Family-owned Same Day Heating, Cooling, Plumbing offers fast, reliable AC repair and installation services, heater repair & installation, and now plumbing services, in San Diego County. Our promise to you is always that if we do not fix your system the SAME DAY we arrive… you DON’T pay the service fee. Our home service experts are licensed and insured with more than 100 years of leadership experience. Additionally, we back all of our installation and replacement services with a 24-month, 100% satisfaction guarantee.

"This place is a scam- DO NOT TRUST THEM! Just pay the extra and work with a BBB accredited company. We are extremely dissatisfied with the service we received today. We hired someone to save us time during a large demo project, but wish we just did it ourselves from the beginning to save time and headache. Based on the company's assessment, we were informed that our dryer vent had a significant blockage, so severe that it would require tearing out walls or possibly going through our new roof. We were obviously concerned about the potential cost and disruption. But don't worry, they're a construction company too... a little too convenient However, after the technician left, my husband decided to inspect it himself since we just had it cleaned within a year ago. Within an hr, he was able to clean out a considerable amount of lint, but there was no actual blockage obstructing the vent. In fact, as you can see in the attached photograph, a standard dryer vent cleaning tool could pass straight through the hose from the front to the back. Not to mention, there is plenty of air coming through the vent and none coming back into the home."

At American Construction, Plumbing and Electric, we’re a full-service remodeling and construction company proudly licensed in General Contracting, Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC. With all trades handled in-house, we provide streamlined project execution from start to finish—eliminating the delays and miscommunication that come with outsourcing. Backed by over 30 years of combined experience between our business partners, we deliver professional, code-compliant work across all phases of residential and light commercial construction. From kitchen remodels to full home renovations, we’re your one-stop solution for quality craftsmanship and reliable service.

"We originally wanted to wait until our spa was fully finished to leave a review, but we just had to rave about Gabe and his team. They have been SO easy to work with—and when you’re opening a second spa location in San Diego, easy is everything. Gabe moved fast (he’ll be done by Monday—EEK!), and for business owners, time is money, so having a contractor who’s in and out efficiently is HUGE. During the project, he discovered some mold in the building. Not only did he notify the property owners immediately, but he also took care of the remediation, followed all proper protocols, and handled it all on his own. We’re forever grateful for how quickly and professionally he resolved it. Honestly, our favorite thing about working with Gabe is how he consistently goes above and beyond—especially in ways we didn’t expect, which meant a lot to us as two female business owners. We never once felt taken advantage of, which sadly can be a rare experience in this industry. To give you an idea of how fast he worked: our space includes five treatment rooms, two storage rooms, a kitchen, an office, and a lobby. He redesigned and completed the whole buildout in just over a month. He’s also a great communicator—sending us frequent updates, photos, and videos of the progress, which gave us so much peace of mind since we couldn’t always be on-site. His pricing is incredibly fair and, in our opinion, makes him unmatched in this industry. His work is impeccable, and it doesn’t break the bank. We truly could not recommend Gabe and his team more!"

For over 30 years, CPL Detection has been providing high quality Leak Detection and Underground Utility Detection for business, government and residential clients throughout Southern California. In fact, we were the first utility locating and leak detection service in all of San Diego County. Additional email: [email protected]

"I had a plumber recommend CPL as we are having tenting of our kitchen tiles. I set up the appointment and was given a window of 1 to 4 pm for tech arrival. When I hadn't heard anything at 3:50 pm, I called the service, and they said their technician was held up at another home and would be arriving between 4-5 pm. He actually arrived at 5:35 pm. So thinking they would arrive between 1 and 4 pm we weren't able to use our kitchen, which was a huge inconvenience, not being able to prepare lunch or dinner. The tech finished his work after 7pm so we had to buy dinner. However, they easily billed me $395.00, and when I inquired about offering a discount for the inconvenience, they stated that they could not provide a discount. How difficult is it for a business to provide a 5-10% discount for an inconvenience like what we went through? I would not recommend CPL, as it already felt like the cost for the service they provide is overly expensive and they overcharged me. Select someone else."

Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts

Homeowners in San Marcos should factor in the area’s hard water, which can shorten the lifespan of pipes and fixtures, making water softener installation a smart move. Expansive clay soil and hillside properties can impact underground plumbing, so soil testing may be needed. Earthquake-prone conditions mean securing water heaters is essential, and ongoing drought conditions may restrict certain plumbing upgrades or outdoor water features.

Helpful?

New homeowners in San Marcos should start with a comprehensive plumbing inspection, focusing on pipe integrity and water pressure. Inspecting sewer lines with a camera is crucial for older homes, and testing backflow prevention devices helps safeguard water quality. Upgrading to low-flow fixtures and installing a water softener address local water challenges, while a smart leak detection system offers added security against hidden leaks.

Helpful?

For a seamless plumbing project in San Marcos, confirm all required permits are secured before work begins and coordinate with utility providers to prevent service disruptions. Schedule projects during drier months to avoid weather-related setbacks. Review neighborhood guidelines for any HOA restrictions, and communicate with neighbors about potential noise or water shutoffs. Early planning for inspections helps prevent delays and ensures compliance with local standards.

Helpful?

When hiring a plumbing pro in San Marcos, prioritize those with experience handling local soil conditions and older infrastructure. Confirm they’re licensed, insured, and bonded for your protection. Ask for references from recent projects in your neighborhood and review their track record with complex tasks like pipe replacement. Clarify upfront who manages permits and inspections to avoid confusion during your plumbing project.

Helpful?

In San Marcos, homeowners are embracing water-saving plumbing projects such as whole-home water filtration systems and recirculating pumps for instant hot water. Contemporary fixture upgrades, like wall-mounted faucets and touchless controls, are gaining traction. Outdoor plumbing for kitchens and fire pits is also popular, especially for entertaining. Many are also choosing smart leak detection systems tailored to the region’s water conservation priorities.
