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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

HVAC systems rank among the most common culprits of an awful-smelling home. Anything from dirty air filters to a refrigerant leak can cause your HVAC to smell. Either way, those smells can be potentially hazardous to your health. Below, we take a look at some common odors that can come out of your HVAC system and their impact on your health.
Moldy or Mildew Smell
When the HVAC condensate line is not drained correctly, it causes mold and mildew to grow, resulting in a musty or moldy-smelling home. This smell poses no real danger to your system, but it can harm your health. In addition, breathing in mold can cause or expedite respiratory issues in adults and children. Contact our Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating immediately if you notice this smell.
Freon Gas Smell
Freon is a gas used to extract heat from the air, making the air from the HVAC feel cool. Unfortunately, Freon gas is toxic and can be pretty dangerous when inhaled. This gas usually has a sweet, fragrant scent and smells like the coolant in your car.
If you suspect a Freon leak, get in touch with your HVAC repair expert to locate and fix the leak.
Burning Smell
A burning odor from an HVAC unit is usually a sign of a faulty compressor, electrical wiring, or fan. These parts of the HVAC system are manufactured from an array of metals and chemicals. Therefore, exposure to such smells is potentially harmful to your health.
Contact a professional HVAC technician to check out the problem. Attempting to repair this on your own can result in severe burns and injuries.
Sulfur or Rotten Eggs Smell
If you smell rotten eggs or Sulfur from your HVAC unit, the most likely suspect is a natural gas leak. This odor is typically added to HVAC gases to alert people in case of a leak.
Suppose you smell Sulfur or rotten eggs in your home, open all the windows and vacate your house. Once you’re outside, call an experienced HVAC pro right away. High exposure to natural gas leaks reduces the oxygen levels in the blood, leading to unconsciousness and, in extreme cases, death.
Exhaust Smell
When fluids leak from the different components of your HVAC unit, exhaust fumes are released. The exhaust fumes then release vast amounts of dangerous chemicals and toxins into the air. Inhaling these toxins and chemicals can lead to severe respiratory problems. If you detect an exhaust odor, contact an HVAC technician to assess and fix the problem ASAP.
