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
Strategic placement of outdoor units

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!"

"Andrew was amazing and was able to repair our A/C unit very quickly and efficiently. He was able to come within one hour of me calling in on a Saturday! Once he removed the A/C box, we were surprised with 3 fried rats!! He was able to remove them and fix our A/C. It's working great! We would highly recommend this company and Andrew!"

"Keep it in the family. My sister has used their services; she highly recommended them. They did not disappoint.

As a business etiquette consultant, I teach customer service, so I'm always aware of phone manners, courtesy, and communication.

When I called, Myra, answered the phone. Her tone of voice was so welcoming and cheerful. She listened and understood the urgency my 93-year-old father had to address the leaky sink. I didn't feel like just "another call". Thank you, Myra!

And then, David and Ozzy showed up. It is so nice to see people who enjoy their profession and have a happy disposition. They both seem to complement each other, exchanging thoughts and solutions, with enthusiasm. It was a pleasure to watch them solve the problem. They were quick, neat, funny, and kind, and patient with my father's chit-chat.

I already told a neighbor about them. Thanks, Myra, David, and Ozzy!"

Very Good Experience
"Our 20-year old furnace was acting up, and American Plumbing, Heating, and Air sent someone out quickly. James was very friendly when he looked at it and recommended a new one. The price and time to install were clear, and there were no surprises. James and Ozzie were very friendly and professional when they installed the new unit. They were very efficient and wore masks the whole time. Very good experience and we'll call them again!"
