The best time to do preventive check-ups of your HVAC system is Spring and Autumn.
Most households nowadays are relying heavily on HVAC systems to go comfortably through the heat of the summer and chilly autumn nights. New models allow homeowners to control the parameters of the cooling, heating and ventilating in each room of the house, scheduling their systems or operating them remotely through an Internet connection.
Whether your HVAC system is brand new or it has a few years of activity behind, it should be regularly maintained by a professional HVAC expert. The manufacturer of your unit usually specifies how frequent maintenance should be, but for a unit to work efficiently, twice a year is generally the ideal frequency for check-ups.
My a/c was not working correctly and I knew it needed to be serviced. The person came and cleaned what needed to be cleaned and he did what he could for the output. He was very professional and nice. We will definitely call them for our future needs.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the positive feedback! We're glad to hear that you were pleased with our prompt and friendly service. We look forward to assisting you again in the future!
Nick arrived to repair our ac earlier than expected. He quickly diagnosed and made the necessary repairs. The cost was reasonable. We will definitely contact Thomas Hoffmann for hvac services in the future..
Response from the owner:Thank you, Michael! We're glad to hear Nick provided prompt and efficient service, and we appreciate your trust in Thomas Hoffmann for your future HVAC needs.
We have used Thomas Hoffman Air Conditioning and Heating for AC issues for the last two years. We have been so happy with the service we have received both times. This year, we just needed a little maintenance as our unit wasn’t working to its full potential. I called first thing in the morning and was able to get a same day appointment! Nick was so personable and knowledgeable, and he got us back up and running and no time. Thank you again for saving us from the summer heat!! We are so grateful for the amazing customer service you guys provide!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Teri, for your kind words and for trusting us with your AC needs over the past two years; we're glad Nick could help get your unit back to its best, and we truly appreciate your gratitude for our service!
I highly recommend Thomas Hoffmann for anything involving HVAC. The person replacing my furnace, Britton Buehrig, was Professional and took pride in his work. The job was very cleanly done.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Ray, for your kind words and recommendation! We're glad to hear that you were provided with professional service and a clean installation. Your satisfaction means a lot to us.
I txt Thomas Hoffman air-conditioning and heating Sunday early evening about 6:30 and just left A detailed message of what was going on with my AC I received an automated reply, saying they would contact me soon. I heard from them the next Morning at 11 AM to confirm what was going on with my unit and said they would have a Tech out today still but would be the last call between 6 and 8pm. I expected to get an appointment 2 to 3 days later. We’re in the middle of about an 8 to 10 day Heat wave of Mid to upper 90s. So imagine my surprise when I received a call from Zachary at 3:20 telling me he was in Saint Charles and was on his way to my house to look at the unit. When I explained what was wrong on the phone, he was pretty confident. He knew what it was once he got here, pulled off the cover and sure enough it was the capacitor. Pull the old one off and install the new one turned it back on and boom I have cold air blowing. I would highly recommend Thomas Hoffman, AC and heating and if you can request a certain Tech Zachary is your guy he is great super Frndly got the job done quickly and even interacted with my dogs Who are super friendly
Response from the owner:Thank you, Vicki, for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear that Zachary was able to resolve your AC issue quickly and that he made a positive impression on both you and your dogs. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you again!
We can’t say how happy we are with the quick and efficient service! We came home Friday evening after work on a 95 degree day (with a week of 90 degree weather ahead) and our A/C was totally out. We called this small business owner around 6pm and he was here by 7:25. He replaced our wires, had cool air running, gave us some helpful tips for the future, and was already out the door by 7:50. He was very polite, friendly, straightforward, and saved our evening/weekend!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Morgan, for your wonderful feedback! We're glad our team could provide quick and efficient service to keep you comfortable during the heat. Your satisfaction means a lot to us!

We recently moved into an older home and had an issue with the AC not working. We called and were offered a same-day appointment. Nick was fantastic—very knowledgeable and professional.

Autumn HVAC Check-Up
The best time to do preventive check-ups of your HVAC system isSpring and Autumn. That’s because the unit will perform two entirely different tasks in between. After running intensively for the whole summer, it’s wisest to get a team to look at your exterior and interior units, the duct system, the pipes, etc. Making sure everything works properly for the winter is part of preventive maintenance, and it prolongs the life-span of any system you have.
Preventing Bigger Issues
Identifying potential problems or issues in their incipient phase can save you a lot of time, money and comfort in the long-term. This type of approach allows you to spot cracks, leaks, weakened connections, damaging factors and other things that would become worse if ignored.
Cleaning Up Summer’s Dirt
It is also a good opportunity to clean the system, the filters and ducts, as well as groom the area around the exterior unit. All of these steps will ensure a smooth start for the winter.
Changing the Thermostat Settings
For many users, setting up the thermostat is an annoying task. Use the autumn check-up as a chance of asking the maintenance team to do it for you. This way, you will make sure everything is indeed programmed the way you want. If you have any doubts on how to program and schedule your thermostat, ask your HVAC expert for help.
Schedule Future Maintenance and Getting Good Deals
An advantage of getting your HVAC unit checked preventively is becoming a loyal customer of your HVAC service company. A lot of companies offer discounts if you schedule your maintenance with them regularly. Saving a few bucks on the service, on top of the money you would spend on more serious problems, is not to be ignored. Also, you can talk to the experts about how you can choose a more effective energy plan, saving even more.
Now that summer has ended, the information above should convince you to pick up the phone and call your HVAC service team for an autumn check-up. That way, you can prolong your system’s life and fix any potential issues before they cause costly problems. Give us a call 24/7 (314) 471-7625!
