Determining when to get your furnace serviced is crucial for maintaining a comfortable home. Fall is typically the best time for a check-up, ensuring your furnace functions flawlessly throughout winter.

Many homeowners forget to have their furnaces serviced and go through the winter with no issues. However, if you begin having problems with your heater, you’ll have wished you called the service tech out in the fall. That’s because fall is the best time to have your furnace checked. It will ensure that you make it through the winter with no heating issues.

They were timely, polite, professional and they saved us from too much sweating. In a field full of pompous and arrogant technicians, these guys take the time to explain what is wrong and how they are correcting it. Other folks just assume you are incompetent but these folks take the time to educate. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I’ve been using “THOMAS Hoffmann Airconditioning and Heating” for years now. We have a 30 +\- year old system that works perfectly for us. Although we’ve not had to use it yet, it is comforting to know they offer a 24 hour on call service. I really appreciate that the technicians don’t try to upsell us on anything. They’re a very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous, local-family owned and operated business. I’ve also found their pricing to be very fair and by”fair” I don’t mean “cheap” but reasonable… especially for the quality of service provided by THOMAS Hoffmann HVAC. I love supporting smaller family owned business and this one is top-notch! Thank you guys!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your continued support and kind words, Mari! We truly appreciate your loyalty and are glad to hear about your positive experiences with our services. We look forward to continuing to provide you with top-notch service in the future.

Just had our annual service on our A/C. The technician, Giovanni, was very professional, friendly, thorough and spent time explaining what all he did and what his findings were. Couldn't be happier. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THOMAS HOFFMAN AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING.
Response from the owner:Terry, we're so grateful for your kind words and for recommending us! We're thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with our technician during your annual furnace service. Thank you for choosing Thomas Hoffman Air Conditioning and Heating!
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
Response from the owner:Albert thanks so much for your kind reviews and your business. We truly appreciate it!!!
I made another service call years after my last review. Once again, Tom did not disappoint. He identified the cause of my newly purchased system installed by another HVAC company. He explained it so simple and easy to understand without the technical jargons. I just wished I had purchased the new equipment from Tom instead of saving a few hundred dollars from his competition.
Response from the owner:Thank you, J, for your kind words! We're glad to hear that Tom was able to assist you so effectively and make everything easy to understand. We appreciate your continued trust in our services and hope to help you again in the future!
I've used these guys twice now and their response time is great, they are friendly, informative, and most importantly, effective. I'm calling these folks every time my furnace sounds weird.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful feedback, Greg! We're glad to hear that you've had such positive experiences with our team. Providing timely and effective service is our priority, and we're here whenever you need us. Looking forward to assisting you again!
Nick fixed my furnace today, excellent service, very personable and quick service on the coldest day of the year. Thank you!!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Randy, for the fantastic 5-star rating; we appreciate your support!
The Importance of Regular Furnace Service: When and Why.
When left unserviced, it can suddenly stop working and leave you and your family in the cold. In addition, it can be a health hazard. Furnace maintenance can reveal a carbon monoxide leak. This potentially deadly problem can be detected before the situation becomes serious.
Carbon monoxide exposure can lead to headaches, nausea, dizziness, and death. An estimated 500 individuals die each year, and another 15,000 are hospitalized from exposure to carbon monoxide.
Poor furnace maintenance can also cause your energy bills to rise as it will run less efficiently and work harder to heat your home.
What Is Involved In Furnace Maintenance?
Your furnace can’t fulfill the manufacturer’s promises without professional service. If your heater needs to be serviced, repaired, or replaced, our certified and licensed technicians at Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating will ensure that your heating system is running in peak condition, resulting in a more satisfying comfort level and at lower monthly costs.
When you schedule a service call, one of our HVAC technicians will perform the following:
- Inspection of the condensation drain for any obstructions
- Inspection of electrical connections
- Test voltage system components to prevent future failures
- Lubricate any moving parts
- Check thermometer settings
After our technician has inspected your furnace, we’ll recommend a few things that you can do to keep it running smoothly. One of the most important things is to change your air filter at least every 3 months. When the filters are congested, it puts a strain on your system and affects your indoor air quality.
