The old myth about a draft or cold air giving you a cold or flu is not based on scientific facts. Airborne viruses cause flu and colds. Coming in contact with the virus is the only way you will catch the disease.
But what if you notice that you are getting headaches when the AC is on? Is there a connection between the two?
Giovanni was very professional, helpful, patient and helped me figure out the issue, if it was covered under warranty, and next steps. Great overall experience and much appreciated.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Amy! We're glad to hear that Giovanni provided you with such professional and helpful service. Your appreciation means a lot to us!
Always professional and thorough whenever they service our home. We have used Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating multiple times since we moved into our home and will continue to use them in the future.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful review, Joe. We appreciate you and your business!
0 stars if I could. Bought a faulty (not to mention overpriced) surface igniter, called back five minutes later after installing, of course they didn’t stand behind their part. Go to Grainger instead. Same (working) part, half the price.
Response from the owner:Hi there. I am unable to locate your customer profile. Please give our office a call at 314-471-7625 so we can get this figured out for you.
From the phone to the completion of the job everyone is so polite and informative. I had Giovani as our representative and he was very informative and professional, and knew exactly what the problem was. Thanks so much.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review, Frank! We appreciate you and your business.
My furnace was not working. A very nice gentleman came out this morning and fixed the problem and now I have much needed heat. He was very professional and courteous. I will definitely be using them again when the need arises.
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!
I will always call Hoffmans for my air and heat needs. They were out to my daughters house that day and fixed it. It was right before the weekend storm with below zero temps the next day. They saved my daughter and grandbabies. I could never thank them more.
Response from the owner:We are so happy to hear that we could help! Thank you for the kind review.

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!

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, 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!
Why Your Air Conditioning Unit is Giving You a Headache
There are many possible reasons since headaches are symptoms of so many conditions. Here are some possible causes for headaches that are directly related to the use of air conditioning.
Dry air may dehydrate you enough to give you a headache – Dehydration causes many problems in the body, including headaches. If your air conditioning unit is making the indoor air too dry, you may notice headaches, skin rashes, itchiness, and other signs that your body needs some moisture. One way to check if this is indeed the reason you have AC-related headaches, get a hygrometer – an instrument that measures the relative humidity in the air. The comfort level is between 40-60%, so going lower than that may mean that you need to add some humidity to the room. Buy a humidifier and drink plenty of water to prevent this side effect.
The indoor air is too cold, giving you a brain freeze – “Brain freeze” is mainly associated with eating super cold foods like ice cream. When they touch the roof of your mouth, you may experience a throbbing headache that disappears quickly after. If the indoor air is too cold and you are breathing it through your mouth, it might actually give you a brain freeze. It is also not recommended to set the AC unit on a low level while you are in the house.
Your headache is caused by mold – Unlike the previous possible causes, mold is indeed dangerous to your health. If your headache is caused by mold in the air, it could be followed by other health problems, like asthma, allergies, or breathing difficulties. If your air conditioning unit does not remove enough moisture from the air, it might become a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. Again, a hygrometer will tell you if the moisture level is too high. If this is the case, you will want to have your indoor air quality checked by a professional HVAC company.
