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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

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.

Here are four signs to look out for when regularly evaluating your air conditioning system. They will help you identify a mold problem early and solve it before it damages your health, home, or HVAC system.
Strange Smell in the House
The first sign usually noticed during a mold infestation is a strange, musky smell in the house, especially when the AC is on. The smell might be felt in the whole house or only in adjacent rooms that may get less sunlight or lack proper air circulation. The smell is similar to mildew smell, and you might become used to it over time. Ask someone who is visiting you if they notice a moldy smell when they enter your home. If you suspect something, call a professional AC service and have them check the inside of the vents.
Mold Spots or Black Dust around the Duct Openings
If you start noticing mold spots and mold dust, your problem already got much bigger. Usually, the infestation is quite advanced if you actually see the mold at the duct openings, ceilings, or walls. Mold looks differently, depending on the species infesting your house. It can look like a white, fluffy deposit or green-blue spots. Black mold, one of the most dangerous kinds, looks like black dust covering your duct grids, and you might mistake it for regular dust.
Allergy-like Symptoms
A mold infestation usually comes with health symptoms that are similar to respiratory allergies. You will get a runny nose, watery eyes, coughing, and sneezing, etc. If these symptoms disappear as soon as you leave the house or you stop using the air conditioner, it’s a sign that you might deal with mold.
Headaches, Breathing Problems
Some of the worst symptoms you can get from mold growing in your air conditioning system are headaches, dizziness, breathing problems, and other more serious signs. For people with certain conditions, such as asthma, these respiratory problems can be exacerbated and degenerate in an emergency.
If you notice one or more of these signs, seriously consider a mold infestation and investigate further. Calling an AC service is the best way to deal with such a problem because DIY solutions may not be safe or as effective as specialists. In addition, if you want to prevent such problems, then it would be wise to schedule maintenance visits at least once a year.
