Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the Participants and Plan Administrator of
Comfort Systems USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Comfort Systems USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of delinquent participant contributions for the year ended December 31, 2007, and assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2007, are presented for the purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Comfort Systems USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan
December 31, 2007 and 2006
1. Description of Plan
General
The following description of the Comfort Systems USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information only. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plans provisions, a copy of which is available from Comfort Systems USA, Inc. (the Company).
The Plan is a defined contribution plan, established effective October 1, 1998, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2003, and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Eligibility
Effective April 1, 2006, employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of each month coincident with or following the date of hire. Prior to April 1, 2006, employees of the Company were eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of each quarter coincident with or following their date of hire.
Effective October 1, 2006, employees of the Company are eligible to receive the Companys discretionary matching contributions immediately upon contributing, as defined in the Plan. Prior to October 1, 2006, participants became eligible to receive the Companys discretionary matching contribution after the completion of one year of service, as defined by the Plan.
Contributions
Participants may elect to defer a percentage of their compensation during the plan year which is defined in the Plan and subject to the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (the IRC). Participants may also contribute amounts representing rollover distributions from other qualified plans.
The Company may make a discretionary matching contribution to the Plan in an amount equal to a percentage determined by the Company. Additional discretionary contributions may be made at the option of the Company, including regular profit-sharing contributions. Additional discretionary contributions totaled $273,598 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Certain participants whose services are covered by the federal, state, or municipal prevailing wage law or the Davis Bacon Act, as amended, receive Company prevailing wage law profit-sharing contributions.
Participants direct the investment allocation of all contributions.

Comfort Systems USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contribution, the Company discretionary matching contribution, if any, and allocations of (a) the Companys additional discretionary contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on the participant earnings or account balances, as defined by the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and the prevailing wage law profit-sharing contributions made on behalf of eligible participants plus actual earnings thereon. Participants are 100% vested in Company discretionary contributions plus earnings upon attainment of age 59½, death, or disability. Participants whose service terminates prior to age 59½ for reasons other than retirement, death, or disability are eligible to receive vested Company discretionary contributions, if any, and interest thereon based on years of continuous service. A participant is 20% vested in Company discretionary contributions after one year and an additional 20% for each year thereafter.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, less the participants highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding 12 months. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants account. The loan term may not exceed five years, except for loans used for the purchase of a principal residence which may be repaid in up to ten years. The interest rate is fixed at the time of borrowing and shall be a reasonable rate of interest as determined by the plan administrator. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. Participant loans were $4,183,444 and $3,630,480 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Payment of Benefits
On termination of service due to death, disability, or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participants vested interest in his or her account, or annual installments over a ten-year period. For termination of service for other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.
Forfeitures
Forfeitures occur when a participant terminates employment before becoming 100% vested with respect to their Company discretionary contributions. Forfeitures shall be used to reduce future Company discretionary contributions or to pay administrative expenses of the Plan. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $82,433 and $206,544, respectively. During 2007 and 2006, Company discretionary contributions were reduced by $290,238 and $6,940 from forfeited
6
Comfort Systems USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
nonvested accounts, respectively. During 2007 and 2006, administrative expenses of $34,682 and $26,527 were paid from forfeited nonvested accounts, respectively.
Administrative Expenses
Certain administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their account balances.
2. Summary of Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared on an accrual method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Benefits
Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.
Transfers from Other Plans
The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the amount of transfers from another plan.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 157 (SFAS No. 157), Fair Value Measurement. This standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and expands disclosure on the effect on earnings for items measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; however, the FASB has agreed to defer the effective date one year (November 15, 2008) for non-financial assets and liabilities. During 2008, the Plan must adopt this accounting pronouncement for its financial statements.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial
7
Comfort Systems USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. During 2008, the Plan must adopt this accounting pronouncement for its financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan investments are held in a group annuity contract with Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (PRIAC), a company of Prudential Financial, Inc. (Prudential). The contract includes the Prudential Guaranteed Income Fund, which is invested in Prudentials general portfolio and is recorded at contract value, which approximates fair value. As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP), respectively, investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. Management evaluated the investment contracts and determined that this does not have an impact on the Plans financial statements as the contract value approximates fair value as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. The Guaranteed Income Fund does not have a maturity date and therefore cash flows are unable to be discounted to determine the fair market value, and is therefore calculated as the contract value. As of the December 31, 2007 and 2006, the contract value was $31,300,580 and $28,326,031, respectively. The Guaranteed Income Fund does not have penalties for early withdrawals. Participant-directed transfers among investment options and distributions will normally be made immediately; however, Prudential may exercise its contractual right to defer a transfer or distribution from the Guaranteed Income Fund. It has seldom been necessary for Prudential to invoke this deferral provision.
The rate of credited interest for any period of time will be determined by PRIAC and is guaranteed for six-month periods (January 1 through June 30 and July 1 through December 31). The average credited interest for PRIAC was approximately 4.00% and 3.53% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The rate at which interest was accrued to the contract balance for PRIAC was 4.00% and 3.85% as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.
The contract also includes investments in pooled separate accounts, which were stated at fair value as determined by PRIAC at December 31, 2007 and 2006, based on the quoted market values of the underlying assets in the separate accounts. Common stock is stated at fair value based on quotations obtained from national securities exchanges. Participant loans are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

4. Income Tax Status
The Plan obtained its determination letter on March 25, 2005, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, however, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
5. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investments in common stock, pooled separate accounts, and a group annuity contract. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risks. Due to the level of
9
Comfort Systems USA, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and participant account balances.
6. Party-in-Interest Transactions
The Plan invests in various PRIAC pooled separate accounts, a company of Prudential. These investments are considered party-in-interest transactions because Prudential Bank & Trust, FSB, a company of Prudential, serves as trustee of the Plan. The Plan management has approved these investment options.
The Plan also invests in the Companys common stock. Transactions in Company stock are considered party-in-interest transactions because the Company is the Plan sponsor.
7. Subsequent Events
Effective April 1, 2008, the Plan was amended to permit the Company to designate one or more investment options as the Plans qualified default investment alternative within the meaning of Section 624 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and regulations issued thereunder. Thereafter, the Company designated a series of pooled separate accounts offered by PRIAC under the names Retirement Goal 2010, Retirement Goal 2020, Retirement Goal 2030, Retirement Goal 2040 and Retirement Goal 2050 as the default investment options under the Plan. Notice regarding the Companys designation of those funds as the Plans default investment option was provided to Plan participants in March 2008.
Effective April 1, 2008, the Plan was amended to permit the Company to automatically enroll newly hired employees into the Plan with an automatic contribution of 3% of compensation. Employees receive notice before the automatic contribution begins. An employee may opt out of the automatic enrollment within 15 days of receiving the notice by either electing a different contribution percentage or electing not to contribute. If the employee does not direct their contributions, amounts will be invested in a Prudential Retirement Goal Fund based on the employees age and target retirement date.
Effective July 1, 2008, it is anticipated the Merit Mechanical, Inc. 401(k) Employees Retirement Plan will merge into the Plan as a result of the acquisition made by the Company. Affected participants will become eligible to participate in the Plan subject to the provisions of the Plan agreement.
