Quality Service You Can Trust

JR Hobbs was founded with a simple mission: to deliver dependable heating, cooling, and air quality solutions with a personal touch. It all started over 17 years ago when our founder, James ‘Jim’ Harper, recognized a growing need for reliable, customer-focused HVAC services in Frostburg. With a background in HVAC repair and installation, Jim set out to create a company that not only provided expert technical solutions but also focused on building lasting relationships with customers. It wasn’t just about fixing units—it was about enhancing comfort, improving energy efficiency, and making homes healthier places to live.

 

Initially, JR Hobbs was a small, family-run operation with just a few tools, a truck, and a commitment to go above and beyond for every customer. We began by serving a handful of homes and small businesses, where our honest approach and attention to detail quickly gained us a reputation for quality. As word spread, so did our reach. Today, we’ve grown into a leading HVAC service provider, trusted by hundreds of homeowners and businesses across Frostburg, Breezewood, Chillford, Sunnybrook, Glendale Springs, and Coolvale.

 

Despite our growth, we have stayed true to our roots. We still believe that the best service comes from genuine care, skilled technicians, and transparent communication. We invest in continual training for our team, ensuring that we stay ahead of industry innovations while maintaining the same level of friendly, personalized service that defined us from the beginning. Whether it’s a routine maintenance call, a new system installation, or a late-night emergency repair, our journey has been built on a foundation of quality service, integrity, and putting our customers’ comfort first.”
