I cannot give Home Comfort Services anything less than a 5 star review. I had to have our heat…read morepump and furnace replaced which was an expense I was not anticipating. I requested bids from 3 companies in addition to Home Comfort Services. Home Comfort was the lowest bid of the 3 I receive ( one company didn't bother to respond.). The owner and office staff were very helpful in walking me through the process of obtaining a 5% energy loan through PSCCU keeping in contact each step of the way. As soon as the loan was approved they were out the next day with the equipment. It was installed in two days and we are enjoying the AC in this 90+ heat. We have used Home Comfort Services for maintenance of our system for a few years now and have always enjoyed prompt, professional, and friendly service. I will recommend them to anyone.

So, what did I learn from my experience with Home Comfort Services…read more First, Home Comfort Services has only one technician. Pick a contractor with a large technical staff. This makes them more responsive and gives them a depth of experience that a single person won't have. Secondly, try to get a contractor that will install the whole system including electrical, that way the contractor won't be able to push the cause of the problem to something they aren't responsible for. Thirdly, especially for heat pumps make sure you have at least one year's labor. This allows the system to cycle through a whole year. Our system didn't fail until the dead of winter, nine months after the original installation. While Goodman gives a 10-year parts guarantee, it doesn't include labor. The problem with Goodman's guarantee is they don't cover diagnostics. There is no incentive for contractors to find the problem on the first visit. They can literally send their kids through college trying to find out what the problem with your HVAC unit is. Home Comfort Services installed our HVAC system in April of 2022. It worked well until January of 2023. When the weather turned cold the HVAC system died, it just blew the 3-amp fuse and went dark. Replacing the fuse failed immediately. For the next three months Home Comfort Services came out several times, each time proposing solutions that failed. Leaving us without heat for weeks at a time in sub-freezing weather. We survived isolating ourselves in rooms using space heaters. In March Home Comfort Service deduced that the problem was with the low voltage wiring running from the Air Handler inside the garage to the Heat Pump 100 feet away outside the house. I was resistant to this conclusion because the wiring had been working for the past 20 years without problem. We replaced the air conditioning unit that came with the house with a heat pump. The air conditioning unit worked with the house sense the house was constructed. We were told by Home Comfort Systems that they could use the existing wiring to install the heat pump. In March, 3 months after the first failure, Home Comfort Services said would not come out again unless the low voltage wiring was replaced. Replacing the wiring required wriggling under the house's 20" crawl space and hanging new wire. After laying out the new wire I called Home Comfort Services to come out and reconnected the wire. They got it working and wanted to charge $190 for the effort. I suggested we wait and see how it works. It failed again. When I notified Home Comfort Services that it failed again, they said they were throwing up their hands that they would send out a Goodman service technician. The earliest the Goodman technician could come out was in April or May. Three months from the last failure. Up to this point the only advantage of using Home Comfort services was they were not charging me. My position was the system was only a year old, so the problem was either installation or equipment, neither of which I felt I should pay for. I contacted another HVAC contractor, Platinum Mechanical. They came out the same day. I started to describe the history of the installation and failures, but before I could finish, he said he knew what the problem was. He diagnosed the problem and fixed it within an hour for $90. What was the problem? The Platinum Mechanical technician told me that it was a known problem with Goodman Heat Pumps. The pipes in an outdoor air-conditioning unit stay cold. But heat pumps create both heat and air conditioning. Therefore, the pipes in the heat pump can get very hot. Goodman in their efforts to keep the wiring tidy in the heat pump, zip tie the low voltage wires to the piping. These pipes when they heat the home and defrost the unit get hot enough to melt these wires. In the winter the pipes get hot and the low voltage wires that are zip tied against the copper can short. These shorts can come and go depending on the heat in the pipes. I cannot recommend using Home Comfort Services and would suggest you look for another contractor.
