HVAC Repair
Our HVAC repair services address heating and cooling system malfunctions with precision and urgency. Technicians diagnose issues ranging from thermostat failures to compressor problems, using specialized tools and manufacturer-approved parts. We prioritize restoring functionality while ensuring energy efficiency and system longevity. Emergency repairs are available for critical failures.
Duct Cleaning
Professional duct cleaning removes accumulated debris, allergens, and contaminants from HVAC systems. Our process uses high-powered vacuums and rotary brushes to clean ductwork thoroughly, improving air quality and system efficiency. We recommend biennial cleanings to maintain optimal performance and reduce respiratory irritants in homes.
AC Installation
We install modern air conditioning systems tailored to home size and climate needs. Our technicians handle proper sizing, refrigerant charging, and thermostat integration. Energy-efficient models reduce utility costs while smart thermostats enable remote temperature control. All installations include system performance testing and warranty registration.
Indoor Air Quality
Our air quality solutions include HEPA filters, UV germicidal lights, and humidity control systems. These technologies reduce allergens, bacteria, and mold spores circulating through HVAC systems. We conduct air quality assessments to recommend appropriate solutions for homes with pets, allergies, or moisture issues.
Water Heater Repair
We service all water heater types including tankless, electric, and gas models. Common repairs address heating element failures, thermostat issues, and pressure valve problems. Our technicians perform safety checks and efficiency tests to ensure reliable hot water supply while preventing leaks and energy waste.

AAA Furnace & Air Conditioning provides excellent customer service, tremendous craftsmanship, and know-how that you do not see much anymore.
Eddie and Jay in particular were able to quickly resolve a lingering issue that had seemingly ruined our furnace and left our home without heat as we entered the colder months. Within 90-minutes of arriving, Eddie and Jay diagnosed the issue, laid out the potential courses of action that we could take, replaced the faulty part, advised us on the potential next steps, and even taught us how to fix any pilot light issues moving forward.

Be aware, this contractor has a different name called RANDO AAA when going through a home warranty. Stay away from this contractor
If your home warranty assigned this contractor to you, try all your best and nag your home warranty company and request changing to a different contractor
My furnace's control board burnt off and needed to change to a new one. This is totally covered by my warranty. But the contractor requested me to spend another $200~350 for a maintenance service in order to change it!!! They fraudulently explained to me that the service is a preprocess of the fix and a must

When in starts getting cold, HVAC companies start getting busy. Some simply don't return your call. AAA did, but I found out why. Their goal is to upsell you service that you DON'T need. They did fix the unit, but charged a lot. They did a good job for me 25 years back, but times have changed was my experience.

One Friday night, our AC condenser stopped working, and the indications were pointing to a faulty capacitor. The forecast for the weekend was in the 90s and my cat had a heart condition, and she needed to be kept cool. It started calling HVAC companies early in the morning, the AAA person was very nice and offered me to put me in the schedule as a "standby," meaning they will come, but they cannot promise a specific time. Their technician came around 11am and quickly fixed the capacitor and the AC was up and running before it got hot.
Apparently, it is hard to find an HVAC company that

I would like to say how grateful we are to AAA Furnace for there wonderful team that put in our all new heating and air conditioning system. The furnace was 50 years old and we have never had air con for as as long as we owned our home ( 16 years) This was a big step for us and we are very pleased with the service and the professionalism. They were very expedient in getting the system in. Thank you so much AAA!!

AAA Furnace & Air Conditioning went above and beyond with respect to their work of installing a new air conditioning and heating system at a reasonable price. The town building inspector who verified that the work was performed correctly per the building permit application thought that AAA Furnace and Air Conditioning did a great job. The work also included changing the routing of the dryer exhaust vent since the this vent must be at least five feet away from the condenser according to building code. They also installed two of the latest Nest thermostats and routed power from the attic. They also
