My neighbor referred these guys to me when had water heater problem. Previous company told me I needed to replace it. Tom’s technician fixed it for less than $200. This was over 2 years ago and have been using their service ever since. They are very trustworthy.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Mary, for sharing your experience and for trusting us with your water heater issue; we're glad our technician could help and that you've continued to rely on our services!
Nick Hoffman was amazing! He came out same day when our heat suddenly went out. He took the time to describe the problem and expertly fixed and tested it! Will definitely be recommending them. Thanks.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Matt! We're so glad to hear about your positive experience with Nick and that he was able to help you promptly. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
Job well done. The technician was competent and polite and knowledgeable. We'll have him back in the spring, honest company.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Laurel, for your kind words about our technician's competence and knowledge; we look forward to serving you again in the spring!
Realized my furnace stopped working late last night and forecast called for very cold arctic air blast. Called my regular HVAC company that advertises 24 hour service to find that after 7 PM, there is only an answering service. Same with two more “24 hour service” companies. Then I called Thomas Hoffmann HVAC Company and Nick quickly answered, listened to my issue, gave me a quote and was on his way. Nick arrived soon, completely checked out my furnace, found the problem and did the repair. Because the problem was fairly minor, he even gave me an unexpected and very appreciated discount. Nick was professional, competent, and very engaging. Best emergency, after-hours experience I’ve ever had. Nick saved the day and gave me the peace of mind I needed.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Richard, for sharing your experience; we're glad Nick could provide you with prompt and professional service during such a challenging time. Your kind words mean a lot to us!

I was referred via home advisors. And I was so worried about the cost and the distance but Nick came and found my problem and fixed my problem and if I could I would shout-out to the world this is a honest and good company to hire. As a landlord over the road of 5 homes. I can call this company and trust that they will do the job and be honest. And I will not have to pay extra fees or be given a 3 week appointment Just because it's rental property. This is my go to company and I strongly recommend this company.
Response from the owner: Thank you, Annie, for your wonderful feedback! We're so glad to hear that Nick was able to address your concerns and provide you with the honest service you deserve. Your trust means the world to us, and we appreciate your strong recommendation!

I called on December 25th at midnight and started leaving a message and Thomas Hoffman the owner called me back almost immediately. He said he would come out the next morning between 8:00 and 10:00 am snd he was promptly on time. He fixed my problem and while he was there I decided to get an estimate for a new furnace and air conditioning unit. The price was very reasonable and the installers one of them being his son were both very professional very courteous, polite, arrived on time and finished the same day. I enjoy knowing that I now have the support of Thomas Hoffman heating and air conditioning along with the peace of mind that comes with owning a Trane. Nothing stops a Trane.Albert Koesterer

Do you ever feel like the air in your home is not making you comfortable enough, although you carefully control the temperature all the time through the HVAC system? If you notice that your skin tends to get very dry in the winter and hot days are almost insufferable during the summer, you might have a problem with dry air.
Many households have an air humidity level that is too low, leading to various issues. Ideally, you would have a 40-60% moisture level in the air. Using a humidifier to keep this level consistent will improve your health, protect your house, and help you spend less money.
Health Benefits
Having an air humidifier installed in your home brings numerous health benefits. You will immediately start seeing improvements in various breathing and skin problems. Here are some examples:
Improves Allergy Symptoms
Dry air feels exceptionally uncomfortable for people with allergies. It leads to difficulty breathing, itchy nose and skin, coughing, dry skin and throat, etc. Humid air alleviates allergy symptoms and complements your treatment, helping you feel better again.
Alleviates Cough Symptoms
A humidifier can be bliss when you have a cough. It improves the air quality and helps your throat by keeping your airways moist.
Helps You Breathe Easier
Raising the humidity in your home can also dramatically improve a stuffy nose. Increase the air humidity levels to 60-70%, and you will immediately see the difference. This change will also help you and your children sleep better.
Prevents Dry and Cracked Skin
If you’ve been dealing with dry skin, cracked heels, elbows, and lips and feel like you constantly need to apply lotion, the air in your home may be to blame. A humidifier will relieve the dry skin symptoms and keep you better hydrated and more comfortable.
Protecting Your House and Belongings
Dry air doesn’t only affect your health and comfort level, but it can damage your property as well. If the air humidity drops below 30-40%, your wood items and structure can suffer.
By constantly pumping heat in your home and not checking the air humidity levels with a hygrometer, you are drawing moisture out of your furniture, wood panels, and floors. Dry wood may crack easily, leading to expensive repairs and replacements.
Static electricity is another sign that the moisture levels in your house are much too low. Check the air humidity level if you receive a shock each time you handle your linens or try to put a sweater on.
Saving Money
An air humidifier will help you save money, too. Humid heat feels hotter than dry heat thanks to the water particles carrying the energy. Therefore, you won’t have to turn the heat up so much when your house has optimal moisture levels.
Adding a humidifier to your HVAC system is the best way to enjoy these benefits without worrying too much about maintaining it and constantly moving it from one room to another. Call Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating LLC today at (314) 471-7625 to learn more!
