Repairs, repipes, water heaters and gas work — what our licensed plumbers do, and where to start.
Air & Energy has been working on houses around here since 1983. Plumbing is one of four trades we run in-house, which mostly matters on the jobs that turn out to be two trades at once — a water heater that needs a circuit it doesn't have, or a leak that has found the wiring on its way down.
This is the whole of what our plumbers do, so you can tell quickly whether we're the right call.
Repairs. Drains that run slow or back up. Leaks, from a drip under a cabinet to a wall that stays damp for no visible reason. Toilets that run, rock, or never quite finish a flush. Dripping faucets. Supply lines, angle stops, hose bibs, and the main shutoff nobody has turned in fifteen years.
Repipes. When a house has produced enough separate leaks that patching the next one stops making sense. We do those in-house.
Water heaters. Tank, tankless and heat-pump, in gas and electric. Which one fits depends on how much hot water the house actually uses, the space available, and the gas or electrical service already in place. Tankless is not automatically the right answer.
Toilet installation. New toilets, including the parts of the job that aren't the toilet — the shutoff behind it, the supply line, and the flange underneath if it has failed.
Gas. Air & Energy holds Florida plumbing and gas certification under one company license, CFC1429106 — check it yourself at myfloridalicense.com.
A licensed Air & Energy plumber does the work, in a marked truck, on our payroll. We don't subcontract. If the job needs a permit, we pull it and we close it.
Something is broken right now. Plumbing repair has its own page — drains, leaks, toilets and water lines, how a repair is billed, and how to tell a call-now from a call-Monday.
You need hot water sorted. Water heater replacement and installation covers tank, tankless and heat-pump, and what actually decides between them.
Considering tankless? See what a tankless water heater needs to work well in your home—from overlapping hot-water use to the setup already in place.
License and gas certification, pipe materials, warranty — the difference between a plumber who finds the real problem and one who just sells inventory.
Most repairs are billed time and materials — the hours the work actually took, plus the parts it actually needed. That's the model we prefer: a flat rate has to be priced for the hard version of the job, so on the ordinary version you're paying for a difficulty that didn't happen. Some work is flat rate, where the scope is genuinely predictable. Either way, you hear the scope and the billing basis before anyone starts.
There is a fee for the visit itself on a repair call, and it varies with the kind of work — ask when you call and we'll give you the number before we send anyone. Estimates for new installations are free. Our workmanship is guaranteed for one year, in writing.
Our Bradenton office is open Monday to Friday, 8 to 5, and someone here answers.
Outside those hours we run emergency service on nights and weekends. Calls go through our automated on-call system, which routes your message to the Air & Energy technician on duty — one of ours, not a call center in another state. Leave your name, number and what's happening, and the technician calls you back.
