Hot to cold was prompt on the service as our unit was not blowing cold in 94 degrees early summer. James came out the next day and was quick to diagnose the problem. We were back to cold AC in less than an hour. Appreciate the fast turnaround and professional service.

Set up an appointment for an annual check-up. Our technician Troy was very efficient and courteous. Called in the A.M. with his ETA, showed up on time, removed his shoes when entering my house cause he saw that's what I do, asked several questions to make sure everything was working properly or if there was any concerns with how things are running. After the service, followed through with what was done, age of the units, how they are looking and what we can do to stretch-out it's life line. Made sure there were no questions or concerned. I have been using Hot 2 Cold for several years now and find they are a good company with great employees!
Superb service on all counts!

I can’t say enough good about Barry. He actually fixed the problem with our air conditioner whereas we had another technician out the other day who misdiagnosed the problem and tried to sell us an entirely new air conditioning unit we did not need. This caused us extreme stress that was unnecessary. Thank you so much Barry for your honesty and expertise.
Excellent service

Berry came again and fixed the problem causing no A/C from one of my 2 units. Not to do with Berry but Hot2Cold always schedules me very late in the afternoon for some reason. Sometimes the tech can’t get here cause it’s too late and has to home the next day. Good thing I’m retired.

Broke waterline…then broke more waterlines

I am compelled to share my recent experience with Hot2Cold as a cautionary tale for prospective customers. My encounter with this company left much to be desired, to say the least. If I could rate them zero stars, I would do so without hesitation. The best way to judge a contractor is if they leave your home better than they found it. It is safe to say that the people over at Hot2Cold left my home worse than when they entered. I initially contacted Hot2Cold to request an estimate for replacing my AC unit and ductwork. I reached out in the morning, and they said they had availability that day from 10-12. Troy Andersen showed up at 11 and proceeded to carelessly break a waterline before noon. Luckily, I heard the water leaking and managed to prevent further damage by quickly shutting off the water supply. However, Troy remained silent for the next 30 minutes, leaving me in the dark about the situation. Finally, he reluctantly admitted to the mishap and begrudgingly committed to fixing it. I asked Troy if he had ever done this before. He responded, “of course, I know how to do it. I used to do installations for water heaters.” However, what ensued was a series of missteps and delays that exposed serious shortcomings in Hot2Cold's professionalism and competence. Troy's prolonged absence to procure parts from Home Depot, followed by multiple trips due to incorrect purchases, only exacerbated the situation. By 3:30 PM, further damage occurred, prompting Troy to acknowledge his limitations and suggest deferring to a more experienced technician the following day because he’s just the “salesguy” and he doesn’t do this type of stuff. Turns out…he’s not a plumber. At this point, he gives me the option of him continuing to try and fix what he’s broken or have another more experienced guy come at 1 pm – 3 pm tomorrow. By this time, I’m getting frustrated and call the office and communicate to them they need to send someone first this in the morning and not at 1 pm – 3pm. They said they rescheduled their most experienced guy, Berry Davignon, to come at 8 am but he showed up after 10 am. By 2 o’clock, he had made the problem worse and gave up having broken more pipes and torn down my firewall. Berry proceeded to tell me that they were going to send an actual plumber and that he was 45 minutes away. The office told me they would send information about this plumber…they never did. He finally arrived at 6 pm but I had to leave for a scheduled event and didn’t want an unsupervised stranger in my home…plus, he didn’t have the right parts. Finally, at 2:30 pm, three days later my water was back up and running. At no point did Hot2Cold seem to regard this as an urgent matter. I reached out to the Department of Business & Professional Regulation and found out that Hot2Cold doesn’t have a license for plumbing and neither do Troy or Berry. I am currently working on filing a formal complaint. I think it is safe to avoid this company. Beyond this disaster, the quotes for replacing my unit were insane. This guy didn’t listen to a thing I said plus he is charging thousands of more than the competition. Hot2Cold Quote: 3 Ton Franklin / Goodman 14 SEER $10,981.54 3 Ton Franklin / Goodman 15 SEER $13,103.10 Both these quotes were without ductwork which I wanted done. Caldeco gave me an estimate for a 3 Ton 16 SEER unit and duct work for $13,478 and an additional $2,000 to upgrade to their nicest Carrier unit. Air Quality Control gave me an estimate for 3 Ton 16 SEER Carrier unit for $10,241.36 with no ductwork. Air Pros gave me a quote of $9,480 for a 3.5 Ton 14.3 SEER Goodman unit and $10,483 for a 3.5 16 SEER Goodman. Chill Masters $6,000 3 Ton 14 SEER American Standard These guys are taking advantage of people. My hope is that by sharing my dreadful experience, others can avoid similar misfortune. In conclusion, my interaction with Hot2Cold was a cautionary tale of incompetence, poor communication, and inflated pricing. I implore Hot2Cold to reevaluate their practices, prioritize customer satisfaction, and implement measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

I asked Troy to have the repair persons fix and clean the outside unit. Cory/Rodney were on the roof Max 20 minutes rapped it up, showed me pictures. Did not bother to turn on the unit. It's a little louder and more vibration than before. I asked if they cleaned the unit Rodney said they were not told to clean it ! I’m frustrated not sure what my next move is.
Response from Hot 2 Cold Air Conditioning:
Hi Mark, thank you for making us aware of this. We didn't see where you called into us about this issue and would have been more than happy to follow up on this for you prior to posting a review. We will be more than happy to send Troy back out to evaluate the noise. The estimate that you approved was for the Contactor, the Condensor Pad for the roof, and the Hard Start Kit, so thats the work the crew was informed they needed to complete on the appointment. Please let us know here or call us at the office if you would like to have Troy come back out to evaluate the noise and you can also speak with him in regards to the cleaning.
Excellent, efficient service!

Today we visited because the AC was not working. We learned the unit was coming on in heat mode when the AC was asking for cooling. We found the thermostat was not wired properly and the thermostat was not programmed properly. After the wiring and programming were corrected the system came on as it should and is providing a 20° temperature split.
troy@hot2coldairconditioning.com
This is the most basic equipment available for purchase today. It uses a single speed compressor and a single speed indoor fan. This unit is the least expensive to initially purchase and install.
James T.
Today we visited to determine why the AC unit wasn’t cooling the home properly. We learned the system is low on refrigerant (R-410a) and located a leak in the inside coil. Mr. and Mrs. Gudenkauf just purchased this home so they decided to go ahead and upgrade the system instead of spending thousands to repair the old unit. We will be returning on Monday to replace the machine. I also let them know we will help keep it cooling until Monday, so they can call us if they notice it not keeping the home comfortable and we will get out to add refrigerant.

Today we visited because the air-conditioning system was not working. We learned the unit had a failed dual capacitor, and the outside fan was not working. James replaced the failed capacitor and got the system running temporarily. We will be returning to also replace the condenser fan motor.

This appointment was for a phone call. James was not able to reach client.

Today we visited to determine why the garage air handler has such a high static pressure. The machine is designed to have a maximum pressure of 0.50 in. W.C., but is operating at 1.10in. W.C. This high pressure has already caused a coil failure even though the unit is only three years old. The unit was moved from the attic and both the supply and return trunk lines are not sized for the proper volume of air. James put together a proper design and sent the estimate over to Mr. and Mrs. Mittelman. In addition to looking at the airflow issue James looked over the recent installation and the new Bosch unit is running great and ready for inspection.

The Bosch IDS Light is the first 15-SEER Inverter condenser on the market. This BOVA15 outdoor system combines the standard efficiency with our BVA15 fixed-speed air handler. With IDS Light, you get the benefits of our inverter system at a price point you’ll love!
James T.
Today we visited because the AC drain kept filling up and shutting off the unit. We discovered the condensate drain was clogged between the air handler and where the drain exists the home. James cleared the drain and the machine is operating properly.
James T.
Today we returned to the home to provide replacement information. We will be returning to replace the system with a new 3-ton 15 SEER system.

Today we visited for two purposes. First, it was time for yearly maintenance and second there is an ongoing issue of the unit not keeping up on hot days. We learned the system is performing perfectly according to manufacturer specifications. Refrigerant charge is perfect, the temperature difference is perfect, the ductwork and static pressures are perfect. James completed a heat load and learned the unit is undersized. The existing system is a 3-ton unit and the heat load determined a 3.5 - ton is needed.

Performed yearly maintenance
troy@hot2coldairconditioning.com
Performed yearly maintenance. Discovered there was a leak in the condenser coil, there was also a leak discovered in the evaporator coil on the inside recommended replacing coils or replacing full system as both coils need to be replaced, and that’s about it as much as a new system all together.
James T.
Today we visited because the AC unit was dripping water. Upon arrival the home was warmer than the set temperature and the unit was frozen. The inside coil was completely frozen and the refrigerant line all the way to the outside unit. We learned the unit is from 2002 and uses R-22 Freon which is now phased out. The primary issue today is a failed control relay in the outside unit. The relay failed in the ON position which causes the outside unit to run continuously even when the inside cycles off. To get the unit operating the system needs a new control relay and refrigerant. James was not able to get authorization for the repair because the owner is currently on a flight. He was texting her and can see the messages being delivered, but was not able to make contact.

Customers had a bad contact switch inside the condenser replace the contact switch condenser took a little while to come back online, however. Looked into the relay and found nothing wrong for now, but could be a potential issue in the future.
James T.
Today we visited to determine why the AC unit isn’t working. We learned the system is not functioning because it is out of refrigerant. James located two leaks in the unit, a large one in the outside coil and a small one in the inside coil. The parts are not available for this machine so James put together four replacement options and sent them to Pamela. The unit is NOT working at this time. James was not able to speak with the owners before leaving, but the information was delivered to Dimitri and Pamela.

Evaluate the system to confirm that the blower motor/module is in fact the issue. Once confirmed replace the blower motor and module with the aftermarket Gentec ECM.

Today we visited because the AC unit was not cooling the home. Mr. Glenn returned from a trip and noticed the home was warm. He changed the filter but the unit still wouldn’t cool. We learned the unit wasn’t working because it was low on refrigerant. We discovered a leak in the evaporator coil and on the compressor at the suction line. Also, when the drain was cleaned there was refrigerant dye in the drain. Since the machine is mismatched and past it’s expected life, James put together replacement information as well as the option to install refrigerant only. For today we only added refrigerant. - Recharge the system with refrigerant

Customer has a blown fan motor. Wants a second opinion
James T.
This appointment was a phone call to reconnect with Mr. Geller and get back to work on the consistent cooling issue. James will be visiting the home to perform the yearly maintenance and filter change as well as revisit the performance problems.
James T.
Today we visited because one of the AC units was not blowing cool air. We learned the unit was not working because the compressor was not turning on. The dual run capacitor in the outside unit had failed and this prevented the compressor from running. James replaced the failed part and the unit is now up and running properly.
