebates – Sacramento residents can get thousands back from SMUD and state programs.
Installation day, our crew shows up on time with everything we need. We protect your floors, install your new system, test everything, and clean up after ourselves. Before we leave, we show you how everything works and answer any questions you have.

Your HVAC installation comes with everything you need for reliable heating and cooling. We install the indoor and outdoor units, connect all the electrical and refrigerant lines, and test the whole system to make sure it’s working properly.
In West Del Paso Heights, we see a lot of homes that need ductwork updates when they get new systems. If your ducts are old or damaged, we’ll replace them so your new system can actually do its job. We also install programmable thermostats and air filtration systems if you want cleaner air.
Every installation includes our lifetime repair guarantee. If something goes wrong with our work, we fix it at no charge. We also help you register your equipment warranties and show you how to maintain your system so it lasts longer and runs more efficiently.
HVAC installation in West Del Paso Heights typically runs $6,000 to $12,000 for a complete system replacement, depending on your home size and the equipment you choose. Larger homes need bigger systems, which cost more upfront but are sized correctly for your space.
The final price depends on several factors: whether you need new ductwork, what efficiency level you want, and if you’re adding extras like air purification or smart thermostats. Higher-efficiency systems cost more initially but save money on energy bills over time.
We always give you upfront pricing before we start any work. No surprises, no hidden fees. And we help you apply for rebates – many Sacramento homeowners get $4,000 to $8,000 back from state and local programs.
The right size HVAC system depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window placement, and how many people live there. A system that’s too small won’t keep you comfortable during Sacramento’s hot summers. Too big, and it cycles on and off constantly, wasting energy and wearing out faster.
We calculate the exact size using industry-standard load calculations. For most homes in West Del Paso Heights, we’re looking at 2 to 5-ton systems. A 1,600 square foot home usually needs around 2.5 tons, while larger two-story houses might need 4 or 5 tons.
During our estimate, we measure your home, check your insulation, and factor in Sacramento’s climate. This ensures your new system is perfectly sized to keep you comfortable without wasting energy or money.
Heat pumps make a lot of sense in Sacramento’s mild climate. They heat and cool your home using the same equipment, and they’re much more energy-efficient than traditional systems. Since our winters rarely get below freezing, heat pumps work great year-round here.
Traditional AC and furnace setups cost less upfront, but heat pumps save more money over time through lower energy bills. Heat pumps also qualify for bigger rebates – you can get up to $8,000 back from California programs when you switch from gas to electric heat pump systems.
The best choice depends on your current setup and energy costs. If you’re replacing both heating and cooling equipment anyway, a heat pump usually makes more financial sense. We’ll run the numbers and show you the long-term costs of both options.
Most HVAC installations in West Del Paso Heights take one to two days, depending on the complexity of your job. A straightforward system replacement where we’re using existing ductwork usually takes one full day. If we need to replace ductwork or run new electrical lines, it might take two days.
We schedule installations so we can finish your job without rushing. Sacramento summers are tough, so we try to minimize the time your home is without cooling. If it’s a two-day job, we make sure you have some cooling for overnight.
Weather can affect timing – we don’t install outdoor units during heavy rain or extreme wind. But we’ll reschedule quickly and keep you informed about any delays. Most customers are surprised how fast we work while still being thorough.
Yes, we help you navigate all available rebates and financing options. Sacramento residents can get substantial rebates – up to $4,000 for moderate-income households and up to $8,000 for lower-income families. SMUD also offers rebates for high-efficiency equipment.
We handle the paperwork and make sure you get every rebate you qualify for. Many customers are surprised how much money they get back – we’ve helped people get $5,000 or more in combined rebates. This can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
For financing, we work with several lenders who specialize in HVAC installations. You can often get same-as-cash deals or low-interest loans that let you start saving on energy bills right away while spreading out the installation cost.
Every HVAC installation includes our lifetime repair guarantee on our workmanship. If something goes wrong because of how we installed your system, we fix it at no charge, period. This covers all our labor – electrical connections, refrigerant lines, ductwork, everything.
Your equipment also comes with manufacturer warranties. Most air conditioners and heat pumps have 10-year parts warranties, and some high-efficiency models have even longer coverage. Furnaces typically have 20-year heat exchanger warranties and 10-year parts coverage.
We register all your warranties and give you copies of everything. We also provide ongoing maintenance to keep your warranties valid and your system running efficiently. Many warranty issues happen because of poor maintenance, so our service helps protect your investment long-term.
