With increasing utility prices, energy efficiency is at the top of every homeowner’s mind. Would a home energy audit be helpful for you?
Apart from flaring energy bills, there are several other problems that can be a result of poor energy efficiency, and homeowners might not even realize it. If we break down a residential energy bill, the largest contribution is made by the home HVAC system. So, any effort to improve energy efficiency and bring down the energy bill should start with looking into the cost of heating and cooling your home. A good way to discover where and how your home is wasting energy is by way of an energy audit.
Extremely thorough and educational. They do a wonderful job of explaining everything and making sure I was comfortable knowing how the systems worked in my house!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review, Matthew! We appreciate your support.
I noticed a strange noise that I was concerned was linked to my furnace. I called Thomas Hoffman Heating & Cooling and Nick came right out. He was very thorough checking all components. Thankfully all checked out for us this visit. Definitely recommend Thomas Hoffman Heating & Cooling!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review, Abby! We appreciate your business and look forward to servicing you in the future.

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.
Response from the owner:Happy to hear you had a pleasant experience using Thomas Hoffmann!
The technician, Ryan, was knowledgeable and helpful in identifying the issue with our mini split AC unit. They are the second company we called after issues with the first and will be using Hoffmann again.
Response from the owner:We are so happy to hear your experience with Thomas Hoffmann was pleasant. Thank you for your kind review, & we look forward to working with you 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.
Water heater repaired, appointment done the same day, effective, courteous
Response from the owner:Thank you, Leticia! We appreciate your kind words and are glad to hear that the water heater was repaired promptly and effectively. Your satisfaction means a lot to us!
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.
Nick did not set current time. — Monday Hoffmans Zach came to fix correct time. We DID NOT want a timed thermostat — we prefer to set temperatures manually

A home performance energy audit can be described as a comprehensive approach to identifying the main sources in your home that are making it energy inefficient, uncomfortable, and unhealthy. In other words, an energy audit helps identify the primary components that are adversely affecting the performance, comfort, and energy efficiency of your home. An energy audit is advisable for homes that are experiencing any of the following:
High energy bills
Heating & cooling systems run constantly to maintain comfort level
Drafty rooms
Moisture on the windows
Significant temperature differences between rooms
Inability to maintain consistent temperature
Excessive dust
Cold floors in winter
Dry indoor air in winter
Peeling exterior paint
These are tell-tale signs that your home might be using energy inefficiently, and an energy audit might be necessary to identify problem areas. After conducting the audit, Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating LLC can recommend solutions to address any problems. An energy audit will help identify the most effective upgrades and home improvements that will offer several benefits.
Increased Energy Efficiency and Lower Energy Bills
An energy audit is conducted using specialized skills and tools and can help identify cost-effective measures to bring down the energy consumption in your home and, in turn, the energy bill.
Increased Home Value
Energy-efficient homes are much easier to sell and fetch higher prices in the market.
Better Comfort
Air leakage not only increases energy consumption but can also make your home environment unhealthy and uncomfortable. By sealing all leakages your home will become a lot more comfortable.
Protect the Environment
It helps decrease your carbon footprint.
Better Indoor Air Quality
By sealing all leakages, you can keep dust and other contaminants out and improve the indoor air quality considerably.
Identify Hidden Problems
There might be some hidden problems in your home, such as inadequate ventilation, which come to the fore during an energy audit.
A home energy audit is certainly a wise investment, as it pays for itself quickly in terms of lower energy bills, better home value, and improved comfort. Schedule an appointment with Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating LLC at (314) 471-7625 to conduct an energy audit of your home, and identify home improvements that will improve energy efficiency and add value to your home.
