Got a quote over the phone. Everything was explained thoroughly. Dakota, my technician arrived and on time, was very professional and knowledgeable. He didn’t try to upsell or change anything. He did a great job. We can already tell the difference since the ducts and vents were cleaned. Would recommend an use Hoffman again in the future.

The technician Giovanni was excellent and on time very professional and efficient and knowledgeable of the project at hand ,gave great advice but most of all did great work 👏 thank you .
Response from the owner:We are so happy to hear you had a great experience, Sam! Thank you for the review, and thank you for your business.
Your service technician was very professional and knowledgeable. And did not appear to try to give me bogus information. I truly appreciate his honesty because several other companies did not appear to be honest, obviously wasn’t honest, my gut feeling told me they were not honest and tried to get me to spend $10,000 for a problem that was much simpler to fix. I look forward to you servicing all my properties, and possibly those of the rest of my family.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words and great review! We appreciate your support.
Very prompt, communication was great, and the workers were very polite. I highly recommend them!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Lianne! We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience with our team and appreciate your high recommendation.

The service tech Giovanni did a fantastic job. Our gas fireplace is working like new again so we’re ready for the cold weather!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Mr, for your fantastic review! We're glad to hear Giovanni provided you with excellent service and professionalism. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would.
Last night our furnace went out unexpectedly, and with three kids in the house, the temperature dropped fast. Giovanni went above and beyond in every way possible. Instead of charging me a late-night service fee, he simply asked, “Are you decently handy?” and offered to walk me through some troubleshooting steps to get our heat back on so my children wouldn’t have to sleep in the cold.
Not only did he guide me through the process, he even FaceTimed me and showed me exactly what to take apart, how to put it back together, and what signals to watch for. It felt like having a real technician standing right next to me the entire time. Thanks to him, our heat was restored within minutes.
In a world where true customer service is hard to come by, Giovanni is a rare find. It is a guaranteed fact that any future repairs, maintenance, and the new heater/AC system we’ll be needing this coming summer/fall will absolutely be done through him. His honesty, kindness, and expertise have earned our business for life.
Highly, highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Jeff, for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear Giovanni was able to help you and your family during that tough situation. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we appreciate your trust in our services for the future!
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!
I called this company earlier today because I was having a bunch of issues with my HVAC system. They were incredibly friendly and walked me through troubleshooting step by step over the phone. They didn’t even charge me for the call. Thanks to their honest advice, I was able to get things running smoothly again. Really grateful for their help and would definitely recommend them if you want straightforward and trustworthy service. Five stars all the way!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the glowing review, Hector! We appreciate your business and look forward to working with you in the future.

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!
