ComfortOne: Three Decades of Trusted HVAC Service in Stafford

For thirty years, ComfortOne has been keeping Northern Virginia comfortable through every season. Founded in 1994 by Gary Hamby, this family-owned HVAC company has built its reputation on a foundation of expertise, integrity, and genuine care and concern for the community.

Gary Hamby's journey into the heating and cooling industry began in his youth, when he worked as an apprentice in both residential and commercial HVAC before pursuing formal trade school education. His commitment to excellence led him to earn master's licenses in multiple trades—HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and gas-fitting—making ComfortOne a truly comprehensive service provider.

"We feel like honesty and integrity are so important in today's world, and we don't like to see folks hit with repair and replacement costs higher than they should be," Hamby explains, highlighting the core philosophy that drives his business. This commitment to fairness has earned ComfortOne a loyal customer base that appreciates transparent pricing and honest assessments.

The company offers full-service air conditioning and heating solutions, from new equipment installations to emergency repairs. What sets ComfortOne apart is its holistic approach to customer service, treating each client with the same respect, whether they're working on a residential home or a commercial property.

Faith and family remain at the heart of the ComfortOne story. "We try to honor God in everything we do as well as our customers," Hamby shares, reflecting the values that guide their daily operations. The Hamby family has deep roots in Stafford, having lived in the area for 25 years, with four grown children and nine grandchildren– all residing locally.

The family atmosphere extends into the workplace, creating memorable moments that keep the work environment light and enjoyable. "When our grandkids come to the office for a visit, they pretend to answer the phone with 'ComfortOne, how can I help you?'" Hamby recalls with evident pride, though he's quick to add they're "never allowed to actually answer calls!"

ComfortOne's confidence in their work shows in their invitation to customers: "We love it when customers compare our work and prices with others. It makes us feel good about what we do!" This bold stance reflects three decades of consistent quality service and competitive pricing. 

The company also finds deep satisfaction in its mission of improving people’s daily comfort and quality of life: "We enjoy being able to provide heating and cooling in every season to our clients. It makes our home and work environment so much better!" Hamby notes.

Fully licensed and insured in Virginia, ComfortOne continues to serve both residential and commercial clients throughout the region, maintaining the same commitment to excellence that has sustained them for three decades. Give ComfortOne a call for your heating and cooling needs at 1-800-472-2408.
