“This is our home too.”Justin Terhune, owner of Hometown Comfort
Why Justin started Hometown Comfort
Justin has worked in HVAC for 20 years. He started Hometown Comfort in Houston, PA in 2026, after watching private equity buy up heating and cooling companies across the country. Prices went up and the care went down.
Hometown runs the other way. There are no rotating crews and no second sales visit, and the overhead stays small, which keeps prices competitive.
The same people who look at your system are the ones who stand behind the work, with a 1-year labor warranty in writing.

Residential homes only. We don't work inside the city of Pittsburgh. Not sure if you're in our area? Call and ask.
What happens when I call?
We talk through what's going on with your system, then we come out and look at it. We explain what we found and give you a price before any work starts.
Will I know the price before you start?
Yes. You get a price before any work starts. Nothing gets done until you say yes.
What are your hours?
Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM. On weekends we take emergency calls only.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
It depends on its age, condition and the cost of the repair. Gas furnaces commonly run about 15 to 20 years. If yours is near the end, we lay out both options with a price for each, in the same visit, and the decision is yours.
Another company said I need a new furnace. Will you look?
Yes. Show us the quote and we'll give it a free second look: the diagnosis, the sizing and the price.
Is your work guaranteed?
Yes. Our labor comes with a 1-year warranty in writing.
Do you offer financing?
Financing is available on approved credit. Ask when you call.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the house now. Don't flip switches or use your phone inside. Once you're outside, call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line. After the utility makes it safe, call us to fix the problem.
What if my carbon monoxide alarm goes off?
Get everyone outside and call 911. Don't re-enter until it's been checked and cleared. Then call us to find the cause.
Need your heat back on?
Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM. Weekends: emergency calls only.
