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?

I called on a Monday morning as air conditioning was blowing warm air. They were able to come to my house very early afternoon and fixed the problem. Would highly recommend and will use them again.
Response from the owner: Becky thank you so much for your great review. We appreciate your business and your kind words.
This company is so responsive to me that I love them. They respond immediately and I trust them. It always cost me, but that is the nature of the beast. I haven’t been steered wrong yet. They are genuinely nice to work with and honest. I use their maintenance program as well. Highly recommend.

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.

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!

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.

Thomas came to the rescue when our AC went out when it was 100 degrees out! He arrived a few hours after placing an after hours call and quickly diagnosed the problem. He had our AC unit back up and running within an hour so my family could sleep in a cool house. I highly recommend Thomas Hoffmann for anyone needing AC services!

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.
