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!

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!!!

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!

I lost my AC overnight. I called at 8 and Nick got here at 12:30. He took his shoes off before he came in, which rarely happens with contractors. He diagnosed the problem in no time and was out the door in less than an hour. He also put back together the closet where access to the attic and furnace is. Couldn't be happier.
Response from the owner:We appreciate your recognition of our dedication to finding the root cause of the issue rather than opting for a quick fix. Thank you for acknowledging our efforts!

Common Questions

Kirkwood HVAC Questions, Answered

How fast can you get to a home in Kirkwood?

Our shop is in Des Peres, which borders Kirkwood — so response times here are typically among the fastest in our service area. 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 older and historic Kirkwood homes?

Yes, and it’s some of our favorite work. Many homes near downtown Kirkwood are 75 to 100+ years old, with boilers, retrofitted ductwork, plaster walls, and additions that each heat and cool differently. A Master HVAC Engineer leads our team, so we size and design solutions around the house instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all system into it.

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.

Do you offer emergency HVAC service in Kirkwood?

Yes. We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including holidays. A real St. Louis dispatcher picks up the phone and gets a technician moving as fast as possible.

What areas near Kirkwood do you serve?

We serve Kirkwood and the surrounding communities including Des Peres, Webster Groves, Glendale, Warson Woods, Oakland, Crestwood, Sunset Hills, and the greater St. Louis metro area.
