About

American Residential Services works out of Dallas, Texas, handling HVAC jobs plus heating, cooling, and plumbing repairs for local homes. The outfit has spent decades showing up to deal with broken air conditioners, furnaces, and water lines that fail during Texas heat or winter freezes. Crews stay available seven days a week for everything from routine maintenance to full system swaps, focusing on the practical fixes homeowners need when thermostats quit or pipes back up. They cover air conditioning components, heat pumps, boilers, and drain services without extra layers of process.

Technicians handle air conditioning installations by arriving on schedule, walking through each step with the owner, and testing the unit until it runs without issues before they leave the site clean. Water heater replacements often take teams like Jordan and a helper five hours or more to swap units and connect everything properly. Sewer line repairs target tree root blockages that cause backups, though extra digging sometimes surfaces later under driveways or garages. Furnace maintenance, duct cleaning, and electrical outlet fixes fill out the daily calls in Dallas neighborhoods where old systems break often.

Customers note the crews arrive prepared, explain the work clearly, and finish jobs without leftover mess or delays on the main tasks. Feedback highlights solid quality on big HVAC installs and steady communication during repairs, with speed on emergency heating or cooling calls standing out even when prices draw questions. Those steady results across thousands of visits add up over time. DIRT Score 4.85 from 5156 reviews on Finds.

What Customers Say

I will not engage with this company again due to numerous issues and disappointments. Initially, I was assured that I would receive new equipment. However, after signing the loan agreement, the technician retrieved the old equipment from the truck and claimed it was superior. Subsequently, the equipment failed to function properly, resulting in sending a 2nd technician visit to replace all components the previous technician installed. Joel Hernandez at the Hutto, Texas office, who falsely promised a 30% discount, which was never granted. I now face a charge of nearly $3,000 for unsatisfactory service, and I have yet to speak with Mr.Joel Hernandez. The first technician left everything outside open and lied that he did not leave anything open. I have pictures to prove that he did not finish the job on the outside and lied about installing the correct digital box in my home that was faulty. I advise potential customers to avoid this company, as it engages in dishonest practices, fails to honor its refund policy commitments, and prioritizes profit over customer satisfaction. If you are reading this, do not use this company, as they are likely to deceive and exploit clients for financial gain.

I was left with a mound of dirt. I had ARS come out since I had problems with sewer line back up due to tree roots. This was the end of April. Finally after numerous calls no one seemed to know why the job did not pass inspection. More deep digging has to be done further under my garage. This took another month. Bad communication Finally I was left with a mound of dirt after the trench was filled in

I am extremely satisfied with the AC installation service. The technicians were professional, knowledgeable, and arrived on time. They explained the entire process, completed the installation efficiently, and made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. They kept the work area clean and answered all of my questions. The new system is running great, and I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for quality HVAC service. Excellent work from start to finish!

Installed a new water heater but description of new system did not match what was installed. Two young men (Jordan who was great and sensible) worked over 5 hours on the installation. The other boy asked for our WiFi password or if we could put on the soccer game for him. Lazy young man. The system must of been new to them. They took forever. System looks horrible. For the price it should’ve been better. So far disappointed.

ARS was incredibly responsive and professional. They came out the morning of July 4th to provide a free consultation and estimate for my water heater, which I really appreciated on a holiday. They replaced the unit on July 6th. Jacob and Austin showed up on time, and did a great job. The team was professional, explained how to care for the system, and made sure I knew how to shut it off in case of an emergency. I’m very grateful for the quick service and clear communication!
