After 39 wonderful years of serving the Rochester, NY community, we are writing to let you know that we have our doors permanently.
This was not an easy decision, and it came with a mix of emotions.  For nearly four decades, it has been our immense privilege to provide for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning needs.  We are incredibly proud of the relationships we’ve built and the trust you’ve placed in us over the years.  Our success has always been a direct result of your loyalty and support, and for that, we are profoundly grateful.
We understand this news may come as a surprise, and we want to assure you that we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for all our valued customers.
What this means for you:
  • Warranties: If you have an active warranty with us, please contact the manufacturer of your equipment for a reputable local contact warranty company.
  • Future HVAC Needs: While we won’t be able to serve you directly, we personally recommend doing what you did to obtain our services.  Rely on positive Google Reviews and other customer/friend recommendations.  Word of mouth is the best medium of all.  Remember, without integrity, no company can have positive word of mouth.
We want to extend our sincerest thanks for being such an integral part of our family.  It has been an honor to serve you, and we will cherish the memories and relationships forged over these past 39 years.
With deepest gratitude,

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I change my filter?

If you have a one-inch filter, you need to change it 6-7 times a year with AC. If you have a 5-inch filter, you can change it once a year.

How often should I get annual maintenance on my furnace?

Annually helps the furnace’s life, along with saving money on utilities.

When should I look at purchasing a new Furnace?

If your furnace is 20 years or more, or you are looking at more than $600 in repairs on one that is 12 years old you should look into purchasing a new furnace. The warranty for a new Airtemp or American Standard furnace is 10 years parts and 1-year labor.

How long does a water heater last?

8 to 12 years is the average life of a water heater.

What size generator should I get?

The average size is 12KW and it would depend on what you want to run when the power goes off. Each piece of equipment takes power to run and can add up.

Can I change my oil/propane furnace to gas?

Yes, and you can save money in the process using gas over oil/propane.

What is the most common reason for a furnace/AC service call?

A plugged filter is the reason for 85% of service calls.

What do I need to look for when hiring an HVAC company?

When looking to hire an HVAC company, you want to make sure they have liability and workman’s comp insurance. You also can review the business ratings and reviews.

Are there different types of pool heaters?

Yes, you can obtain a gas/propane pool heater, or an electric heat pump. Each one serves different purposes.

What size pool heater should I get for my pool?

The average inground gas heater is 250,000 Btu’s. The heat pumps start at 120,000 Btu’s and can go up to 225,000 Btu’s. We personally feel bigger is better with the heat pumps.
The average above ground gas heater is 150,000 Btu’s and the average heat pump is 70,000 Btu’s.

I have used Northern Comfort Heating and Cooling multiple times now. I think the first time was for our pool heater. It was that great service that lead me to have them service my AC last summer and now our furnace / heat. Each time they have been fantastic to work with and would highly recommend them to anyone that needed their services.”
