I can’t say enough wonderful things about Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning and Heating! Nick came promptly, which was such a relief, and from the very beginning, he was personable, professional, and incredibly honest. After dealing with other companies, Nick’s honesty really stood out. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and make sure I understood what was going on—without any pressure or unnecessary recommendations. It was refreshing to feel like I was dealing with someone who genuinely cared about doing the right thing for the customer. Nick’s professionalism, knowledge, and customer service were truly top-notch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning and Heating to anyone looking for a heating and cooling company you can actually trust!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5-star rating, Lori!

The service was excellent! When we arrived home after 8 pm, seen our unit was not working and it was almost 85 degrees in our home my husband began calling all of the companies that said they were 24 hrs. Thomas Hoffman heating and cooling was the only company that honored the statement. Nick was at our home in a very timely manor and was also able to fix our unit quickly! I would highly recommend to anyone needing any hvac services!

I was distraught to find out our 20 year old HVAC needed to be replaced. Hoffman was beyond empathetic and took care of me within 24 hours during the heat wave. They were on time and very efficient. I have to have trust worthy people work on our house and be in our cocoon, therefore Hoffman has always been our contractor and always will be! They have become family;) I refer all of my clients to them!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Katie! We're so glad to hear that you felt supported during a tough time. Your trust means the world to us, and it's wonderful to know that we’ve become part of your family. We appreciate your referrals and look forward to continuing to serve you and your clients!

The repairman arrived at around 8:30 AM and spent about three hours working on the unit, which I purchased from them less than a year ago. At the end of three hours, he informed me that my unit was not working because I had the wrong filter in it. I raised a question about why it took three hours to replace the filter. I can't really explain his response because it was in technical jargon that I did not understand well enough to know what other questions to ask. The unit has a two year parts and labor warranty and a 10 year manufacturer parts warranty. unfortunately, I did not get the benefits of those warranties because, as the technician put it, the onus for using a less effective filter, rests with the customers. Then, he went on to describe to me the best filter choice, something the average customer would not automatically know. My greatest disappointment was being denied the benefits of my warranties. On the plus side, once management became aware of my dissatisfaction, they reached out to me with an apology for any role they played in my dissatisfaction and, as a show of their good intentions, they shredded my check, subsequently, not charging me for their service. This response showed a genuine commitment to quality and efficient service, as well as a commitment to customer satisfaction. Consequently, I highly recommend Hoffmann Air Conditioning services.
Response from the owner:Thank you, James, for your 5-star rating; we truly appreciate your support!

Technician, Giovanni Leone, did such a great job in fixing our AC on a Saturday morning when the Temp is supposed to get up to 100 degrees, later today! I felt like we were in excellent hands and he explained everything he was going to do and then explained in even greater detail once everything was done! I told him if he ever wants to go into sales, he should! He has great personable skills! We have used Thomas Hoffmann before for our heating and cooling needs and they are always professional and trustworthy! My only mistake was not having them to come out to check our AC in the past 3 years!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Bill! We're so glad to hear about your positive experience with Giovanni. It's great to know that you felt well taken care of and appreciated his thorough explanations. We truly value your trust in us for your heating and cooling needs, and we look forward to serving you again in the future!

Common Questions

Frontenac HVAC Questions, Answered

How fast can you get to a home in Frontenac?

Our shop is in Des Peres, just minutes from Frontenac. We answer calls 24/7 — for urgent heating or cooling failures, call (314) 471-7625 and we’ll dispatch a technician as quickly as possible.

Do you work on larger custom homes?

Yes. Many Frontenac homes have multiple zones, multiple systems, or higher-end equipment, and sizing matters more as square footage grows. A Master HVAC Engineer leads our team, so complex layouts and multi-system homes are diagnosed and sized correctly the first time.

Do you service commercial spaces in Frontenac?

Yes. We service commercial HVAC systems for businesses in Frontenac, including offices and retail along the Lindbergh Boulevard corridor, and can schedule work around your business hours whenever possible.

Do you service all HVAC brands?

Yes. We repair and maintain all major brands including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and more. As an authorized Trane dealer, we also offer new Trane installations with full manufacturer support.

Should I repair or replace my system?

We’ll give you an honest answer based on the age of your system, the cost of the repair, and its efficiency. A general rule: if the repair costs more than half the price of a new system and the unit is over 10 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense.

What areas near Frontenac do you serve?

We serve Frontenac and the surrounding communities including Ladue, Huntleigh, Town and Country, Des Peres, Creve Coeur, Kirkwood, and the greater St. Louis metro area.
