I called American Ace plumbing after my AC unit unexpectedly went out. I spoke with Fred, who agreed to come out within a few hours. Fred is amazing! He diagnosed the issue within minutes and quickly replaced the capacitor and wiring apparently chewed by rats. We were back in business in about 20 minutes at a very fair price. Fred is so knowledgeable, friendly and professional with a strong work ethic. I will use this company again based on their responsiveness, quality and value. read more

I called American ACE plumbing today for my leaking garbage disposal. Fred answered my call immediately and provided me fair and flat rate to replace the garbage disposal within 3 hours. No surprise extra charges. Very impressive. Fred was very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. I would highly recommend this company. read more

After submitting an estimate on Yelp, this company stood out with their great rates and fast responses. They replaced water valves under our sink and did a great job. I would definitely recommend this company! read more

We had a blocked drain that we couldn't clear ourselves, even with a snake, so we reached out to plumbers through Yelp's "get multiple quotes" feature. American Ace Plumbing responded quickly and had good reviews. Fred used a much more powerful, professional-grade snake that reached far deeper than ours. Before starting, they prepped the area with a tarp and got straight to work on the open drain. The entire job took less than an hour, including cleanup. The plumbers were extremely clean and respectful--they wore shoe covers and left the area clean when they were done. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed everything within about an hour. Overall, a great experience, and I'd definitely recommend American Ace Plumbing. read more

Scheduled service and confirmed time and date. Complete no show. No call, no text, no nothing.

I called 2 prominent companies. American Ace Plumbing came out on a Saturday morning, correctly diagnosed, and swiftly fixed the issue with my AC, at a very fair price. I am so thankful I have found an honest and reputable company, one that I will continue to use and refer. read more

American Ace plumbing is really the best. Fred is always answering the call, always so helpful. Would highly recommend!

Love this company! Fred is the best and his customer service is spot on. Great pricing, great workmanship!

I called American Ace Plumbing after a really bad experience with another well-known plumbing company that quoted me an absurdly high price mentioning dry wall has to be cut to fix it for a simple issue. American Ace was a breath of fresh air. Fred, the plumber quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it within minutes, charging a fraction of the previous quote. No pressure, no upselling, and no scare tactics--just honest, efficient work. If you're tired of inflated estimates and want a plumber who actually knows what they're doing, I highly recommend American Ace Plumbing. They saved me time, money, and a lot of frustration. read more

Straight forward estimate, reasonable quote. Knowledgeable. Crews worked hard to get project done in time.

Such great service! Fred immediately returned my call regarding a malfunctioning thermostat and arrived the next day as promised. He determined a new thermostat was necessary and installed, checked its performance, and finished up all in less than 30 minutes. We truly appreciated his expertise especially during this heat wave! read more

2nd time using them. If you want straight up service with no bullshit, hire these guys.

Had faulty valves that needed fixing Called at night and Fred answered right away Show him photos of the issue via text Able to quote me via text Price was better than most Was here next morning Very clean and walked me through the process Respected the price quote Poway Business Fred became my plumber read more

See all

Fred was affordable, on time, and very professional. I will definitely call him again for my plumbing needs.

Great company! They installed a MOEN automatic shut-off valve and a new Rheem gas water heater at our property. Fred is a top-notch plumber--skilled, responsive, punctual, and completely upfront with his pricing. He does quality work and is a true professional. Highly recommend! read more

It was a Saturday afternoon and I noticed a big leak coming out next to the house in the backyard. I turned off the irrigation valve supply line and that didn't stop the leak. I called several plumbers. Left messages for all of them. No response. Then my phone rings and it was American ace. He was in the middle of a 75 water heater emergency and he couldn't help me but he gave the courtesy of a call back and even helped me diagnose over the phone. He directed me to go to the main meter by the side walk. He said about 2 feet or so away from there is a green box of some sort. There is a shutoff valve in the box which will shut off the irrigation supply line altogether. Sure enough it worked. And now that I knew it was irrigation and nothing more serious, I called my landscaper and he completed the repair. American ace demonstrated great service despite not actually doing the job. Calling back to at least acknowledge my call and taking time to help me over the phone is indicative of their company's work ethic and service. If I need a plumber in the future I'm calling them. read more

HONEST, RELIABLE, TIMELY, CONSIDERATE, PATIENT, FAIR PRICING, QUALITY WORK. I found Fred, the owner of American Ace Plumbing via a Yelp request I submitted. My condo was built in 1992, so it's now that time when things need to be replaced or upgraded. Fred came by to see if he could identify the shower valve cartridge, but there were no markings as it is the original valve installed back in 1992. Fred let me know that he would need to cut a larger opening into the tile and then, cover it with a larger valve cover/ shower handle. He also let me know that I needed to have a backup plan, since I live in a 1/1, in the event it was more than just the valve that needed replacing. He said, "This could open up a whole can of worms." I am so grateful that Fred was honest and cared whether or not I had a bathroom to use, and made me aware that changing a shower valve is not like changing a bathroom sink faucet. This repair/replacement exceeded all my expectations and I am so very happy that I will not have to renovate my bathroom ahead of my timeline as that would be a big financial burden for me. Fred has also replaced a tub diverter, bathroom sink faucet, kitchen faucet and toilet. Every time it has been a timely response and quality work. Note: Re-posted review because my old Yelp account was hacked. read more

Got home one evening during these hot days and noticed that our AC condensor unit was not coming on. I tried everything I felt comfortable doing (pulling the disconnect and resetting it, resetting the breaker, and even changing the filter). After none of these were successful, I gave Fred a call the next morning. He came the same day and quickly diagnosed that one of the fuses in the disconnect was blown. He ended up replacing both fuses and the capacitor in our unit just out precaution. His service was quick (20 minutes) and he was very honest with me. I'm not sure what the going rate for the work is, but what he did seems very reasonable to me. Fred let me know that even though my unit was really old, it was actually good quality and running well. Unlike other companies that would probably suggest replacing the 30 year old system, he suggested repairing over replacing. I will definitely make sure to give Fred a call if something else happens with our hvac in the future! read more

We've used this company for years. Quick response time, knowledgeable, reasonably priced. Won't try to upsell you, just wants to solve the issue and move on. read more

Everything went well he fixed the issue before I even came back from picking up my daughter so I recommend him 100%

Great service. Fred was amazing to work with . He gave me all my options to repair my unit , and provided quick and efficient service read more

A kid dropped a sharpie down our automatic toilet during a party. Plumber showed up same day, fix it within 15 minutes despite the complicated toilet, and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

Had a water leak in the attic that was causing damage, I cut off water and called for 911 service. They came right from the job they were finishing within an hour and had it fixed about an hour later. I am so grateful for efficient friendly service for a fair price read more

These guys are awesome. They came on Memorial Day to fix my broken hot water heater. Took the unit apart and repaired the part in a flash. They got here within an hour from me calling and even called the company, Rinnai, to figure out if I had a warranty available to replace the part. Thank you! read more

2nd time calling Fred. This time for a HVAC/Furnace repair issue. I really appreciate a quick diagnosis of a complex problem. The problem was due to the chimney exhaust pipe on the roof. He went into the attic and after several minutes suspected that there was an issue on the roof. While I was puzzled by his suspicion, his hypothesis was spot on! Wow! He deftly climbed to the roof and removed the jammed chimney cap which was restricting airflow. Immediately drove to get replacement part and returned in 30mins. Deft service and accurate diagnosis of what could have been an expensive repair from any other big brand name HVAC techs. read more

These guys are amazing. Their charges are very reasonable. Fred came on time. Took look at some other issues free of charge.

I needed a tankless water heater flush, Fred showed up on time, but before he could perform the flush, he found a faulty valve which had to be replaced. He came back a couple of hours later with the needed part, expertly replaced the valve, then commenced with the aforementioned flush. Fred did clean, efficient and perfect work, highly recommend for any plumbing needs you may have. read more

Fred is awesome! He was able to accommodate for my garbage disposal swap out pretty quickly after my initial call, but since I have tenants it was a bit harder to coordinate. However, Fred was very accommodating and provided additional time slots. His prices were very competitive. The best one I found around the area. He was able to provide quote over the phone as well. Payment wise I just sent it through zelle. Super convenient! 10/10 would recommend :) read more

American Ace Plumbing CEO FRED is a straight shooter, no nonsense kind of guy. I asked for an estimate last week and he and his two cousins, Frank and Jay came, on time. Looked over the scope of the work. Fred then explained what they will do, gave me an estimate with options of what water heaters I would like, length of warranty. Gave me time to think it over. No pressure. After a day of contemplating and cost comparison with two other companies, I then accepted Fred's offer. Frank and Jay came back 5 days ago, March 28 and right on time. Frank and Jay were amiable ,polite. Did the work in about 3 hours and provided everything that was promised,installed the Bradford White water heater, including the expansion tank. Frank even turned off my furnace inside the house and turned it back on including the thermostat after they finished their work. Good job. Project cost was very reasonable, lower than the 2 other estimates. I definitely would recommend American Ace Plumbing. They certainly deserved a 5 star rating. Keep it up Fred, Frank and Jay and thank you. Joshua read more

Price estime was up front and on time service. The job was done fast and without issues.

THANK YOU Fred from American Ace Plumbing! He installed 3 toilets for us and hauled away the old ones for an affordable price. Was quick (finished in 2-3 hours) and made sure everything was working well and looked clean before leaving. We had an issue with our downstairs floor where it was imbalanced because of the work from previous plumbers, he went to Home Depot to buy products needed to seal and make everything look even. I really appreciate his attention to detail and going above and beyond to do quality work!! Will def use these plumbers again in the future :) read more

Excellent work from Fred and team installing our toilet. Quick, professional and friendly. Thank you!

Our water heater started leaking, and we were initially waiting for a call from our home warranty, only to find out they couldn't come out for another five days. With two young kids and the holiday week, we couldn't wait that long without hot water. Fred responded to our call immediately and had his team at our house within a few hours. They replaced the water heater the same day, and their pricing was very reasonable. Highly recommend. read more

Fred, the owner of American Ace Plumbing, came highly recommended from my sister for my mom's AC repair. My sister has used him on several occasions for her HVAC needs. He has been honest, straightforward, and efficient with his work, so we chose him to help with our mom's AC. My mom was very pleased with his quality of work and knowledge. Fred was able to fix her broken AC. We can tell he takes pride in his work and the quality of his work, which is rare to find these days. read more

I have been using Fred for both my house and my rental property for 10+ years. This guy is very knowledgeable and no BS. Just want to give you one example that just happened last week. I called Fred as water was leaking from the kitchen ceiling, he told me immediately that was due to the AC/Heating unit (very strange design) and came down in 20min and stopped leaking. Because of his knowledge and quick response, the leaking damage was very minimal. The guy is great. read more

We woke up early this morning to a pipe leak destroying our ceiling! I found Fred on Yelp and called him at 7am. He was able to come by at 9:40am and fix it upon identifying the problem immediately. Fred and his partner were professional, quick and skilled. I recommend going with Fred for your plumbing issues. read more

The reviews are true! I needed to have my tankless water heater serviced, and after getting a pricey quote from another plumber, I decided to try Yelp and found American Ace. Fred answered my call right away, and he was able to fit me in the next day (which was a Saturday) for a very reasonable price. He arrived on time and went right to work. Afterwards, he even helped me with a drain pipe that had been leaking at no extra charge. Moreover, I really appreciated the no hassle and no upsell that other plumbers often do. You won't be disappointed with American Ace! read more

Everything went well. Fred took care of us and we had our new water heater installed pretty quickly.

Found American Ace Plumbing via Yelp. Contact Fred for a shower drain unblocking at 8am. He was able to come same day-- time window between 11am and 2pm. He texted when he was on his way and arrived just after 11. Clean truck, organized tools and supplies and wore shoe covers to protect the floors. I appreciate the little things. Fred and a crew member got to work and snaked the drain. He had an industrial size powered auger that could go 60ft. He got a handful of hair and gunk from the shower drain. Fred tested it thoroughly and unfortunately there still seemed to be a block. He then proceeded to snake the bathroom sink and went pretty deep there too. He estimated about 40-45 feet. There were some nervous moments when the line seemed stuck but it came out eventually. He also collected a bunch of hair from the sink line. He explained that all the drain lines meet up and that's why he ran the shower, sink, and bathtub taps to see if they all drained properly and didn't back up the shower drain. Job done! Fred and his helper were professional and took the effort to lay down rags, buckets, and plastic sheets to keep surfaces protected and clean. Had to pay extra for the sink snaking but it was understandable. Fair pricing overall. They accept cash, check, and Zelle. After my own attempts to remedy the situation, it was clearly a job for the pros. I'm glad I contacted Fred and American Ace Plumbing. Like most of the other reviews here, very happy with the service and would recommend them 100%. read more

I've never done a tankless water heater flush before. Ours is due, and glad that I came across their service. The job is straightforward. Fred showed up on time, set up his kit, and all was done in about 45 min. Spent time chatting with him during the cleaning process. Seem like a very nice and respectable professional. I recommend Fred if you need the same service. Very reasonable pricing as well! Other quotes I received were surprisingly high. read more
