Why You Can Trust An NCI-Certified Heating and Air Conditioning or Plumbing Contractor Welcome to National Comfort Institute Online. On this site you will find information that will help you learn more about your home comfort system and the people who install and service heating and air conditioning systems. We encourage you to stop and do some research to help insure your investment in your home comfort system gives you the maximum value, comfort, safety and energy efficiency. True Home Comfort and Energy Efficiency
 Rather than just “quoting” new equipment, a National Comfort Institute-certified contractor will test your entire heating and air conditioning system with sophisticated test instruments, and offer the best solutions for your home comfort system.
Unrivaled Service and Maintenance
 Your equipment is only one component of your heating and air conditioning system. An NCI-certified service technician has the training and the tools to diagnose problems with your comfort system beyond just the indoor or outdoor equipment. He tests to make sure the “whole” system is working properly. Measured Performance
 An NCI certified contractor has taken extensive training and has invested in the tools to make sure your comfort system is working as comfortably, efficiently and safely as possible. Some contractors may say they’re doing these things, but unless they give you written reports with information about air flow, system pressures, temperatures, carbon monoxide and combustion efficiency, they’re simply guessing that your existing or new system works properly. Customized Comfort Solutions
 An NCI Performance-Based Contractor™ will take the time to discuss comfort issues and concerns and design or redesign a comfort system to suit your specific lifestyle and needs.
Documented Results
 By measuring and documenting your new system’s performance after the installation an NCI Performance-Based Contractor™ makes sure it’s fine tuned to make the most of your energy costs while delivering the best possible comfort level it can. Unparalleled Safety and Peace of Mind
 An NCI-Certified Carbon Monoxide/Combustion Analyst can test to make sure all combustion appliances including furnaces, boilers, water heaters, stoves, ovens, dryers, and fireplaces are operating as safely and efficiently as they can. He does this with the latest techniques and test instruments that leave nothing to chance.

National Comfort Institute specializes in a number of areas of Heating and Air Conditioning with a strong focus on comfort, safety and energy efficiency. Who is National Comfort Institute? Our Origins
 National Comfort Institute is one of the country’s top training and certification organizations. NCI started in 1992 as National Balancing Institute, a training organization aimed at helping heating and air conditioning contractors provide even comfort throughout homes and businesses using a technique called Air Balancing. This technique, previously only available for large commercial and industrial facilities was refined to work in smaller buildings and homes. As NCI evolved, the organization widened its scope to include a total system approach to design, installation and service of heating and air conditioning systems. We call this approach, “Performance-Based Contracting™.” These contractors are different from the average service company because they do more than simply fix or replace equipment, they also focus on maximizing the comfort, safety and energy efficiency of the systems they sell and service.

 NCI has created a holistic approach to HVAC system work that we call Performance-Based Contracting™. Performance-Based Contractors™ are a decade ahead of basic air conditioning companies that just fix and/or replace equipment. Performance-Based Contractors™ make sure the entire system which includes the heating equipment, furnace, boiler etc., air conditioning equipment, duct system, and registers and grilles all work together to deliver the best possible comfort, safely, reliably and efficiently. They do this by measuring all system parameters include static pressure, air flow, temperatures, humidity, refrigerant charge, carbon monoxide, combustion efficiency and more. Then they diagnose and fix the system’s deficiencies making it perform properly to deliver the best possible Total System Performance. NCI’s Performance-Based Contractors™ are truly different from their competitors because they have invested in the training, certification, tools and instruments to deliver measured performance in the HVAC systems they sell and service.
