Hoffman & Hoffman, a company specializing in heating, ventilation and air conditioning solutions, plans to expand its operations in Lexington County, South Carolina. The $8.5 million project is expected to create 60 jobs.

The company’s new facility, located at 1 Southern Court in West Columbia, will allow it to consolidate its existing offices and increase production. Operations are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026.

“Our growth in South Carolina is a direct reflection of the customers who trust us to solve their most complex HVAC challenges. We’re honored to deepen our commitment to this market,” Hoffman & Hoffman CEO Jim Bingham said.

Hoffman & Hoffman delivers high-efficiency commercial HVAC equipment, innovative building controls, expert mechanical services and specialized hydronic systems.

“Hoffman & Hoffman’s expansion is a testament to the thriving business environment we have created throughout South Carolina. We welcome this additional investment and the 60 new opportunities it will bring to the Midlands. Congratulations to Hoffman & Hoffman and Lexington County,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.

“When a company chooses to reinvest in its existing operations, it’s one of the greatest endorsements our region can receive. Hoffman & Hoffman’s $8.5 million investment and 60 new jobs in Lexington underscore the strength of our business climate and the long-term success companies achieve here. Congratulations to Hoffman & Hoffman on this milestone! We look forward to supporting your continued growth in the central region of South Carolina,” Central SC Alliance Chairman Tushar Chikhliker added.
