We replaced our entire system (including ducting) and John did a fantastic job! He provided multiple options at different price ranges, provided suggestions for modifications that would increase the efficiency of the system, and made sure that the system would pass the city permit inspection. He and his crew were efficient, polite, and respectful of our home. We could not have asked for a better experience. We have been very happy with the results of the overhaul to the system. Our energy bills have gone down due to the system we selected and the house heats and cools evenly. The ducting was hung so that it provided maximum space and walk-ability to our attic space. It was a well thought-out design. You will not be disappointed if you decide to go with John.

John came over in a day and looked over my hvac system. He was able to diagnose my problem immediately and made minor adjustments to improve the air flow in my house. John was great- explained everything clearly, did not try to rip me off and was just very friendly and professional. Anytime I have any HVAC needs, John will be the first person I contact. I highly recommend his services.

I purchased a new home without AC! I was worried about getting a company that would be ethical, punctual and would actually listen to my concerns and were priced fairly. John of Home Comfort came out to do the install with his crew I found John to be patient and did due diligence to ensure the project was done in time before I started the remodel in my kitchen. I will continue to call Home Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc Thank you John great customer service!!!

The entire process went smoothly. I was able to get an appointment quickly and was made to feel 100% confident in the work recommended. (John went through every option available and explained the pros and cons with each) The level of expertise and professionalism that was shown with John and his company is what will have me return for any future issue and recommend them to everyone/anyone that is seeking an A/C and heating company. Thanks John!

John was (and always has been) reliable, responsive and competitively priced. We have used John's services for many years to perform semi- annual maintenance on our 3-zone a/c-heating system, and also whenever we had a problem with our systems (which are 24 yrs old). He has always been responsive, knowledgeable and professional. This job was no exception. I recommend him unequivocally. In addition, my husband commented on how pleased and impressed he was with the clean-up and neatness of the job when John and his employee, Ed, were finished. Please note that this review pertains toJohn Farrugia of Home Comfort, NOT Home Comfort USA! (They are completely different companies).

John was wonderful to work with, responsive and helpful in answering questions. I appreciate his non-pushy approach and friendly demeanor. The quality of his work is amazing, and everyone on his team was great. They arrived on time and completed the work within budget and one day early. John was always around to oversee the work being completed. I had a small issue with the thermostat after the installation completed, and John came back to fix it right away. It was a pleasure to work with Home Comfort and support a local business. I will definitely reuse for all my HVAC needs.

I called at 7 am and John said he'd be here by 10. And he showed up at 10. Punctuality is always a good sign. And we're in the middle of a record-setting heatwave. (I thought I'd have to wait days for service.) John is very knowledgeable and explained the situation with our current AC unit. WE may have to replace our system soon and I'd definitely consider using him as the contractor on the job.
Description of Work: Our central AC was not cooling very well. John performed some system tests. Based on that he added some refrigerant and that, for now, has taken care of the problem.

John is very professional, fair, and detail oriented. We received estimates from several companies. Home Comfort's estimate was competitively priced and extremely thorough. We knew just what to expect. John took the time to look for potential problems (slope of roof, tight fit in attic, scheduling, etc.) and was well prepared. I highly recommend choosing Home Comfort for all of your HVAC needs. We look forward to working with him whenever needed in the future.

Central a/c quit during a heatwave! Got the referral from AL for Home Comfort, called, and imagined I would get "I can be there in 2 weeks". Instead, they came in about an hour! Then, I'm thinking "the unit is shot - I'm going to have to replace it". Instead, they tell me "bad capacitor. About $150"! Then, I'm thinking "they'll have to order it and it'll be winter by the time it arrives because, you know, it's "back-ordered" or "they don't make your unit model anymore", etc. Instead, I get "I think I have one in the truck"! Whole thing took 20 minutes. They were professional, knowledgeable, courteous, honest, fair, prompt and quick - one of the better service experiences of my adult life.

John was prompt to respond to an email request for an emergency appt. He showed up on time and worked until he discovered the source of the problem. He gave us options to consider (repair or replace) and completed the work in a timely and efficient manner. He was courteous and clean and very considerate.

John came out to look at a severely dated air conditioner and furnace. How dated? It was recalled more than a decade ago for being a fire hazard. And the recall didn't happen for a decade after it was installed. He didn't laugh; he's apparently seen it all. He came up with a good plan to add some new ducts and returns to more evenly distribute air. He was happy to work with me to figure out the right size and efficiency system for this house. John and Ed came out on the scheduled day to do the replacement. They were on time, professionally attired, and worked tirelessly in a hot attic to get the job done on time. They finished on time, cleaned up after themselves perfectly, and installed what seems to be the exact right system. So far, so good: it chills with no thrills.
Description of Work: John replaced a really outdated air conditioner with a newer furnace, blower, and thermostat -- and added new ductwork to more evenly distribute the cool air through the house.

Awesome experience! We had gotten many estimates from the likes of home Sears, Lowes, and quite a few others. Then a friend of ours recommended Home Comfort. Home Comfort was priced about in the middle but came highly recommended so we decided to go with them. The installation went exactly as planned. We had the heat exchanger/AC duct work installed in the attic and and it was done in the estimated time and with the utmost care and cleanliness ( and it was during one of our heat waves ). John was awesome, a professional and a total pleasure to deal with. He had great ideas for efficiency and esthetic appeal. John was also very honest, selling us only what was most efficient and needed for the size of our home. We would definitely hire John and Home Comfort again and would absolutely recommend there services. I would give John and Co a 5 star rating!

When the job finally started John and crew did good work very quickly, three day and they were done. We used the heater in March and have used the AC this summer with no problems. Home Comfort and John & crew did a good job.
Description of Work: This rating was delayed so that we could use both heating and AC. Installed “Ductless Heating & AC” consisting of heating / AC units for four separate zones and the main compressor unit. John (Home Comforts contractor) helped me through the process of choice. It’s a little tricky deciding between regular AC and Ductless AC and then, if you decide to go ductless, how many ductless units. The difference in cost for each of these choices can be a bit unsettling and John was very helpful.

This is the second time we have contracted with John. The first time the unit was not cooling. He charged the compressor on the roof and added sealant with no guarantee it would work. It did work and has given us good service for over a year. This time he checked it out and changed the filter in the ceiling blower unit. Our unit is about 15 years old and on its last legs. John did not recommend replacing it until it actually fails. That makes good sense to us and we appreciate and respect his opinion. This is an overall excellent experience with a residential contractor. Highly recommended.
