Services
HVAC Maintenance
Our comprehensive HVAC maintenance includes seasonal inspections of heating and cooling systems to ensure optimal performance. Technicians perform coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, thermostat calibration, and safety control inspections. Regular maintenance extends equipment lifespan, improves energy efficiency, and prevents unexpected breakdowns during peak usage months.
Plumbing Repairs
We provide 24/7 plumbing repair services for leak detection, pipe bursts, sewer line issues, and fixture malfunctions. Our technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to identify hidden leaks and perform same-day repairs for water heater failures, clogged drains, and gas line emergencies.
Indoor Air Quality
Our indoor air quality solutions include HEPA filtration systems, UV air sanitizers, and whole-house humidifiers. These technologies remove allergens, bacteria, and volatile organic compounds from circulating air, creating healthier environments for homes with pets, allergies, or respiratory-sensitive occupants.
Ductwork Repair
We specialize in sealing air duct leaks, replacing damaged duct sections, and improving insulation to enhance HVAC efficiency. Our process includes pressure testing to identify airflow issues and installing energy-efficient materials that reduce utility costs while improving temperature consistency throughout properties.
Water Heater Services
We offer tankless water heater installations, traditional tank replacements, and annual maintenance services. Our technicians diagnose heating element failures, pressure valve issues, and sediment buildup problems to ensure consistent hot water supply while maximizing energy efficiency.

So far, we've had new ducting installed for our central heating and AC, dryer vent cleaning, and annual checks of our heater and AC performed by Thompson Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Company. In each case we received prompt and courteous service from their skilled technicians. Look no farther than Thompson if you are looking for a top-notch plumbing, heating and AC company.

Great service and very affordable. My A/C wasn't kicking out the coolest air that it could and I called all around town looknig for an HVAC service provider. Being summer, it was almost impossible to get an appointment with anyone (let alone an affordable one). Thompson Heating and Air had me set up within a few days, came out, fixed the problem and will now be out bi-yearly to make sure both the heat and A/C are working at peak performance!

Excellent Heating and Air Company. The owner, Garett, is awesome as well as the people that work for him. They are professional and prompt. I had my air conditioner and heater replaced and they did a great job. I had already had 4 other companies give me an estimate before Garrett came out. They were straightforward and there was no pressure. Their pricing was competitive. I would definitely recommend them!!
