About us

The company was established in 1972 as P&J Heating and Air Conditioning by Pete and Jim. In the late 1980's, Air Wise and Best Heating (established in 1948) joined the family and American Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning was formed. The year 2003 is here and American Comfort joins a national franchise to offer clients a higher level of service. One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning is here for the residential customers while maintaining the American Comfort name for the Commercial side of the business. It may seem like a lot of change, but, it was all done under one of the original owners. To this day, we are still family owned and operated.

My experience went very well. The technician was very courteous and helpful. He did a great job and I feel he went above and beyond to be as thorough as possible. He even provided more options & I learned a few great tips from him. I will be keeping him in my contacts for future use!

That experience was excellent. The individual who serviced us, explained things during the time he was working and was willing to answer our questions. He also advised us on how we could take the care of the air conditioner. I purchased the deal for $50. I did sign up for a membership which is like around $20 a month.

They did a diagnosis. They were actually good. The person who came, Jeff was really nice, smart, he knew what he was doing. He is a very knowledgeable technician. He showed me what to do when it was dead. They seemed fair and reasonable. They did what i asked them. The price was a little high for the check.

Everything was very good with two exceptions. The servicemen showed up on time, were very courteous and friendly, concerned about cleanliness, and provided the services as per the service agreement. (AC Inspection and TuneUp). The two exceptions: (1) they quoted me $225 to replace a $35 part (capacitor), (2) I later learned they did not plug the main fuse to the AC unit to ON position but instead to the OFF position. This caused my wife great concern and aggravation on a 90º spring day with temps reaching 80º inside the house because she could not get the AC to turn on.

Service call went very well. Frank, the technician, was polite and business oriented. Service call took a little over 2 hours. He offered some recommendations to improve the serviceability of my unit. He also quoted a few prices for installing a Humidifier. He said the quotes would be included in my receipt being eMailed to me. Quotes were not included. :o(

He charged $65 to replace the filter of the humidifier and to clean it. He is fine except that they are expensive. I just felt that $65 for the filter was a little bit high. I didn't have some issue before but I just wanted to check because we haven't checked it for almost three years. It's a new furnace and we are living in a house only like three years old. We knew that the furnace is not very strong because it's a 2-storey and it doesn't reach up there in which it was suppose to have reach up but it's not reaching. His comment was the choice of the furnace is not very adequate for the size of the house. The $49 Big Deal was a very good deal but he wanted us to enroll in the maintenance. He came on time, he was lost a little but it wasn't his fault.

My experience was very good. Scheduled was fine. He did find one part that he thought needed replaced. Once they came back out to repair the part, they misread the gauage and ended up not needing to replace the part. I liked how honest they were with me and I was impressed with that. I felt the price was fair for the service they did.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It was good. They were professional, they came on time, and they cleaned up after themselves. They made the appointment and they confirmed before they came. They did a great service and they did what they were supposed to do. I have no complaints. Overall, it went great. It was excellent!

The cleaning consisted of dusting many of the internal parts. He inspected the gas lines to make sure everything was firing evenly and it was. He also checked the capacitors, which he indicated were low and needed to be replaced. It makes me wonder if his tool to evaluate the capacitors was calibrated right since both capacitors were rated about the same. The only problem is that one of the furnaces has been buzzing / humming at all times since he left and they never responded to my inquiry about it.

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that no one has responded to your inquiry in regards to the buzzing noise and not sure how we missed it. In regards to the calibration, if someones meter were to have low batteries, it is possible to have false readings. If we had done our job correct the first time, you would have felt confident in the diagnosis. We will be calling you to discuss your experience and schedule a re-visit.

I purchased a big deal coupon for this company. It was fine. But I felt like I didn't get as much service as was written up in the description of what you get for the cleaning and inspection. I'm not a hundred percent sure about that, it's just when they left I was just a little bit unsettled that I had been anticipating more than I got. We set up a time and they came out at a mutually agreeable time. The guy said this what I'm going to do this and this and I don't do this with the $49 deal. I was fine with it at the time although I was excited that I was going to have my furnace looked at because I was concerned about it. I'm so a non-technical person that I'm not good talking to. I need to do my research and homework before so when I have somebody here I know what to ask and what to look for. I'm glad I did it. He wanted to sell me the whole sha-bang. You get handed this is what you really need to have done.

Our expectation was that inspection and cleaning would include furnace blower as well as burner. Unfortunately, it did not, but that may have been our issue. Reinforces that you need to understand fully what is being offered in the deal.

Response from One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning
Thank you for the review.. Sorry for the misunderstanding in regards to the blower cleaning. Blower assemblies typically do not have to be pulled and cleaned during a routine furnace tune up and is done on an "as needed" basis at is an additional cost. To do this correctly, you need to pull and disassemble the entire blower assembly, chemically clean, dry, reassemble, and then reinstall which can take approximately 30-45 minutes. As for the burners, they are always pulled and cleaned. Carl will be giving you a call to go over everything.

First of all, the customer service is really outstanding. Scheduling was easy, I received a call confirming my appointment, and the professional showed up on time. As a first time home owner, I found the guy very informative, and he gave me lots of advice. I ended up signing up for a monthly package - I need to get some extra work done on my older furnace, and you get some nicely reduced prices when you sign up for this. He also arranged for someone to come out and give me an estimate on a new furnace. I decided against it - due to a few reasons - but the price I was quoted was a bit high. They did, however, offer an awesome financing package.
Description of Work: Checked the furnace thoroughly. The professional took his him and was very informative.

They did good work, but they only serviced two of my three units – the 3rd unit was too old for them to service. They didn’t have the right parts to fix the igniter, though. I would use them again in the future, provided that they could explain what happened last time.

I'm having to write this review from memory, so I'm not sure how accurate I am with dates and numbers. Also, some of the price, quality and professionalism scores I provided don't mean much, because I don't have enough information to make a judgment about them. The technician seemed honest and knowledgeable, but I don't know enough about HVAC systems to know if I was taken for a ride or if a $49 special was appropriately raised to $200-ish, but the battery thing sure felt a lot like bait and switch. In 30 years of home ownership, I can't remember ever having to replace a battery in a furnace. I might hire this company one other time to see if they stick with the "not clean and check," but I'm sufficiently uncomfortable with the visit that I also might not invite them back.
Description of Work: As far as I know, the workman checked all the readings in the furnace. I was right nearby, but I don't know what he's supposed to do to accomplish his work. He checked and I think he replaced the filter in the humidifier, at extra cost, of course. I had told the company in advance that the filter probably needed replacing, and I knew what they would charge for that. The technician showed me a meter that supposedly measured the amount of charge left in some battery that could cause the motor not to turn on when cued by the thermostat. The number was a bit low, so I opted to replace the battery now rather than when the furnace doesn't turn on. He cleaned nothing, saying that there isn't anything to clean in the new furnaces. (Then why do HVAC companies continue to call these appointments "clean and check"?)

Thank you for the review. Im am sorry your experience left you with an uneasy feeling. Someone from the office will be giving you a call to discuss your experience and schedule someone to come by to re-clean the furnace and go over everything with you. It is obvious to me that the technician did not do his job. As far as the tune up goes, he did do a tune up on the furnace, changed the capacitor and tuned up the humidifier. The capacitor is a wearable item and does deteriorate over time. Think of the old walkman cassette players when the batteries were weak, you would hear the music began playing in slow motion. The same will happen with the blower motor if the capacitor is weak. Although you may not notice, it is causing some strain on the start up and running of the motor which could cause your motor to failure.

Thank you for the review and I am sorry for the confusion. I do see in the notes that you purchased the tune up which is a scheduled appointment. When you did phone in for service, it looks like you had an emergency service call (no heat) and then decided to use the special towards the evaluation fee. It looks like everything was confirmed through the office, but if we did not share the information with you, please give the office a call so we can discuss the service call.

They were scamming. They came out and told me that my furnace, which was working, was broken and it needed a new motor. They tried to sell me a new motor or a brand new furnace. I told somebody else about it and told them what the motor was that I needed. They brought a new motor for me at half the cost of what the other place was. They took a look at it and said the wires were disconnected from the motor. So the guy disconnected the wires from the motor and said that the motor need a replacement. There was nothing actually wrong with my furnace. I also have another furnace and he was supposed to clean it and they just went through it with a vacuum and kind of vacuumed it out. They didn't actually do the work that was supposed to be done. I paid for something that they didn't do.

Thank you for your feedback. I would like to assure you that our company goes to great lengths in our recruiting process to ensure that each individual that is hired meets or exceeds our very high honesty and integrity standards, this does not mean that our employees cannot or will not make a mistake. Six months ago our technician was at your home performing scheduled maintenance on your furnace. During the process he found that one inducer motor was not working and suggested the part be replaced or because of the age, it may make more sense to replace the system. Where the wires disconnected, it is very unlikely, but anything is possible. That would be the first item a veteran technician should look at while diagnosing a unit.
