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.

Frequent system inspections
Use of corrosion-resistant parts

Great Company!
"We had David come out to do hot water heater flush and James to do HVAC clean up. They were both exactly on time and took care of everything very fast. Great company! Myra, who does dispatch is also great!"

“Took less than an hour!”

Very Nice and Professional
"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!!"

Quick and Honest Work
“He ended up recommending equipment that is much stronger, more efficient (DC vs AC), and it is seamlessly integrated with the rest of our smart home.”

- Thomas B.

Quick and Honest Work
"My wife had started the process of getting bids for a new AC system on the house. The bids she was getting were pure insanity. We had American Plumbing out to do our tankless water heater, and I knew they did AC. I also had Nick from American out earlier to our house to replace a capacitor on our old failing system, and he was quick and honest about the job. I wanted to hear his take on our job. He ended up recommending equipment that is much stronger, more efficient (DC vs AC), and it is seamlessly integrated with the rest of our smart home. All for about $8k less than the other bids we were getting. I even got a roll-around AC unit for my garage/shop as part of the deal.

Side bonus. My hummingbirds no longer fly away the second the AC fires up."

Above & Beyond Service
“We are always very happy with the excellent service that we receive from American Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning that I just need to recognize a company that goes above and beyond.”

- Tracy B.

Above & Beyond Service
"Way overdue in writing this review as it has been quite the year. However, we are always very happy with the excellent service that we receive from American Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning that I just need to recognize a company that goes above and beyond.

This particular review is on Nick and Juan who installed our air conditioner during one of the hottest weeks of the year. They were so professional and extremely knowledgeable about the unit that was being installed. From an original visit to installation was seamless and complete in under a week. They arrived wearing their masks and my home and yard were spotless when they left.

I also want to thank the office personnel as scheduling and payment were quick and easy.

We definitely recommend American Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning and will continue to do business with them!"
