Our Story

The Heart Behind Cooley's Comfort :
“We’re Not Happy or Comfortable Until YOU Are.”
At Cooley's Comfort , our story begins with something deeper than tools and thermostats—it begins with family, integrity, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
Founded with a vision to bring genuine comfort, honesty, and top-quality workmanship to Arizona homeowners, Cooley's Comfort was built from the ground up by professionals who believed that home service should feel less like a transaction—and more like a trusted partnership or part of the Cooley's Comfort Club Family.
What started as a small operation has grown into a locally respected HVAC and home performance company, proudly serving families and businesses across the Valley in Maricopa and parts of Pinal Counties. We’ve earned a reputation not just for doing excellent work, but for treating people right—from first call to final walkthrough.
Why We Do What We Do
We don’t sell HVAC home service products we sell Comfort and Peace of Mind. We know that cooling, heating and indoor air quality systems don’t just impact temperature—they affect health, energy savings, peace of mind, and quality of life or we like to say your Comfort. That’s why our mission has always been to go beyond the basics.
With every service call, we aim to:
- Extend the life of your equipment
- Improve energy efficiency
- Improve the envelope, footprint, BTU load of your home
- Improve Home Performance Comfort so equipment works better, last longer
- Increase the safety and comfort of your home
- Improve any IAQ - indoor air quality concerns, issues
- And most importantly, earn your trust and peace of mind
The Meaning Behind the Name
We honor our roots in everything we do—especially through our beloved mascot, Cooley the Bear, who reminds us to make Arizona “BEARable” one home and business at a time.
Built On Trust. Backed By Expertise
Founder, Steven Dougherty, is a seasoned business professional who started out in the food industry owning a restaurant straight out of college. With all the equipment in a restaurant I quickly learned the importance of maintaining your HVAC & HVACR equipment and the reliability and peace of mind it can give you is beyond comforting. I have also worked for different HVAC companies. I experienced both good and bad practices driven by corporate priorities. Some companies focus on their customers, some focus on their employees, and others prioritize single transactions – just get the sale. I, we at Cooley's Comfort focuses on our customers, employees, and giving back to the communities we serve!
Our technicians are highly trained, non-commissioned, and committed to providing real solutions—not upsells. We back every service with our Happy Home Guarantee and Lifetime Workmanship Warranty, because we believe in doing things right the first time.
At Cooley's Comfort “We’re Not Happy or Comfortable Until YOU Are.” We know that a successful business is one that commits to satisfying its customers. This is done by hiring and training caring professionals who want to positively change this industry. We provide an opportunity for lifelong careers, investing in our employees long term, so the customer receives the end result of someone who takes pride in their work and stands behind everything we do as a team.
Our team goes the extra mile for our customers. Your home is a substantial asset and it should be a reliably safe, cozy comfortable space that grows in value over time. Our measure of success is to earn customers for life.
