About Hot & Cold HVAC

Complete HVAC Repair Solutions

Every Type of System, Every Brand

We repair all residential and commercial HVAC systems—air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and commercial units. Whether it’s a simple filter issue or a complex compressor failure, we have the tools and expertise to handle it. Our service includes thorough system diagnostics, component testing, refrigerant leak detection, electrical troubleshooting, and indoor air quality assessment. We carry parts for major brands and can source specialty components quickly. In Rancho Cordova’s demanding climate, your HVAC system works overtime. Summer temperatures in the 90s mean your AC runs constantly, while winter humidity can cause condensation issues. We address these local challenges with solutions that work in our specific environment, not generic fixes that might work elsewhere but fail here.

How quickly can you repair my HVAC system in an emergency?

For true emergencies—no heat in winter or no AC during extreme heat—we prioritize same-day service. We typically respond within 2-4 hours during business hours and offer emergency service outside normal hours. Most repairs are completed the same day, especially common issues like failed capacitors, clogged filters, or thermostat problems. More complex repairs involving special-order parts might take 1-2 days, but we’ll provide temporary solutions when possible. We keep our trucks stocked with the most commonly needed parts for Rancho Cordova’s climate, including capacitors, contactors, thermostats, and refrigerant. This means fewer return trips and faster repairs for you.

What's the difference between repairing and replacing my HVAC system?

Repair makes sense when the fix costs less than half the replacement cost and your system is under 15 years old. We’ll repair systems that have years of reliable service left and where the repair addresses the root cause, not just symptoms. Replacement is usually the better choice for systems over 15-20 years old, units requiring frequent repairs, or when repair costs approach 50% of replacement cost. In Rancho Cordova’s demanding climate, older systems often struggle with efficiency and reliability. We’ll always give you both options with honest pricing. If your 18-year-old system needs a $1,200 compressor repair, we’ll tell you that and also quote a new system. You decide what makes financial sense for your situation.

Why is my energy bill so high even though my HVAC seems to work?

High energy bills with a “working” system usually mean your HVAC is working harder than it should. Common causes include dirty filters restricting airflow, refrigerant leaks forcing the compressor to run longer, or ductwork leaks wasting conditioned air. In Rancho Cordova’s hot summers, even small efficiency losses add up fast. A system that’s 20% less efficient can increase your cooling costs by $50-100 per month during peak season. We’ll perform a complete system efficiency analysis, checking refrigerant levels, airflow, ductwork integrity, and component performance. Most efficiency issues can be fixed for much less than the money you’ll save on energy bills.

Can you improve my indoor air quality during HVAC repair?

Absolutely. Poor indoor air quality often stems from HVAC system issues—dirty filters, contaminated ductwork, or inadequate ventilation. We address these problems as part of comprehensive repair service. During repair, we inspect and clean your system’s air handling components, check for mold or debris in ductwork, and ensure proper ventilation. We can also install upgraded filtration systems, UV air purifiers, or humidity control devices. Rancho Cordova’s dry climate and occasional wildfire smoke make indoor air quality especially important. We’ll recommend specific solutions based on your home’s needs and your family’s health concerns, from basic filter upgrades to whole-house air purification systems.

Do you service commercial HVAC systems in Rancho Cordova?

Yes, we handle commercial HVAC repair for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and light industrial facilities throughout Rancho Cordova. Commercial systems have different requirements than residential units—higher capacity, more complex controls, and stricter uptime demands. We understand that commercial HVAC failures cost you money in lost productivity, uncomfortable customers, and potential inventory damage. That’s why we prioritize commercial emergency calls and stock parts for common commercial system brands. Our commercial services include rooftop unit repair, split system maintenance, building automation troubleshooting, and preventive maintenance programs. We work around your business hours when possible and provide temporary cooling or heating solutions for critical operations.

What should I do if my HVAC system makes strange noises?

Strange noises usually indicate mechanical problems that will get worse if ignored. Grinding sounds often mean motor bearings are failing, while banging or clanking suggests loose components or damaged fan blades. Turn off your system immediately if you hear loud grinding, screeching, or banging—continuing to run it can cause expensive secondary damage. Clicking, humming, or minor rattling is less urgent but still needs professional attention. We’ll diagnose the exact source of the noise using specialized tools and repair it properly. Most noise issues are fixable with component replacement or adjustment, and addressing them early prevents more expensive repairs later. Don’t wait until a small problem becomes a major system failure.
