Art of Comfort Services

Built Locally. Growing Together.

Art of Comfort Services brings together three businesses that built their reputations long before they joined forces.

Each began with people who knew their trade, cared about their customers, and worked to build something lasting.

We believe that history matters.

Our Beginnings

Three Businesses. Different Beginnings.

  • The owner of Art of Comfort HVAC

    Our HVAC roots go back to 2012, when the business began as Art's Heating & Cooling in Pleasanton.

    Today, Art of Comfort continues serving homeowners with heating, cooling, heat pumps, and HVAC system replacements.

  • Paul Hennings of Chase Electric

    The Hennings family built Chase Electric over more than 30 years of electrical work in the Tri-Valley.

    Paul Hennings and his family established relationships with homeowners through residential electrical services, panel upgrades, and installations.

  • Frans Cartwright, founder of Better Water Heaters

    Frans Cartwright founded Better Water Heaters in 2003.

    With his engineering background and the involvement of his son Spencer, the business developed a reputation for its focus on water heater installation, replacement, and service.

Why We Joined Forces

Keeping Local Businesses Strong.

The home services industry has been changing.

Private-equity-backed groups and larger operators are acquiring local service businesses, often giving them access to resources that smaller companies find difficult to match.

We believe there's another way to grow.

By bringing established companies together and sharing operational resources, we can help each business become stronger without asking it to give up its name, specialty, or history.

Our goal isn't to turn three local companies into one generic contractor.

It's to help each company continue doing what made it successful while benefiting from the strength of the group.

What Stays the Same

The Names, People, and Experience Behind the Work.

  • Art of Comfort HVAC remains focused on heating and cooling.
  • Chase Electric remains focused on electrical work.
  • Better Water Heaters remains focused on water heaters.

Each business continues serving customers under its established name.

Art of Comfort Services provides the shared structure and support behind them.
