Meet Thomas Martinez

Thomas "Tommy" Martinez founded Ridgewood Air Conditioning & Heating in Ingleside and still runs the jobs himself. Customers describe him as "an ace HVAC mechanic" and "high tech with a high bar for integrity," and they mention the same things over and over: he explains what's wrong, he shows you, and his price is fair.

That's on purpose. Ridgewood checks systems with thermal imaging cameras and live digital testing, and every checkup and repair comes with readings and photos. You see what we see.

And the business runs on three simple promises:

"A real person answers the phone, the price is the same on Sunday as it is on Tuesday, and we'll give you pricing before any repairs are made."Thomas Martinez, owner

When a customer's heat went out during a cold snap and the part had to be ordered, Thomas brought them a room heater to use until it came in. That's the standard.

“Very pleased with the prompt and professional service. Tommy checked everything and then explained what was needed and why. We had to replace the old unit but his price was way lower than other estimates I had gotten in the past. I would highly recommend Ridgewood ac for all your heating and cooling needs.”

“Just bought a house that we knew had an old AC. Thomas is a real professional after dealing with other companies he helped us figure it out with great proposals for options. They are high tech and have a high bar for integrity. Once we decided he got it done the same week in one day of hard work installing the attic and outdoor units with his team. House was cool by 7:30 pm. And a great future seasonal service plan as part of the deal. Confidence and Trust is peace of mind. We totally recommend Ridgewood AC/Heating.”

“Looking for a great a/c guy? I HIGHLY recommend Ridgewood Air Conditioning and Heating! My condensing unit was freezing up which normally is a sure sign of a refrigerant leak. I was preparing to have to pay to replace a coil or unit. Thomas advised me there were no leaks, and the unit was charged. However when the other a/c company installed the unit last summer, they did not account for the extra length in the copper lines (the manufacturer only accounts for 10ft of line) which calls for more refrigerant. Less than 2lbs of refrigerant and now it's working great! Thank you Thomas for your honesty, integrity, and knowledge!”

“Called to book our spring AC check up and the woman who answered the phone was very courteous and friendly and worked with our schedule. Our technician showed up right on time, did a thorough job and let us know what he was doing every step of the way. He was very professional and friendly and gave us some helpful suggestions. We will definitely call on them again, should the need arise. Highly recommend.”

“Excellent service. I do understand HVAC systems and what you need to know is Thomas is an ace HVAC mechanic. That's right, I said mechanic not technician because there is a difference. Kind of company and person you want working on your HVAC. Don't think I've ever been happier with service provided. A+++++”
