Recommended Customer Reviews

Our AC fan outsode our house spinning on Friday afternoon. Fred was able to come over in a couple of hours and correctly diagnose the issue. He successfully did the repair the next day and the AC now works great.
Fred is also an amazing teacher who explains the AC mechanism in an easy to understand manner. I just felt after this experience that it was more than a transaction-
Fed took ownership and personal responsibility in getting the job done in a cost efficient manner. I heartily recommend this company and the owner, Fred.

Very responsive and thorough with replacing my water heater. Improved my existing pipes to the new water heater. Would recommend to others. Thank you for the good work.

Fred is simply the best! I had a leak in a drain pipe and reached out to two other top rated plumbing companies in yelp. One of them never showed up. So I went ahead with the other one. They spent a whole day and still couldn't fix the leak and finally told me that this is not a job they can do and suggested using a tape to fix the leak! I reached out to Fred and he did his best to accommodate my job in his schedule the very next day. He clearly told me it's not going to be an easy job but was confident that he could get it done. And he got it done perfectly and on time! Highly recommend Fred and his crew!

Okay, so if I could give Fred six stars, I absolutely would. I called several plumbers regarding a leaky toilet on Thursday morning. None of them (including Fred) had any availability that day, but he had the earliest availability which was Friday between 4-6PM. He asked me to text him my address, which I did... except I accidentally texted the wrong number. (Sad trombone.)
I didn't figure this out until Friday at 5:45 PM. (The people who I *did* text neglected to let me know that I had the wrong number.) At that point I called Fred, explained what had happened, and he sweetly offered to come out on Saturday between 3-5. He also asked me to send him some photos of the leaky toilet.
He came right on time (shortly after three) and immediately diagnosed the problem. I told him that we're planning to remodel that bathroom and he said that we could either fix it or simply turn off the water to that toilet until we demo the bathroom. (We chose to do the latter.) He also gave us some advice on an unrelated issue which he spotted in the pictures that I had sent.
Despite our protests he refused to charge us a fee for the visit because he didn't fix anything. This is clearly a man who is invested in his work, takes a lot of pride in it, and knows his stuff. I will absolutely be contacting him for my plumbing needs in the future.

This is the business to call! Our upstairs AC unit kept tripping the breaker yesterday. I messaged them on Yelp last night and they replied early this morning. They were able to come out today to fix the AC unit due to a cancellation. Fred was professional, polite, and friendly. He showed me that the capacitor died. They replaced the capacitor and the unit runs perfectly again. Thank you, again!!

My home came with an older AC unit and furnace. I've relied on Fred and team to check on them every year and they've done a great job with maintenance and never trying to upsell me. While I'm glad my old units are still running without any issues, I wouldn't hesitate to work with them when it's time for replacements.

American Ace Plumbing and Air we extremely prompt. Had our A/C unit quit last night and they showed up within 45 minutes of my call, diagnosed the problem and fixed it within 30 minutes at a very reasonable cost. Thanks guys!!

Fred was the only person who responded quickly when I had a water leak. Was able to Diagnose and fix the issue at a reasonable price. Highly recommend!

Fred was fantastic. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Will use them again if/when necessary.

Called and got incredibly honest and valuable information about my air conditioning unit. Will never hesitate to call back when I need hvac help
