ITEM  7.01  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On the 12th day of November, 2013, Comfort Systems USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), a leading provider of commercial/industrial heating, ventilation and air conditioning services, posted to the “Investor” section of its Internet website (www.comfortsystemsusa.com) an investor presentation slideshow.  The Company intends to use this presentation in making presentations to analysts, potential investors, and other interested parties.

The information included in the investor presentation includes financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance.  The Company believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company’s core businesses.  These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

The information in this Form 8-K being furnished under Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.  The investor presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements are based on the Company’s expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements.  These risks are discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including an extensive discussion of these risks in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

A copy of the presentation is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1

Disclosures Disclosures Safe Harbor Certain statements and information in this presentation may constitute forw ard-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believ e,” “ex pect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forw ard-looking statements, which are generally not historic in nature. These forward-looking statements are based on the current ex pectations and beliefs of Comfort Systems USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectiv ely, the “Company”) concerning future dev elopments and their effect on the Company. While the Company ’s management believes that these forw ard-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future dev elopments affecting the Company will be those that it anticipates. All comments concerning the Company ’s ex pectations for future revenues and operating results are based on the Company’s forecasts for its existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. The Company ’s forward-looking statements inv olve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control) and assumptions that could cause actual future results to differ materially from the Company ’s historical experience and its present ex pectations or projections. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forw ard-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the use of incorrect estimates for bidding a fix ed-price contract; undertaking contractual commitments that exceed the Company ’s labor resources; failing to perform contractual obligations efficiently enough to maintain profitability ; national or regional weakness in construction activ ity and economic conditions; financial difficulties affecting projects, vendors, customers, or subcontractors; the Company’s backlog failing to translate into actual rev enue or profits; difficulty in obtaining or increased costs associated with bonding and insurance; impairment to goodw ill; errors in the Company’s percentage-of-completion method of accounting; the result of competition in the Company ’s markets; the Company ’s decentralized management structure; material failure to comply with v arying state and local laws, regulations or requirements; debarment from bidding on or performing gov ernment contracts; shortages of labor and specialty building materials; retention of key management; seasonal fluctuations in the demand for HVAC sy stems; the imposition of past and future liability from env ironmental, safety, and health regulations including the inherent risk associated with self-insurance; adv erse litigation results; and other risks detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause the Company ’s results to differ from its projected results, please see its filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forw ard-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future ev ents, or otherwise. Non-GAAP Measures Certain measures in this presentation are not measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). They should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures appearing in these slides are identified in the footnote. See the Appendices for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. 2

Other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a financial measure that is frequently requested by third parties.
