Our Proud Selection of Air Conditioning Services
Let’s get to the good stuff! Air conditioners come in many different forms, but they all work with peculiar differences. Understanding what the difference is from one system to another is going to be incredibly important when you choose an air conditioning system going forward. Even for repairs or maintenance, different systems require unique solutions.
Here’s an example: heat pumps require maintenance twice a year, while central air conditioners only require it once per year. Why is that? Heat pumps operate as both heating and cooling systems, allowing them to operate for the entirety of the year. But this creates a new problem–the system works twice as hard and operates twice as long as a central AC unit.
The solution? Maintenance twice every year can get the job done. This will see to it that your heat pump stays in good shape for the rest of its lifespan.
Take a look at the other systems and services we offer, and see how your unique needs fit.
Central AC
Central air conditioner is referred to as the "gold standard" of air conditioning. Ever since their invention, they’ve been an easy choice for homeowners with spaces of all shapes and sizes. From condos to houses, to even large apartments, a central air conditioner is a great choice.
Here are some advantages of going with a central AC unit.
- Affordability. Central air conditioners are more affordable than heat pumps or ductless mini splits.
- Efficiency. Central air conditioners have competitive efficiency ratings. While high-efficiency central AC units are more expensive, they can reduce your energy bills substantially.
- Whole home comfort. Instead of cooling only a fraction of the space in your home with a window unit, a central air conditioner is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to cool your entire house.
Don’t worry, we also can provide a total care package with your central AC, from repairs to maintenance and even replacement when the time comes. Consider us your central cooling experts!

Generators
Nothing can make a hot and humid day more miserable than a power outage. All of a sudden, all of your devices and your HVAC system are just props and the discomfort slowly sets in. You might even lose the precious food you just bought in your refrigerator as a result. This is truly a bad situation, and it’s one that we unfortunately see often with storms, floods, grid fluctuations, and more.
But there is a solution to this problem, and it doesn’t have to break the bank. It might be time to consider investing in a generator system. No, we’re not talking about a portable generator that runs on gasoline, but the kind that powers lights at your local football field.
We’re talking about whole-house automatic standby generators that run on clean-burning natural gas. These systems automatically detect a power outage and turn on, allowing you to continue functioning as normal while the rest of your neighborhood loses power. Be a beacon of power, efficiency, and comfort for your neighbors with this excellent system.

Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are the future of HVAC technology. They’re systems that simply use refrigerant and electricity to move heat from one place to another. They’re not just air conditioners, they’re heaters too.
Many of our customers have old heating systems and air conditioners. It would be a huge boon to replace both of these systems, but that can be a hefty price tag and something that many people would avoid. That’s why people replace one at a time, mainly due to how expensive installation for two systems can be.
But here’s the thing–a heat pump can take the place of your old heater and air conditioner. It’s more affordable than installing two separate systems, and you’d also be eligible for many tax credits, rebates, promotions, and more. These systems are extremely efficient and eco-friendly, which is why the federal government, local utility companies, and state governments are incentivizing homeowners to invest in them. Take advantage of this now so you can save as much money as possible.

Thermostats
What good is an air conditioner without a handy thermostat to control it? Thermostats represent the brain of your HVAC system, and without a good brain, you can throw efficiency and control out the window. A powerful thermostat is going to be your best friend while you manage the indoor comfort and temperatures of your home. The best part is that these systems can now be controlled via smartphones and they’re programmable, which allows homeowners to schedule changes without their direct input. Welcome to the future of comfort!
Fun fact: Back in the day, thermostats were built with mercury inside of them. It would expand or contract based on the temperature of your home, filling up a tube and marking the temperature to the degree so it was easier to read. For decades it’s been proven that mercury is toxic and should not be used in home appliances, which is why we recommend replacing any old mercury thermostats with new ones–even if they’re not smart or Wi-Fi enabled systems.
Here’s the breakdown of our best thermostats and what they can bring to your home.
- Digital thermostats. Simple and effective. Press a button or touch a screen and change the temperature setting of your home. If you’re on a tight budget and need something to control your HVAC system, this can do the trick.
- Wi-Fi thermostats. Tired of getting up and changing the temperature when it gets too hot? Or perhaps you’d like to control your HVAC system while you’re on vacation? That’s all completely doable. Wi-Fi thermostats allow you to control the system from your smartphone anywhere you’ve got service. This enables maximum convenience and efficiency as a result.
- Smart thermostats. These powerhouses can make adjustments and give you efficiency ratings depending on your long-term HVAC usage. They can lower the burden on your HVAC system while you sleep, or detect when you’re in or out of the house so the system can adjust accordingly. These minor changes might seem frivolous, but they save a ton of money on your energy bills after just one year.

Zone Control Systems
Are you the victim of hot or cold spots? This is when your home has certain rooms or spaces that feel drafty and uncomfortable, no matter what the setting is on your thermostat. It’s an unfortunate circumstance and one that, until a few years ago, didn’t really have a good solution. But with the invention of a zone control system, you could feel even comfort throughout your entire home.
How does it work? Zone control systems are a series of dampers that change the pressure and airflow of your HVAC system. In short–it delivers more cooling to the areas that feel hot, while it brings less cooling to the areas that are already cooled down enough. This might not seem like a big change, but it makes a huge difference as those areas that used to feel uncomfortable are now the best spots in the house.
These systems are not easy to install at all if you don’t know what you’re doing. You’ll definitely want to work this out with a licensed professional so you get it quickly set up without any problems with your ductwork.

Which Air Conditioner Is Right for Your Home?
Choosing an air conditioner can be tricky–but here’s a good test.
- First start with your budget. As we sometimes say, you shouldn’t buy what you can’t afford! We want customers to choose a system that fits comfortably in their budget. We also offer financing options so you can pay it off over time instead of spending a lot of money all at once.
- Then, evaluate both your heating and cooling systems. If it looks like you only need a new AC, then you can opt for a central air conditioning system or something like that. This will fit in nicely with your heater. But if you’re looking to replace your heater and your air conditioner, then it might be better to opt for a ductless mini split or a heat pump.
- Next, schedule an appointment with our team to discuss your options and pinpoint the right system for your home. We’ll take it from there!
Let Comfy Heating & Air Conditioning Handle Installation
Installation can be a long and intense process, sometimes taking hours out of the day. And this is from a trained professional! It can take much longer and sometimes be nearly impossible to adequately finish if an amateur does it. This is where a lot of botched installations come from. We’d like our customers to avoid that outcome.
Our professionals are licensed, insured, and experienced. We know how to handle AC installation to the point where we can do it with our eyes closed.
Well, not really. Nobody can do that. But you get the point!
Only Trust the Professionals for AC Repair
Why not purchase the system on its own and work with a family member or a friend to install it? That sounds like a good idea for some people, especially if you’ve got a tech-savvy friend, right?
Contrary to what you might think, this never works out the way you think it will. In fact, amateur AC installation can lead to a whole host of problems that you might not be prepared for. You might not size the system accurately for the volume of air in your home, and you might end up setting up the refrigerant incorrectly, leading to a refrigerant leak and a serious issue down the line.
The word to remember here is trust. If you trust us to install your air conditioner correctly, then you can trust the system to work as intended. This is a two-way street, and we pride ourselves on delivering results. We’ll stay late and make sure it works exactly as it should.
Why Regular Air Conditioner Maintenance Is Important
An AC can last 10-15 years in the best cases, but what many manufacturers won’t tell you is that this is only achievable with routine maintenance. Maintenance is when a professional inspects your system, cleans it, tunes it up, and fixes minor issues that might be budding. It’s a necessary step even if customers think it can be avoided.
It’s estimated that with every year of missed maintenance, an air conditioner loses 5% of its efficiency. This is cumulative and adds up to a dramatic decrease over just a span of a few years.
Enjoy better results, fewer repairs, a more comfortable home, and a more energy efficient air conditioner with routine maintenance every year.

What happens when your air conditioner reaches retirement age? It’s something that happens to every system, and it can be a frustrating experience. We all wish our technology could last forever, but when those components start wearing down and deteriorating, you’ll want to have a contingency plan.

We can do this in the same timeframe it would take to install a brand-new unit, so just work with our team from start to finish.
