About Us
Your Home Comfort Specialists!
1st Choice Heating & Air Conditioning aims to set a new business standard by delivering premium customer service, providing affordable HVAC service options in NJ, and guaranteeing superior workmanship in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Potential-focused rather than profit-focused, we invest in our team members: motivating them to fulfill their professional goals while achieving personal growth. As a result, our stellar New Jersey HVAC service team treats individuals, families, and homes with the respect and kindness they deserve. In short, happy employees make happy customers, and happy customers make the world a better place.
1st Choice is a partner in improving our community. Our company was founded on over 30 years of experience, and we’ve learned that customers understand the value of a company that cares, employees who are HVAC service experts, products that last, and workmanship that is second-to-none. Sure, we understand that you’re on a budget. That’s why we offer multiple HVAC service options and HVAC maintenance plans at the Jersey Shore—to meet your needs. No hard sells. No upsells. Just honest, upfront pricing that delivers on value.
1st Choice Is Your First Choice for Comfort
At 1st Choice we stand for—integrity, trustworthiness, honesty, dependability. When you need an HVAC company who represents excellence in every sense, you need 1st Choice. We may look like a corporate franchise, but we’re not! Locally owned and operated by the husband/wife team of Chris Riley and Gabriel Matthews (see header photo), 1st Choice Air Comfort was created to provide honest, straightforward HVAC services to our customers and a supportive environment for our employees.
We’ve all noticed the consolidation of services into the hands of monolith corporations and anonymous private equity companies along with the relentless push to put a dollar amount on every aspect of our lives. We’ve all been frustrated with the lack of accountability inherent in large corporate structures and we’d like to disrupt that trend by keeping our focus and our dollars in the communities we serve. We’re tired of seeing our communities decimated because “increasing shareholder profits” has been substituted for the American Dream.
Owning and running a local small business is challenging and can seem like an uphill battle however the rewards are great and worth more than any private equity firm can offer.
We’re all in this together and we choose to put you 1st!

What Our Customers Are Saying?
-
“I got four estimates and these guys were the only ones that took measurements of my square footage and did a load test to determine the best sized unit for my home. They arrived at 8:30am and stayed until 6pm to finish the job in one visit.” - Tim J.
-
“The team at 1st Choice Heating and Air Conditioning is top-notch! Justin, the technician, was so helpful; he took his time explaining the diagnostics to me.” - Michelle S.
-
“From the moment Chris stepped into our home he was very professional and knowledgeable - we told him that the AC unit that was just installed 6 years ago was running all day and just never cooled our home properly - so he measured and explained our problem” - Marian M.
