I recently had my first service visit with Cold Comfort, and I was very impressed. Jerry was the technician who came out, and he was knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to talk to. It can be difficult to find honest and reliable HVAC companies, but this experience stood out. I had several questions prepared about my refrigerant, capacitor, and overall system, but I found that I did not even need to ask them because Jerry naturally addressed those topics during our conversation and explained everything clearly. He also completed a detailed inspection of my HVAC closet and offered a helpful recommendation for a better filter. The service was straightforward, with a flat fee and no upselling or pressure, which I really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely be using Cold Comfort again for my annual maintenance. read more

I have used Cold Comfort HVAC Services many times and I won't use anyone else. They are honest, competent, hardworking, and have reasonable prices. It's extremely rare to find a company with integrity these days that believes in great customer service. When you call them there is no need to have any anxiety. Relax, you will be in great hands. I give them an A+++++++ rating. I highly recommend. read more

Called at 2 PM on a Friday when the A/C went out ahead of a 90+ degree weekend. Jary showed up at 5 PM and efficiently diagnosed and fixed the problem within 20 minutes. I know who I'm using for HVAC going forward. read more

Our AC went out a little over a week ago, of course it happened toward the end of the week so it was Friday afternoon by the time we realized it wasn't something routine maintenance on our side would fix. Jary (who helped us when we first moved in) came out on Tuesday and said we had a leak somewhere since the closed-system unit was totally out of coolant. He came back Weds. to do the leak detection and found the leak, recommended a new coil. We had the new coil installed on Friday; this time it was Ricardo and team that did the work installing the coil. They did a great job and a couple hours later our house was back to normal temperature. Gabriel helped us with all the coordination and estimates and seeing if the part was still under warranty (it wasn't, but I didn't expect it would be honestly.) No one likes spending a bunch of money on repairs but I'm very confident that the recommendations Jary made were sound and correct. He did not attempt to upsell me at all, which is greatly appreciated. (The estimates Gabriel sent did include options for replacing the unit, but that wasn't necessary at this time and there was no pressure to do so.) I will continue to call them if we have issues in future with our HVAC system. read more

Cold Comfort is the best company for HVAC service! They have arrived on time for every service call (a couple of times early!). The service person is identified in advance so you know who is coming to the door. Every one has been professional, polite and extremely knowledgeable. Jary Staszewski has been a real great source of information and he quickly troubleshot our problems and got us to cool air fast! These aren't new hires, these are the guys who teach the guys who teach the new hires! There's no upselling. Just their honest evaluation of the problem and the best ways to fix it. It's a great feeling to be able to trust your HVAC company! read more

Learned about Cold Comfort HVAC while researching companies locally bc we needed to replace our entire HVAC system in the Fall. Cold Comfort was our 3rd company to provide an estimate and to come out to assess my unit, etc. The owner, Gabriel was the reason we made this company our choice. He was down to earth, honest and provided solid reasons why they choose the products they use. Our unit was over 25 years old, had served us well and I was unfamiliar with some of the other brands being offered now. We were a "Carrier" family. They were immediate in responding with a same day appointment for the service call and we were scheduled for installation withon the same week On the day of installation, his amazing team arrived right in time w/ cheer and professionalism. They explained what they were doing and how, lines my floors with cloths and covered their shoes to avoid a major mess, they were efficient and communicated with us throughout the removal and installation process. They cleaned up after themselves leaving us with very little to do other than dust. They showed us how everything worked, how to troubleshoot if need be and how to communicate if there were questions or issues. In total, Cold Comfort replaced the entire HVAC system, our humidifier, thermostat and then several days later, our water heater! Whew!!! We have been extremely pleased with everything so far and are grateful we found such a wonderful company to work with before winter! We highly recommend Cold Comfort HVAV services! You won't be disappointed! read more

I originally complained about response times, but thank you Gabriel for the explanation, I'll reach back out after the summer.

Cold Comfort HVAC were fantastic and my new go to for any AC needs. I had them come to assess and issue we were having with a 12 year old AC unit that, to be honest was never installed correctly, and caused me nothing but grief. I was completely prepared to replace the whole unit. The tech (Jary) came out and dug right into the problems with the air handler in the attic. He clearly pointed out all of the issues he saw and was amazed it was functioning at all. we discussed the previous installation errors, and he had clear insights on why it was causing so many problems... Then next day, they had a quote for with a whole range of options and prices, and spent some time with me on the phone discussing the pros and cons of each. There was never any pressure - just information. They scheduled the install, and since it was going to be just over a week until they could fit us in, they graciously came over and loaned us some portable units to get us through the absolute heat wave we were experiencing (perfect timing). The install in our sweltering attic was incredibly professional, and going up and seeing it compared to what was there, I was blown away. Clean lines, everything tied up, everything contained within a metal emergency pan, all the lines insulated, wires managed... it was amazing. The new unit needed some adjustment to the airflow and the to adjust for the side mounting and they were there within an hour to make perfect. Gabriel and his whole team were absolutely top notch and went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied - even texting me on the next Saturday night to make sure all was well. Great team, great company. If you need AC things, use them. read more

Last year we overpaid another company for a new motor. This time, we did our homework. Cold Comfort came to our house the same day, diagnosed the problem, fixed it quickly, and gave us a fair price. Highly recommend. read more

Jary was great. He came the next day, diagnosed the issue, and sourced the parts and fixed the furnace the following day. Professional, friendly, and trustworthy. I will definitely be changing to using Cold Comfort for my maintenance as well. read more

Quick to respond. Resolved the I issue in hours for less $$ than anticipated- it helps that I kept my expectations loose. Only hiccup was that they charged an initial fee which was supposed to be deducted from the work and it wasn't- at first. I called the owner and he refunded it immediately. ++ read more

Excellent service! Jary came to perform a heating maintenance and was very professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. He explained everything he was checking and fixed a stuck damper issue he discovered. Great value and would recommend cold comfort for their HVAC services. read more

After 4 different technicians assessing our HVAC, I can confidently say that Cold Comfort is a premium small business who takes care of their customers. Quick to respond, 2 hour service call windows (not 4 like others), fair pricing, and knowledgeable and thorough technicians. We will be utilizing Cold Comfort from here on out. Especially if you have a Lennox system, they are a lennox premier provider which means they get better deals on Lennox parts than others potentially. If you look at all their reviews across the board they seem like a good, upstanding small business with happy customers read more

Good rebates. I hope my bill goes down! They did a nice job! I got rebates for the system and the ecobee. read more

our air conditioning was making strange noises but still blowing cold. They had us send them videos of sound and gave us an idea of what it might be and what it might cost. They promptly wrote back and forth with me making sure we were aware of a 99 dollar cost to check it out. Sometimes those costs with other companies are a big surprise. Jary came out two days later right on time. Jary checked everything and explained and answered every question. In the end nothing was really wrong. Just a dirty coil and a really hot week in Maryland. He made sure I was ok with everything and off he went. read more

Ricardo came out over today (1/26) when our usual HVAC folks were too busy. Quoted a 99 dollar service fee upfront. Made it to our house despite not having plowed roads. Our furnace was no longer kicking in and our house dropped to 40 degrees overnight. His team rapidly diagnosed and fixed the heat! Total paid 99 dollars! Will certainly be looking to hire again! read more

Amazing responsiveness and service! My furnace conked out overnight during perhaps the worst cold spell I've experienced in MoCo. Called at 7:30 AM, got a call back within 5 minutes, and a tech out by 10:30 AM. Marvin showed me exactly what was wrong (dead induction motor) and was extremely helpful walking through the options; particularly whether to repair the 20+ year old furnace or to replace it. Got all the quotes by 4 PM the same day. We decided it made more sense to replace it, and had an appointment booked for Monday. I am now enjoying heat again! Everyone on the install was great; tidy and professional. Great service, good pricing, highly recommended. read more

Very quick to respond on my inquiry on Yelp, next day in person schedule and show up on time and walked me through various options. I asked for different quotes, different combinations and various options. Gabriel was very friendly and walked me through each combination. Installation was done within 2 days as expected with great quality as far as I can see. It's not the cheapest option, probably 20% over the next best option, but I don't regret spending more to get a better service. I replaced full HVAC, added air filteration, UV system and Humidifier. read more

Antonio came on time. Before installing the new part we needed, he inspected every aspect of our HVAC system. He explained there was an electrical problem he discovered that needed to be fixed before he could install the new HVAC part. Explained the issue to me. Spoke with our contractor who would bring in his electrician to sort out that aspect of the problem. Knowledgeable, Will use them in the future as our "Go To" HVAC company. read more

You can stop looking for HVAC help right now because Cold Comfort can't be beat. What happened was this: my residential 2017 Carrier HVAC equipment failed (the dreaded "Code 41 system motor fault") in the middle of a mean heatwave -- and I'm one of those people whose health can't tolerate extreme weather and the poor air quality that goes with it -- and very few repair technicians available on short notice. The solution: Cold Comfort, in a little over a day. Mind you, the fix wasn't straightforward, either. It required the 2-man team (real gents, they were, too) a total of 3 visits. The last of which was one they cheerfully volunteered to make at the end of their nonstop 12-hour workday. The final compliment I'll make is they dealt with the warranty claims directly, so my total cost was under $500. Definitely impressed. read more

Jary is just like a magician. He come in the early afternoon the next day and get the problem resolved quickly!

My AC had shut off and called Cool comfort and they sent out a technician the next day. The technician was courteous and professional. He checked the HVAc and knew what the problem was and fixed it. I would highly recoomed the company. read more

They solved our problem quickly and knowledgeably. Prices were very reasonable. We will call them again when we need something.

Two years ago I needed to replace my 2 unit HVAC system. I got 5 estimates from local vendors. Cold Comfort was the least expensive of all. Remarkably, they have been the best HVAC company I have ever dealt with and I have had 7 houses in the past 30 years. Gabriel, a co-owner, is readily available and highly responsive. I strongly recommend this company. read more

Our A/C was running but no air coming out of the vents. I contacted a well known HVAC company and they said it would be 2 WEEKS for the earliest appointment, because it's been so hot. I was in a panic. I saw Cold Comfort HVAC on Yelp and all the 5 star ratings and called them. They had a technician come the following morning on a holiday! Jerry came on the 4th of July earlier than scheduled and found a simple solution that was causing our coils to freeze up with no air coming out of the vents even after shutting off the system for 7 hours. I was floored and so impressed he didn't try to upsell me or charge extra. These guys are absolutely amazing. Jerry educated us and gave us tips on what to check next time if the system doesn't work. I'm so impressed. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Excellent. The technician was efficient and he knew what he was doing. About 45 minutes after he arrived, my AC was working again and he did a complementary inspection of the rest of the HVAC system. Price wasn't cheap but reasonable for MOCO. read more

Gabriel is the real deal! He was very responsive and showed up to my house within the appointment window for the initial estimate. He was very transparent and explained the whole process of HVAC replacement. His crew showed up on time for the replacement of the system and used drop cloths and left the place clean and tidy after they were done. Very pleased with the services. read more

Cold Comfort had come out to replace our thermostat 3 years ago and we were pleased with their service. Now the AC stopped working two days before we were on vacation. We called and Jerry diagnosed the stuck drain float and had it fixed, drained and working within an hour. He showed up on time and sent a text when he was on his way. Glad we called Cold Comfort. read more

I used Cold Comfort to replace my water heater. They were the best price and the people I spoke with were professional and friendly. Now my 26 year old AC unit has broken and I turned to them again. They were able to help me immediately, work with me financially, and still have the best pricing in town. I'll always use choose them! read more

CC sent Marvin, who was great. He worked fast, the problem (a leak) was fixed, and the price was lower than I expected/feared. We will use Cold Comfort again. read more

Excellent service. From the responsiveness and professionalism of the founder in explaining the quote, to the reasonability of pricing, to the speed of installation, to the quick turnaround when the fan speed needed to be changed. Would hire again! read more

This company is listed on Fujitsu website as specializing in Airstage H-series repair. However, I was told they will NOT work on any system that they did not install. In all my years as a homeowner, I have never heard of such a practice. So in spite of their high ratings, do not bother contacting this company if you have an existing system installed by anyone else. Yelp is forcing me to leave a rating to post this info so I'll split the difference, round up, and leave at 3 stars. read more

Great service, effective communication. Amazing value, highly recommend over other HVAC services in the area.

Had to write another review and thank Jary for fixing my AC unit July 2024. It was blowing warm air and I was terrified of what that could mean but he was able to fix it right away, in the pouring rain mind you. Great customer service and great company, I will repeatedly recommend them! read more

Superb! Please support this small Veteran owned company. Hats off to Antonio and Gabriel. Hats off to Jary! Hats off to Ricardo! Last month my AC made a huge loud cranking noise and it died on us. It was scorching hot at 80-90. Gabriel was very nice to let us borrow their portable AC Toshiba unit which helped us cool the house down. To have your house feel like a sauna is an understatement. It felt like the sun was inside my house instead of outside. Jary is their special certified HVAC tech that came to investigate our old Goodman AC unit last year and warned us that our coil is getting bad and went into details that eventually, we would need to replace our AC either next year or 2. He also saw how poorly designed our AC unit was built with Goodman brand which is known to be a horrible AC brand. We called them because our AC unit kept turning off. Long story short, he was right. Gabriel even came out with Ricardo to see how our vents were built and said our AC is good for now but will eventually need to be replaced because it's more than 24 years old. Also, prior to them coming, the AC never ever went up to the top floor and it's been always hot when the temperature rises. Two rooms were so hot so Gabriel explained what needs to be done because the original build of the vent was a trunk but didn't spread to the top floor, so only the mid and basement floor would be cool instead. Fast forward in April, Ricardo and his team was professional and opened up a brand new Toshiba portable AC and our rooms were cool. They don't need to do this but they did. It just shows you THEY TRULY CARE! This team did an amazing job. My house is now cool and because of Jarry, Gabriel and Ricardo, they did a thorough investigation and actually broke down each problem and told me step by step. Before Ricardo left on the day of installation of my entire unit, he showed me how to use the control of both the thermostat because the top floor has its own thermostat so the AC can flow to the top floor. Also, they tested my heat on all floors before they went to make sure the heat works as well. Overall, after they finished my entire top floor, it was nice and cool and no longer hot. A+ Ricardo. Thank you! Gabriel was extremely nice to us and gave us affordable payment options. So, their price is at the highest quality and I've compared to others and they're a no go but these guys know their stuff and it just shows. Overall, we are 100% satisfied. I actually found this HVAC company through Yelp and the hype is real. Antonio and Gabriel are both owners of this company and truly stand by their work. Thank you for your service. Believe in the hype from all these customers they serviced. I am a living proof of an actual testimony. This company truly cares. I totally got a brand new Lennox AC system from them which is the highest quality AC system. I have personally met Gabriel and not only is he a very funny co-owner and cracks jokes here and there, he knows his stuff and supports his work. I can trust him because their entire team literally broke down what was wrong with my AC unit instead of trying to sell me a car. Antonio, Gabriel or their wives reading this, I salute their service and continue providing this AMAZING service. Everyone is praising you on here and I will spread word of mouth. read more

I bought an older home with some curious quirks when it came to the gas furnace and central air conditioners. Prior owners clearly had no problem spending money on equipment, but did not supervise or guide the installation. I encountered an oversized, loud, neglected basement furnace that tried desperately to heat a home that is a tad on the drafty side. The attic furnace, meanwhile worked too well and created a degree of toastiness that was a bit overkill. Further, the prior owners leaned a bit heavier on aesthetics rather than practicality with the placement of the A/C condensers. Imagine having refrigerant lines buried in the ground running the perimeter of the home...yeah. I was a bit incredulous of Cold Comforts high ratings on Yelp. One of the maxims of modern living is that there is no way this many people are content enough with an HVAC installation and O&M company. Just not possible. However, I included them in a group of three for estimates and a general problem solving session. First, they showed up on time. A huge plus. So often I have dealt with contractors that not only did a poor job, but didn't even bother to show up on time. Second, they had a thoughtful approach to solving my problems. I am not an HVAC expert of residential contractor, but I have just enough sense and experience to know what makes sense and what doesn't. Their ideas made sense and when I indicated I was looking for a practical solution they embraced it and ran with it. They communicated well, provided me with a nice set of options on quotes and were very responsive. In contrast, the other two providers seemed to come up short. They seemed intimidated by the project, provided superficial insights and wanted to present me a laundry list of options on equipment selections. I do not mind optionality, hell I love it, but confronting a project like this with categories like Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze Plus and Bronze without any context and noticeable difference other than cost was a big turnoff. Further, when given the quote for work, it was a no brainer. Cold Comfort was communicative, thoughtful and affordable for pretty much the same product tech as the competition. It took two days, but the guys showed up on time and cleaned up well. They took pride in their work, communicated well and it was a big win. I love dealing with a firm that wants my business and wants to work. They were great and while it is my hope I don't need them again anytime soon, I am also comforted by the idea they are going to be coming out for any servicing in case there are time ups needed. read more

I decided to go with another company based solely on price. At this time money was most important. Company responded immediately and set up site survey within a day. No problem getting estimate in timely fashion. read more

My AC unit had not been serviced or even looked at since it was installed in 2006. It has been working well all this time, as I change filters every three months without exception. But lately it seemed to be struggling somewhat and I couldn't tell if it was the consistently brutal weather or it needed servicing. So as usual I got three estimates from local highly-rated companies on Yelp! Cold Comfort was the highest of the three estimates, but after reading a few pages of reviews and ratings of the competition, the estimates were close enough I decided to go with Cold Comfort because of the stellar reviews from Yelpers who were solid Yelp community members. I'm glad I did. Jary let me watch and ask questions as he spent a couple hours inspecting both the outdoor AC unit and the furnace. He explained that the condenser, which changes the warm air to cold and helps dehumidify, is actually housed with the furnace, not the outside unit. The estimate was $99 plus whatever repairs might be needed. In the end it was $99 and Jary showed me how my coils were very clean and said the religious changing of filters was the trick. He also said I should be going with a less expensive filter because the one I had was thick and stressed the system. He showed me how to choose the proper filter (something "8" marked on the filters) and mine was a 12. All in all, I feel like I got a bargain with all Jary did. He was also a nice guy to talk with. In the future, for HVAC anything I'll be going to Cold Comfort. read more

Our furnace stopped working and we reached out to Cold Comfort based on all of the great Yelp reviews. Scheduling an appointment was very easy. Marvin arrived on time, and quickly diagnosed and fixed our issue at a fair price. Marvin did a great job talking through what he was doing, and was very honest (no upselling). Would highly recommend Cold Comfort. read more
