About Us

Solutions for every season, from a team whose roots run deep

In 2015, with over 20 years of industry experience, Tom Harvey established Holy City Heating & Air. The company has grown immensely since — the beliefs haven't changed.

The story

Tom Harvey's story starts in 1999, as an HVAC helper learning the trade from the bottom rung. In 2015 — after years running his own earlier shop — he restarted with a beat-up truck and a bag of tools, and a conviction that Charleston deserved better service. That restart became Holy City Heating & Air.

The growth since has been the loud part of the story: a team of seasoned local professionals, a wrapped fleet you'll recognize on the Crosstown, and recognition in the top quarter of the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies. The quiet part hasn't changed — answer the phone until 9 PM, explain what we find in plain language, and earn the next twenty years of your business rather than one oversized invoice.

Tom was born and raised on James Island and still lives there with his wife Jennifer and their three children — Ethan, Carolina, and Arabella — who are active in the local community and in the daily operations of the business. Family business, in the literal sense.

Licensed, insured, local

Holy City Heating & Air, LLC operates under South Carolina license #M113404 from our home at 238 East Bay St, Charleston, SC 29401 — in the heart of the city we're named for.

Giving Back

Charleston shows up for us — we show up back


Our customers are our friends and family — and their friends and family. That's why you'll find us at Toys for Tots drives, the Pet Helpers Fur Ball, Camp Happy Days, the Teachers' Supply Closet, Walk for Autism Charleston, James Island Elementary, and Music & Movies in the Park — and on the air with Two Girls & a Guy on 95.9 The Mix, where Mike "The Guy" has vouched for our work to the whole Lowcountry.
