Tips for Identifying an AC Emergency

Not sure if you need emergency service? Look out for these signs:

AC not turning on at all
Unusual burning or electrical smells
System blowing warm air
Loud banging or grinding noises
Leaks around the unit
Rapid temperature rise indoors

If you notice any of the above, it's best to shut down the system and call our experts for immediate help.

How to Stay Cool While Waiting for AC Repair

While waiting for emergency AC repair, try the following tips to keep your home comfortable:

Close blinds and curtains to block out sunlight
Use ceiling and portable fans to circulate air
Stay hydrated and avoid using heat-producing appliances
Gather in the coolest part of the house, typically lower floors
Wear lightweight, breathable clothing

These steps can provide temporary relief while our team arrives to solve the issue.

To combat this environment, we recommend:

Frequent system inspections
Use of corrosion-resistant parts
Strategic placement of outdoor units

Great Customer Service
"We had plumbing issues at THE worst time, Friday after 5 pm! We had a leak coming from the toilet in our only bathroom. We called 4 plumbing companies and the only one that got back to us that evening was American Plumbing. They offered to come out that evening but Saturday morning was best for us and we were their first appointment! Ozzie Garcia was the technician that came out and he was great! Then Sunday afternoon we had an issue with our main water line and again, American Plumbing and Ozzie Garcia came to our rescue!! Both times they called back in a timely manner and took care of our plumbing issues right away. Ozzie is professional, courteous, timely, and has great customer service!! I will ALWAYS use them for my plumbing needs and refer them to friends and family!"

"After contacting three other plumbers and getting elusive responses, I contacted American Plumbing and had a Technician out the next day. The kitchen sink had been clogged several days after Thanksgiving, as well as a shower drain. Took less than an hour! David was very nice and professional."

What a Relief!
“American Plumbing will be our new HVAC agency in the future, and I would recommend Nicholas to anyone!”

- Patty S.

What a Relief!
"After 5 days of waiting on another HVAC company who was "waiting on the manual from the manufacturer" to even begin to diagnose what was wrong with our A/C unit, we called American Plumbing. What a relief! Nicholas C came out right away and within minutes showed us that one of the circuit boards had burn marks that indicated an obvious issue. He ordered the parts the same day, had them express shipped, and showed up within a day of receiving the parts to get us up and running again. Nicholas was friendly, professional, honest, and efficient. American Plumbing will be our new HVAC agency in the future, and I would recommend Nicholas to anyone! He helped us get back to full business. Thank you!!"
