AME Plumbing Heating and Cooling has been keeping Marlboro families warm for years. We’re not some fly-by-night operation or a national chain that doesn’t understand local needs.
We know Marlboro winters. We know how the cold hits in January and February, when your furnace has been running non-stop and decides to give up. We know the older homes near Big Brook Park that need special attention, and we understand the newer developments that come with their own heating challenges.

Our technician shows up with a fully stocked truck. No running around town looking for parts while you sit in the cold. We diagnose the problem thoroughly, checking everything from your pilot light to your heat exchanger, looking for the real cause instead of just treating symptoms.
Before we touch anything, you get the price. Upfront. No surprises when the job’s done. If you approve, we fix it right. If it’s something that can wait, we’ll tell you. If it’s dangerous, we’ll explain why it needs immediate attention.

Furnace repair is just the beginning. We handle everything your heating system needs to keep running reliably through Marlboro’s cold months.
Regular maintenance prevents most emergency breakdowns. We inspect your system before winter hits, catching small problems before they become expensive disasters. We clean your filters, check your electrical connections, test your safety systems—all the things that keep your furnace running when you need it most.
When repair costs start approaching half the price of a new unit, we’ll be honest about replacement options. No one wants to spend thousands on repairs for a 20-year-old furnace that’s going to break again next month. We help Marlboro homeowners make smart decisions about their heating investments.
Emergency service means we’re available when other companies aren’t. Furnaces don’t break on schedule, and neither do we. Call us at 2 AM on a Sunday in February—if your heat’s out, we’re coming.
Most furnace repairs in Marlboro get completed the same day we arrive. Emergency calls get priority—if your heat’s out in winter, we typically arrive within a few hours of your call.
The actual repair time depends on what’s wrong. Simple fixes like replacing a faulty thermostat or cleaning a clogged filter take under an hour. More complex issues like heat exchanger problems or electrical repairs might take several hours, but we carry most common parts on our trucks.
If we need to order a specialized part, we’ll set you up with temporary heat if possible and prioritize getting your permanent repair finished as soon as the part arrives. We don’t leave Marlboro families in the cold.
Your furnace usually gives you warning signs before it completely fails. Strange noises are the biggest red flag—banging, grinding, or whistling sounds mean something’s worn out or loose inside your system.
Uneven heating is another warning sign. If some rooms stay cold while others get too hot, your furnace is struggling with distribution issues that need professional attention. Rising energy bills without increased usage often indicate your system is working harder than it should to maintain temperature.
For gas furnaces, yellow pilot flames instead of blue, soot around vents, or unusual odors are serious safety concerns that need immediate professional inspection. These could indicate dangerous carbon monoxide issues that put your family at risk.
Furnace repair costs in Marlboro typically range from $150 for simple fixes like thermostat replacement to $1,500 for major component repairs. Most common repairs fall in the $300-$600 range.
The actual cost depends on what’s broken and how extensive the damage is. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. No hidden fees, no surprise charges when the job’s done.
If repair costs approach 40-50% of a new furnace’s price, especially on systems over 15 years old, replacement often makes more financial sense. We’ll be honest about when repair stops being the smart choice and help you understand all your options.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency furnace repair throughout Marlboro and Monmouth County. When your heat goes out in the middle of winter, that’s an emergency—not something that can wait until regular business hours.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling. We typically arrive within a few hours of your call, even on weekends, holidays, or in the middle of the night. Our technicians carry fully stocked trucks with the most common repair parts, so we can fix most problems on the spot.
Emergency service does include an additional fee for after-hours calls, but we’re transparent about all costs upfront. When your family’s comfort and safety are at stake, we’re here to help regardless of the time or day.
The decision between repair and replacement depends on your furnace’s age, condition, and repair history. Generally, if your furnace is over 15 years old and repair costs exceed 40-50% of a new unit’s price, replacement makes more financial sense.
Frequent breakdowns are another replacement indicator. If you’re calling for repairs multiple times per year, you’re spending more on fixes than a new, reliable system would cost. Modern furnaces are also significantly more energy-efficient than older models.
We’ll assess your specific situation honestly. If a repair makes sense, we’ll fix it properly. If replacement is the smarter long-term choice, we’ll explain why and help you understand your options without pressure or sales tactics.
Yes, our technicians are trained to service all major furnace brands including Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Rheem, Goodman, and many others. We work on both gas and electric furnaces, regardless of age or manufacturer.
We keep a comprehensive inventory of common parts for most brands on our service trucks. This means we can complete most repairs during the initial visit without having to order parts and schedule return trips.
For older or unusual furnace models, we have access to specialty parts suppliers and can typically source what’s needed within 1-2 business days. Our experience with diverse systems means we can diagnose and repair problems that other companies might struggle with.
