The Local Difference

From Parkview to The Loop, U City Is Our Kind of Town.

University City’s housing runs the full range: century-old homes in Parkview and Ames Place, mid-century blocks near Heman Park, and everything in between. That mix means radiators and boilers next door to modern high-efficiency systems, and we work on all of it. This is a business Tom Hoffmann owns outright, not a franchise wearing a local name, so the person accountable for your job lives where you do.

Local

One Owner, One Name

Tom’s name is on the trucks and on the work. No parent company, no rebrand, no pass-the-buck.

30+

Years in St. Louis

Three decades of local systems, local weather, and local houses, including U City’s oldest.

We live in Dardenne Prairie, and want to thank Tom for his excellent work in assessing our A/C unit that stopped working over Labor Day weekend where the outdoor temps were 100+. Tom not only had the exact components on-hand but also offered other future solutions to make our home more comfortable. Very personable and professional! Thanks Tom!

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!

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!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Morgan! We're glad to hear that you had an excellent experience with our service. It's great to know that Nick was able to assist you promptly and effectively. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to helping you again in the future!

Good Questions

What U City Homeowners Ask Us

Do you offer emergency HVAC service in University City?

Yes, around the clock. If your heat or AC fails at any hour, including weekends and holidays, call (314) 471-7625. A dispatcher answers live and gets a technician moving as quickly as the schedule allows.

Do you work on boilers and radiators in U City’s older homes?

Yes. Neighborhoods like Parkview and Ames Place still have plenty of hot-water and steam systems, and we service them alongside modern forced-air equipment. If you’re weighing whether to keep a boiler or convert, we’ll lay out both paths honestly.

Which brands can you repair?

All the major ones: Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and most others you’ll find in a U City basement. For new installations we’re an authorized Trane dealer, which means factory support behind every system we put in.

What areas around University City do you cover?

All of U City plus the neighbors: Olivette, Clayton, Wellston, Overland, the Delmar Loop area, and the wider St. Louis metro.

My AC runs but the air isn’t cold. What’s going on?

Usually one of four things: refrigerant is low, the filter is clogged, a breaker tripped, or the compressor has failed. A filter or breaker you can check yourself; the rest needs a technician. Call us and we’ll pin it down on the first visit.

How long does it take to replace a furnace or AC?

Usually one day, start to finish. You’ll get the timeline before work begins, we keep the area clean, and the aim is always a running system before we pack up.

Comfort Problem in U City? Consider It Handled.

One call reaches a locally owned company with 30+ years of St. Louis HVAC experience and a dispatcher who picks up at any hour.
