Owner Jordan Hammond begins H.C Air Conditioning in 2010 after identifying a market niche.
In October 2020, Genuine Comfort grew with the acquisition of NRG Equipment Inc. and the Perfect Comfort brand (www.perfectcomfort.ca). This was an exciting addition, as NRG Equipment has a long history of being a major distributor and player in the Room-Air / HVAC space in Canada and North America.
H.C Air Conditioning rebrands to Genuine Comfort after the NRG and Perfect Comfort acquisition.
In April of 2021, Genuine Comfort acquired Avalanche 21 Inc. from long-time owner Mathieu Legault, a staple commercial room-air distributor in Eastern Canada.
