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.Albert Koesterer

Giovanni was good…. This is reason we ask for him
Response from the owner: Thanks so much!
Zac and Giovanni are always extremely polite, considerate and professional. We are thrilled to have the new A/C unit. Our unit was 18 years old and stopped working in the thick of 100 degree weather. Tom (the owner) came over within an hour (after hours) and bought us time by changing out some parts until we could have the new one installed. We’re very happy with Thomas Hoffmann A/C and Heating!
Response from the owner: Katie, we're delighted that Zac, Giovanni, and Tom were able to assist you promptly and effectively during the heatwave. Thank you for choosing Thomas Hoffmann A/C and Heating!
Honest takes his time to listen and help you without charging Arm and a leg
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words, Carrie! We truly appreciate your feedback.
Couldn't be happier with our experience. Our AC stopped working after typical hours and they were the only "24/7" HVAC service who was able to come out same day. Not only were they fast, but they identified and fixed the problem immediately and did some preventative maintenance (and showed me how to do it) to prevent it from happening again. Will absolutely use them again in the future.
Response from the owner: We're so glad to hear about your positive experience, Hannah White! Thank you for choosing us and we look forward to helping you again in the future.
Great service! Prompt, polite and got the job done quickly.
Response from the owner: We're so happy to hear that you had a great experience with us! Thank you for your kind words.
Thomas Hoffman personally quoted the job at a fair price and they did a quality install! I would highly recommend them!
Response from the owner: Thank you for recommending us, Joe! We appreciate your feedback and are glad you were satisfied with our service!
Came same day and fixed the problem.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your feedback! Glad we could help you out the same day.
Caught in a bind one evening (no AC), I called for an appointment to get mine repaired. They came out the next morning, one half hour early! Within 30 minutes we back up and running!! Thank you, Thomas Hoffman. You are my guys!
Response from the owner: Thank you for choosing us, Sue! We're glad we could help you out quickly and get your AC up and running smoothly again! Thomas Hoffman and the team appreciate your kind words!
Blower went out on a Sunday. They answered my call, got me in, replaced blower, very easy!
Response from the owner: We're so glad we could assist you with your blower on a Sunday! Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Thomas is amazing and came over in only a couple hours and fixed my ac! True life saver 🙏🏼
Response from the owner: Thank you for sharing your experience with Thomas! We're glad to hear he was able to help you out quickly and efficiently. 👍
Fantastic experience! Our AC went out on a scorching Saturday evening. I wasn’t actually expecting anybody to get out that night, but when calling - I immediately got an answer, was on the schedule in 5 minutes, and Thomas showed up an hour later. He was honest, professional, and educational. Most importantly, I didn’t feel like he was cutting corners or trying to get in and out… a welcome contrast from most services these days. 6 stars out of 5, highly recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you for sharing your experience, Andrew! We're so glad to hear that Thomas provided such honest and professional service for your AC needs. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you again in the future.
What is a SEER Rating?
SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, measures how efficiently an air conditioning system operates over an entire cooling season. The rating is calculated by dividing the total cooling output of the system during a typical cooling season by the total electric energy input during the same period. In simpler terms, the SEER rating indicates how effectively the system converts electricity into cooling output.
Significance of a SEER Rating
- Energy Efficiency: The primary benefit of a high SEER-rated HVAC system is improved energy efficiency. Systems with higher SEER ratings consume less electricity to produce the same amount of cooling compared to lower-rated systems. This translates to lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact.
- Cost Savings: While higher SEER-rated systems may have a higher upfront cost, the long-term savings on energy bills often outweigh the initial investment. Over the system’s lifespan, the energy savings can result in significant cost reductions, making it a wise financial decision.
- Environmental Impact: Energy-efficient HVAC systems with higher SEER ratings contribute to a smaller carbon footprint. By using less electricity, these systems help reduce the overall demand for energy and decrease greenhouse gas emissions, promoting a more sustainable and environmentally friendly home.
- Home Comfort: A higher SEER rating indicates better performance and more consistent cooling. This means your home will stay comfortable even during extreme temperatures, and the system will operate more effectively in maintaining a consistent indoor climate.
- Government Incentives: In some regions, governments offer incentives or rebates for installing energy-efficient HVAC systems with high SEER ratings. Taking advantage of these programs can further offset the initial cost and increase the overall value of your investment.
The SEER rating of your HVAC system plays a pivotal role in determining its efficiency, energy consumption, and overall performance. Investing in a system with a higher SEER rating enhances your home’s comfort and contributes to cost savings and environmental sustainability.
