Citrus Heights Heating & Air has been serving homeowners, landlords, and commercial clients in Citrus Heights and across Sacramento County since 2010. That's 16 years of showing up, diagnosing the problem, and getting heating and cooling systems back where they belong. Whether you own a single-family home, manage a rental portfolio, or run a commercial property, we handle the full range of HVAC work this area demands. Furnace fixed. AC humming. Home comfortable again. Call (279) 399-5165 to schedule service.
Our technicians know the homes and systems in this area, and that familiarity shows in how efficiently a job gets done. We handle AC repair and service, heating and furnace repair, heat pump repair and installation, full HVAC system replacement, ductwork repair and sealing, thermostat and smart-control installation, indoor air quality improvements, and seasonal maintenance tune-ups. That covers the everyday work a home needs to stay comfortable through Sacramento Valley's long, hot summers and its cooler winter months.
We work with experienced technicians who respect your home, and that same standard applies on commercial jobs. Office buildings, retail spaces, and multi-unit residential properties all get the same careful approach. A property manager calling about a tenant's failed AC unit gets the same attention as a homeowner whose furnace quit overnight. We're ready to get your heating and cooling running again.
Keeping a home comfortable starts with a system that runs right, and when an AC stops cooling or blows warm air, it needs attention fast. In the Sacramento Valley, a malfunctioning air conditioner in July is not a minor inconvenience. When customers call us about an AC not turning on, uneven cooling, or a unit that runs constantly without dropping the temperature, we come out to find the actual cause rather than guess.
A typical service visit covers a full system check: evaporator coil condition, refrigerant level and leak diagnosis, condenser and compressor function, and airflow through the system. If the unit needs a tune-up rather than a repair, we handle that too. Preventive AC maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive ones, and it keeps a system running efficiently through the months when it works hardest.
Sacramento County winters are mild compared to much of the country, but a furnace that stops working or blows cold air is still a serious problem, especially overnight. We respond to no-heat calls as urgent situations because that's what they are. Furnace not working, heat pump not heating, blower running but no warmth coming through the vents: these are the calls we take seriously and move on quickly.
Our technicians service gas furnaces, heat pumps, and air handlers. That includes furnace tune-ups, heat pump maintenance, blower and air handler inspection, and full system diagnostics when a heating system behaves unpredictably. Heat pumps also handle cooling, so a heat pump that won't cool in summer gets the same priority treatment. We want the HVAC work done right the first time, and that means a thorough diagnosis before any repair begins. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed today.
Leaking or poorly sealed ductwork wastes conditioned air and drives up energy costs. It also causes the uneven temperatures that make one room comfortable and another miserable. We repair and seal ductwork, test airflow, and trace the source of hot or cold spots that a system tune-up alone won't fix. For spaces without existing ductwork, ductless mini-split systems are a practical solution that avoids the cost and disruption of running new duct lines.
Thermostat and smart-control installation is another common request. A properly programmed thermostat makes a real difference in comfort and in how hard a system has to work. We install and configure smart thermostats that give homeowners and property managers better control over their systems.
Indoor air quality is a real concern in the Sacramento area. Wildfire smoke, seasonal dust, and valley air conditions put a burden on filtration systems that weren't designed for it. We install high-efficiency air filtration, including MERV-13 and above for smoke filtration, and whole-home air purification systems that work with the existing HVAC equipment.
Not every HVAC company works the same way, and the difference shows most clearly when a customer needs a full AC replacement. Citrus Heights homes run their air conditioning hard. The Sacramento Valley heat season stretches from late spring through early fall, and systems that have been carrying that load for 12 to 15 years often reach a point where repair costs no longer make sense.
When that point comes, our locally owned and operated HVAC technicians walk through the assessment honestly. We look at what the home needs, explain the options, and let the customer make an informed decision. Installation day is straightforward: the old equipment comes out, the new system goes in, and we test everything before we leave. No loose ends, no follow-up calls to finish what should have been done on day one.
A full system replacement goes beyond swapping the AC unit. It may include a new heat pump, a new air handler, updated ductwork connections, and a thermostat upgrade to match the new equipment. For homeowners considering heat pump electrification, a system replacement is the right time to make that transition. We handle the equipment and its installation, and we coordinate on permits so the job is done correctly.
Commercial HVAC installation follows the same process at a larger scale. Offices, retail spaces, and multi-unit buildings each have their own load requirements and zoning considerations. We assess the space, recommend the right equipment, and install systems that can handle the demand. Let us handle the install and the permits.
You shouldn't have to chase a contractor for answers when your system goes down in the middle of a Sacramento Valley heat wave or on a cold January night. We dispatch for same-day and urgent calls because a completely failed system is not something a family or a commercial tenant can wait days to resolve. No cool in August and no heat in December are both emergencies, and we treat them that way.
When you call, you reach someone who can actually help. We answer the phone. We dispatch the technician. We keep it simple. Call us and we'll handle the rest.
Scheduling an HVAC tech shouldn't be complicated. We keep the process straightforward: you call, we confirm availability, and we give you a clear estimate before any work begins. There are no surprise charges at the end of a job. If the diagnosis turns up something beyond the original scope, we explain it and get your approval before moving forward.
A service-call or diagnostic fee is a normal part of the process, and we're upfront about it from the first conversation. Hire local and you get people who stand behind the work. We treat your home and its system the way we would our own, and that means honest communication about what something costs before we start. Call (279) 399-5165 to request an estimate or schedule a service call.
We are based in Citrus Heights and serve the surrounding Sacramento County communities regularly. That includes Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Roseville, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento proper. Whether a call comes from a homeowner in Orangevale or a property manager overseeing a multi-unit building in Rancho Cordova, we cover the area.
Sixteen years in this trade means familiarity with the local housing stock, the systems that were installed in it, and the conditions those systems operate under. Older homes in the area often have aging ductwork or equipment that hasn't been serviced in years. Newer construction has its own set of needs. We work across both. Commercial clients, including offices, retail locations, and residential property managers across Sacramento County, are a regular part of the work we do. Qualified technicians. Code-compliant work. Fair rates.

How do I know if my system should be repaired or replaced?
We look at the age of the equipment, the cost of the repair relative to what the system is worth, and how efficiently it has been running. A system that is 12 to 15 years old and requiring repeated repairs is often a better candidate for replacement than another round of fixes. We give you an honest assessment before recommending either path.
What are the most common signs that my AC needs attention?
Warm air blowing from the vents when the system is running, weak airflow through the home, a unit that cycles on and off without reaching the set temperature, ice forming on the coil or lines, and unusual noises from the outdoor unit are all signs worth calling about. Catching these early usually means a simpler repair.
Why would one room be hotter or colder than the rest of the house?
Uneven temperatures are often a ductwork problem. Leaking, disconnected, or undersized ducts can starve certain rooms of conditioned air while others get too much. A thermostat or zoning issue can also cause this. We inspect both the equipment and the duct system to find the actual cause before recommending a fix.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We keep same-day availability open for urgent calls, including no-heat and no-cool situations. When your system is down, call us and we will get a technician on the way.
How often should I schedule a maintenance tune-up?
Once a year is the standard recommendation for most systems. In the Sacramento area, where air conditioners work hard through a long, hot summer, scheduling a tune-up in spring before the heat arrives is a good habit. A tune-up covers a full inspection, cleaning, refrigerant check, and any adjustments needed to keep the system running efficiently.
What does a seasonal tune-up actually cover?
A standard tune-up includes inspecting and cleaning the indoor and outdoor components, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections and controls, inspecting the heat exchanger on a furnace, clearing the condensate drain, and checking airflow through the system. The goal is to catch small issues before they become breakdowns.
What can strange noises from my HVAC unit mean?
Banging or clanking often points to a loose or broken component inside the unit. A squealing noise can indicate a belt or motor bearing issue. Rattling at startup sometimes means debris in the system or a loose panel. Clicking that does not stop can be a sign of a failing relay or control board. Any noise that is new or getting worse is worth a call.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins so you know what to expect. Our pricing is straightforward and we explain our findings before we start any repair or replacement.
Can a dirty filter or coil actually hurt my system's performance?
Yes, significantly. A clogged filter restricts airflow, which forces the system to work harder and can cause the evaporator coil to freeze. A dirty coil reduces the system's ability to transfer heat, which means longer run times, higher energy use, and more wear on the compressor. Changing filters regularly and scheduling annual cleanings are the two simplest things you can do to protect the equipment.
What is involved in switching from a gas furnace to a heat pump?
Heat pump electrification replaces a gas furnace and a separate central AC with a single heat pump system that handles both heating and cooling. We handle the HVAC equipment side: sizing the right system for your home's layout and load, selecting the equipment, and completing the installation. The Sacramento County climate is a good fit for heat pumps because winters are mild enough that a heat pump handles the heating load well in most cases.
Work Performed by Qualified HVAC Technicians
Every job, whether a routine tune-up or a full system installation, is handled by experienced technicians who respect your home and treat your equipment the way we would our own.
Do I need to be home when the technician arrives?
Yes. Someone should be present so we can access the indoor unit, the furnace or air handler, and the outdoor equipment. It also helps to have someone available to describe what the system has been doing so the technician can focus the diagnosis efficiently and get to the root of the problem faster.
How does emergency HVAC service work?
When you call for an emergency, we dispatch a technician, diagnose the problem on-site, and work to get the system running as quickly as possible. We are available for after-hours and weekend calls for urgent no-heat and no-cool situations. We let you know what to expect before any work begins, including what the repair involves and what it will cost.
How can I improve the air quality in my home during wildfire season?
Upgrading your system's filtration is the most direct step. A standard MERV-8 filter does not capture fine smoke particles effectively. We upgrade existing systems to MERV-13 or higher filtration and install whole-home air purifiers and air scrubbers that work with your current HVAC equipment. It is a practical improvement that makes a real difference when smoke settles into the Sacramento area.
