From Humble Beginnings to HVAC Excellence

In the sweltering summer of 1985, John Coolidge found himself sweating profusely in his Bristol, Rhode Island home. The air conditioning unit had broken down, and no local technician was available for days. Frustrated but inspired, John decided to take matters into his own hands.

With a background in mechanical engineering and a passion for problem-solving, John spent countless hours researching air conditioning systems. He eventually fixed his own unit and realized there was a significant need for reliable AC services in the area. This moment of discomfort sparked the idea that would become Superior Comfort.

Building a Legacy of Trust

Starting with just a van and a toolkit, John began offering AC repair services to his neighbors in Bristol. Word quickly spread about his expertise and dedication to customer satisfaction. Within a year, Superior Comfort had expanded to serve Newport and Portsmouth.

As the business grew, John hired and trained a team of skilled technicians, instilling in them the same values of excellence and reliability that had driven him from the beginning. The company’s reputation for quality work and honest service continued to flourish.

Expanding Horizons

By the late 1990s, Superior Comfort had become a household name in Rhode Island. The company expanded its services to include:

• Comprehensive HVAC installations
• Regular maintenance plans
• Energy-efficient system upgrades
• 24/7 emergency repairs

With a growing fleet of vehicles and a team of certified professionals, Superior Comfort extended its reach to Warren, Barrington, and Middletown. The company’s commitment to staying ahead of industry trends and adopting the latest technologies set them apart from competitors.

A Community Partner

Superior Comfort’s success wasn’t just measured in profits but in the positive impact on the community. The company initiated a program to provide free AC maintenance for local senior centers and sponsored youth sports teams across Rhode Island.

John’s daughter, Sarah, joined the business in 2010, bringing fresh ideas and a focus on sustainability. Under her influence, Superior Comfort began offering eco-friendly HVAC solutions and educating customers on energy conservation.

The Future Looks Cool

Today, Superior Comfort stands as a testament to the power of dedication, expertise, and customer-first thinking. From its humble beginnings in Bristol to serving six thriving Rhode Island communities, the company continues to set the standard for HVAC excellence.

As climate challenges increase and technology evolves, Superior Comfort remains committed to keeping Rhode Island residents comfortable, no matter the weather. With a legacy of trust and a vision for the future, this family-owned business proves that success is truly a breath of fresh air.
