The Carlson Company - Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning

The Carlson Company runs plumbing operations from their location in Tucson. Homeowners in Catalina Foothills and the wider Tucson region turn to them for reliable pipe and fixture work. They extend their reach to places like Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, Vail, Catalina, Green Valley, and Saddlebrooke. With a base at 1010 E. Ft. Lowell Rd, the team sticks to straightforward plumbing repairs and installations while also managing heating, air conditioning, and sheet metal tasks that often tie into the same jobs. This setup lets them handle the full range of issues that come up in desert homes.

In Tucson, plumbers face unique challenges from the dry climate and occasional heavy rains that stress older lines. They often get called out for burst pipes after temperature swings, clogged drains from hard water buildup, and water heater replacements that keep homes supplied during hot summers. The Carlson Company sends crews to fix leaking faucets, clear main sewer lines, and install new fixtures in kitchens and baths. Homeowners deal with mineral deposits that wear out parts faster than in other places, so regular maintenance on wells or city water connections becomes key. Their work keeps everything flowing without the headaches that come from ignored leaks turning into bigger foundation problems.

Customers give them solid marks for quick response times when emergencies hit, solid workmanship that lasts, and reasonable costs without surprises. The communication stays direct so folks know what is happening at each step. This approach builds trust over many jobs across the area. DIRT Score 4.45 from 141 reviews on Finds.

“Once again, the Carlson Co. knocked it out the park for us. This week 8/25/25 thru 8/31/25 we had to use The Carlson Company. For the past two years they have been helping with projects around our house. Running gas lines for an outdoor kitchen, replacing hot water heater, installing A/C in are garage etc. I wanted to replace the toilets in the house, so I called Mike, and he had them installed. The best is I did not know The Carlson Company unclogged sewer drains. We had two other companies come out and one I told to leave because he was so rude and unprofessional. The other company told me that the sewer line was broke. They stated we would have to cut up the kitchen floor. So, I decided to call The Carlson Company and ask if they provide that type of service. Dave Carlson came out”

“Nick was delightful to work with, he kept me appraised as things were going during the service call. He cleared the problem in the sewer and all is well now.”

“I know Dennis since some time, he is smart and reliable and he has saved our old Unit in the past several times. The two technicians which installed the new unit, were Knowledgeable and polite, we are glad we chose Carlson again. The tall technician trained me with the new thermostat, we are happy with the whole job, I am glad we chose Carlson again.You guys Installed the original unit and it lasted for 24 years.”

“We are so glad we chose The Carlson Company to install our new AC/Heat system 13 years ago when the old one failed in the hottest part of Tucson's summer. They helped us make a smart decision for our home and have been incredibly responsive and responsible in the very few instances when we needed a minor repair since. Most recently we were fortunate to have Dennis bring his years of experience to resolve a minor but not obvious adjustment to the equipment and Mike Carlson took full responsibility for the issue and wouldn't charge us. If you have a concern or question, you will often hear from Mike himself as he and his whole team stand by their work and take care of their customers.”
