No more playing thermostat roulette or piling on blankets because half your house won’t warm up. Your system runs quietly and consistently, delivering the comfortable temperatures you’re paying for without the repair headaches that drain your time and money.
When we finish the job, your furnace works like it should – heating every corner of your home efficiently while using less energy than it did before the problem started.
AME Plumbing Heating and Cooling has kept Point Pleasant families warm since 2008. We’re the local heating contractors who understand exactly what New Jersey winters throw at your HVAC system because we live through them too.
Our licensed technicians know how Point Pleasant’s coastal climate affects furnaces – from salt air corrosion to humidity swings that stress components. We’ve diagnosed every furnace problem these neighborhoods see, from century-old homes near the inlet to newer developments inland.
You’re hiring neighbors who respond when you call, not some distant call center that puts you on hold. We built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time, and that’s how we plan to keep it.
We start by listening to what your heating system is doing wrong and schedule a time that works for your schedule. Our technician arrives prepared with diagnostic tools and the most common repair parts, so we’re not making multiple trips.
During inspection, we check your entire system – not just the obvious problem – because small issues often cause bigger failures down the road. You get a clear explanation of what’s broken and an honest price before we touch anything.
Once you approve the repair, we fix it right and test everything to make sure your heat works properly in all zones. We clean up our work area and explain what caused the problem so you can spot warning signs early. Most repairs are completed the same day because nobody should wait for heat in winter.

We repair all furnace types – gas, electric, and oil systems from every manufacturer you’ll find in Point Pleasant homes. Whether you have a high-efficiency condensing unit or a reliable older system that’s been heating your family for decades, our technicians know how to fix it.
Point Pleasant’s location between the ocean and inland areas creates unique challenges for HVAC systems. Salt air accelerates corrosion, humidity changes stress components, and temperature swings from nor’easters test every part of your heating system. We’ve seen how these conditions affect different furnace brands and models throughout Monmouth County.
Our service covers everything from quick fixes like clogged filters and faulty thermostats to major repairs like heat exchanger replacement and complete system overhauls. We also provide 24/7 emergency service because heating failures don’t wait for convenient times – especially during those sudden cold snaps that catch everyone off guard.
Most furnace repairs in Point Pleasant run between $150-$600, depending on what’s actually broken and which parts need replacement. Simple problems like thermostat issues or dirty filters cost much less than major component failures like blower motors or control boards.
We give you the exact price upfront – no surprises or “additional charges discovered during repair.” Our trucks carry the most common parts, so you’re not paying extra trip charges or waiting days for special orders on routine repairs.
The repair-versus-replace decision depends on your furnace’s age and overall condition. We’ll tell you honestly whether spending money on repairs makes sense or if you’d be better off investing in a new, more efficient system that will save money long-term.
Dirty filters top the list – they restrict airflow and make your system work harder while heating less effectively. We also see frequent thermostat malfunctions, pilot light issues in older gas furnaces, and ignition problems when systems fire up after sitting idle all summer.
Point Pleasant’s coastal environment creates specific problems like corroded outdoor components, ductwork issues from humidity, and salt air damage to metal parts. These conditions are harder on HVAC equipment than what you’d see in inland areas.
Uneven heating is another common complaint – some rooms stay comfortable while others never warm up properly. This usually indicates ductwork problems, system sizing issues, or airflow restrictions that developed over time. Many older Point Pleasant homes have oversized furnaces that short-cycle, wasting energy and wearing out components faster.
Annual maintenance before each heating season is essential, especially in Point Pleasant’s challenging coastal environment. We recommend scheduling service in early fall – after summer’s humidity stress but before you need reliable heat every day.
Professional maintenance prevents most emergency breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently. During service, we clean critical components, inspect all connections, test safety systems, and replace filters. This routine care typically extends furnace lifespan from the standard 12-15 years to 18-20 years.
Point Pleasant’s salt air and humidity changes make your system work harder than furnaces in inland areas. Regular maintenance becomes even more critical here. Plus, most manufacturers require annual professional service to maintain warranty coverage, so skipping maintenance can void your protection.
If your furnace is over 15 years old and facing repair costs that exceed half the price of replacement, a new system usually makes better financial sense. Modern furnaces are dramatically more efficient – often cutting heating costs by 20-30% compared to systems installed before 2010.
Consider replacement if you’re dealing with frequent repairs, rooms that won’t heat properly, or energy bills that keep climbing despite normal usage. Point Pleasant homes with aging furnaces often see immediate comfort improvements and lower monthly costs after upgrading to modern equipment.
We evaluate every situation honestly – sometimes a well-maintained 12-year-old furnace just needs a minor repair and will run reliably for years. Other times, an older system that’s been patched repeatedly is ready for retirement. We’ll give you the straight facts so you can make the best decision for your budget and comfort.
Absolutely – we provide 24/7 emergency furnace repair throughout Point Pleasant and all of Monmouth County. Heating emergencies don’t follow business hours, especially during those surprise winter storms that slam the Jersey Shore without warning.
Our emergency service handles complete system failures, suspected gas leaks, carbon monoxide concerns, and any situation where your family’s safety or comfort is threatened. We respond quickly and stock our trucks with common parts to resolve most emergency repairs immediately.
Emergency rates apply for after-hours, weekend, and holiday service, but we believe having heat in your home is worth the investment. We’ll always try to help over the phone first if it’s something simple, and we never charge for emergency calls that turn out to be easy fixes you can handle yourself.
Start with the basics – check your thermostat settings to make sure it’s on heat mode and set above your current room temperature. Look at your electrical panel to see if the furnace circuit breaker tripped, and inspect your filter to make sure it’s not completely clogged with debris.
If these simple checks don’t restore heat, shut off your furnace and call for professional help immediately. Never attempt to relight pilot lights yourself or investigate gas odors – these situations require trained technicians with proper safety equipment.
While waiting for service, space heaters can safely warm occupied rooms, but never use your oven, outdoor grills, or other non-heating appliances to heat your home. These create serious carbon monoxide risks. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, leave your house immediately and call the gas company before calling for furnace repair.
