A cold house in January and a warm one in July start with the same phone call. American Heating and Air Conditioning Service has repaired and installed furnaces, boilers, central air and heat pumps for Middlebury homes since 1978, and a real person answers the phone around the clock.
Three pages cover almost everything we do in town. Choose by what your house is doing right now, or call 203-756-5040 and we will point you to the right one.
No heat, a noisy boiler, a furnace that shuts off after a minute or a water heater that gives up. Our Middlebury heating page walks through gas and oil equipment, from repair to replacement.
Go to Middlebury heatingUpstairs bedrooms that will not cool, a condenser that hums but does not start, or an older house with no ducts at all. Our Middlebury cooling page covers repair, spring tune ups and new equipment.
Go to Middlebury coolingA yearly visit finds small faults before they turn into a no-heat night. See our maintenance plans, and read what a replacement costs before you decide on one.
See maintenance plansAmerican Heating and Air Conditioning Service is a family owned company that has served the Greater Waterbury area since 1978. Our shop is at 1114 Middlebury Rd in Watertown, and our technicians drive to homes and businesses across Middlebury for repairs, seasonal service and new installations. Connecticut license HTG.0386984 covers our heating, piping and cooling work, and SHM.0005083 covers sheet metal.
Here is how a call usually goes. You phone, and a person picks up. You describe the equipment, the fuel and what it is doing. The technician who comes has already heard that story, so they bring the right tools, find the cause, explain it in plain terms and give you choices that range from one part to a new system.
From Lake Quassapaug and Route 64 to the Greenway, these six local places mark the ground we cover in Middlebury. Call with your street address and we will schedule a visit.
Quassy Amusement and Waterpark sits on Lake Quassapaug along Route 64, and its rides open for the season in April, about when air conditioning tune ups belong on the calendar. Homes around the lake get the same year-round heating and cooling service as the rest of Middlebury.

Hop Brook Lake Recreation Area is a day-use park run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with a 21-acre lake and more than 7 miles of trails. Houses within reach of the park are on our routes for furnace repair, AC service and new installations.

The Middlebury Land Trust, organized in 1969, lists a Tuttle Tract among the open space it protects. Whether your house backs onto conserved land or sits in the Center, you get the same repair, tune up and installation service.

The town counts Meadowview Park among its three major parks, and it is a stop on the Middlebury Greenway. Homes around it get the same repair, replacement and yearly maintenance we offer across town.

Long Meadow Pond rounds out our local map for Middlebury. Houses in the surrounding neighborhoods are covered for furnace and boiler repair, central air and ductless installs, and seasonal tune ups.
View Long Meadow Pond on Google MapsA furnace that clicks but never lights, a boiler that runs while the radiators stay cold, or a thermostat calling for heat the house never gets. Tell us the make, the fuel and what the system did last.
A condenser that hums and never spins, an indoor coil frosted with ice, or an upstairs that lags behind the first floor. Each symptom has a different cause.
When the same system needs a second visit in one season, the real question is no longer the next part. We will go over the whole system with you.
A single part has worn out, everything else is in good shape, and the system kept you comfortable until it stopped. A sound repair can give you years more.
Repairs have become routine, a core component has failed, or the equipment was never the right size for the house. We price the repair and the replacement side by side so the choice is yours. The Connecticut replacement cost guide lays out typical ranges.
A Connecticut winter works heating equipment hard, and a short humid summer does the same to air conditioning, so each system gets its own visit. Schedule furnaces and boilers in the fall and cooling equipment in the spring, and change filters on the schedule the manufacturer gives you in between.
Our HVAC maintenance plans schedule those visits for you. If a smarter thermostat is on your list, we install those too: see smart thermostat installation.
A replacement should solve whatever frustrated you about the last system. Before we write a proposal we walk the house: where the equipment will live, how air or hot water gets to each room, what the electrical panel can carry and what you expect from the house a decade from now.
Gas and oil furnaces, hot water boilers, tank and tankless water heaters, central air, heat pumps and ductless mini splits. Homes without ducts, additions and finished attics often suit ductless equipment, and where gas service runs down your street we can convert an oil system to natural gas.
It names the equipment, the work needed to connect it, the controls and what is covered after the job. Ask for it in writing, then lay it next to any other quote.
That offer is always on, and every installation carries our one-year parts and labor warranty. Ask about financing when we quote your project.
Call 203-756-5040Browse our financing options before the estimate visit. Your written proposal spells out the equipment, our labor warranty and anything the manufacturer requires you to register.

We also service commercial heating and cooling equipment, from small offices to larger buildings. Tell us about the building and the equipment when you call so the right technician arrives. If a system runs fine but leaves the air dry, dusty or stuffy, ask us about filtration and humidity control.
The state legislature set up a separate Middlebury ecclesiastical society on December 29, 1790, and the first church was finished four years later on the green, according to the National Park Service’s National Register nomination for the Middlebury Center Historic District. The same document says the town was incorporated in 1807. Read the National Register nomination.
The nomination describes a green of about two thirds of an acre with churches, schools, the library and the town hall built around it since the late 18th century. Roads that once met in the middle, including Whittemore Road (Route 188), were re-routed around its edge, and the green took its present size and shape in 1870. Route 64 is the main road that bypasses Middlebury Center. Westover School was built from 1906 to 1909 to a design by Theodate Pope Riddle. See the same nomination.
Quassy’s own history page says a trolley line was put through Middlebury by 1908 and Lake Quassapaug became a summer resort, and that the park was first called Lake Quassapaug Amusement Park. It also names three Waterbury businessmen, John Frantzis, Mike Leon and George Terezakis, as the buyers of the property in 1937. Read Quassy’s history. The park says its rides and waterpark open for the season in April, with full summer hours starting in May. Visit the Quassy site.
The town’s Greenway history says the idea of a walkway along an old trolley bed was spearheaded in 1990 by First Selectman Edward B. St. John, and that the former trolley route ran from the Waterbury town line to Lake Quassapaug. See the Greenway history. The town’s Living Here page counts Meadowview Park as one of its three major parks. Read the Living Here page. A memorial project there, the Rochambeau Memorial Plaza, commemorates the encampment of General Rochambeau’s army in Middlebury during the Revolutionary War. See the project on the Historical Society page.
Recreation.gov says Hop Brook Lake Recreation Area lies within the towns of Middlebury, Naugatuck and Waterbury, covers 536 acres and no longer charges an entrance fee. Read the Recreation.gov listing. The Corps of Engineers describes a day-use park with swimming and picnicking facilities, athletic fields, picnic shelters and over 7 miles of hiking trails around a 21-acre lake. See the Corps Lakes page. The Middlebury Land Trust was organized in 1969 by residents to help preserve the town’s natural areas, and its holdings list includes a Tuttle Tract and a Tuttle-Kernan Tract. Read the holdings list.
The Middlebury Historical Society is at 4 Library Road and says it is normally open most Mondays from 2 to 5, so call ahead before you visit. See the Historical Society page. Dr. Robert L. Rafford has served as municipal historian since October 2001. Read the historian’s page. Town Hall is at 1212 Whittemore Road, and Parks and Recreation works out of the Shepardson Community Center at 1172 Whittemore Road. See the department listing.
A town with a green that has held churches and a school since the late 18th century, a school built in 1906 to 1909 and lake roads reached by trolley in 1908 does not have one house style. We look at the building in front of us, measure what it needs and quote equipment that fits it.
Five-star reviews from homeowners across Greater Waterbury.
These guys are amazing! Frank was on time, very kind, and very knowledgeable. He diagnosed our issue extremely quickly and was able to fix it for an incredibly reasonable price. Perhaps more important, he went above and beyond to assuage our anxiety as new homeowners, and took the time show us how use our system efficiently in order to save money and reduce future stress on our equipment. We will continue to use American for all our HVAC needs
Brian P.I want to start off by saying this company now has a lifetime customer. After having an emergency with our central air unit leaking and calling every company in the truck state area including our previous company of choice, American Heating was the only company that was able to fit us in same day and get the job done at a very reasonable price. We will only use this company going forward for all our heating and cooling needs. Thank you for the quick service.

Yes, around the clock. Call 203-756-5040 at any hour of any day and a real person answers.
Follow the symptom. No heat, a silent boiler or a furnace that will not start points to the heating page, and warm rooms or an outdoor unit that stays off points to the cooling page. If you cannot tell, call 203-756-5040 and we will sort it out by phone.
Yes, both ducted and ductless. A heat pump heats and cools, and whether one can carry your whole house depends on the heat loss and layout of the home, which we measure at the house before we quote.
A one-year parts and labor warranty and $500 off the installation price. The $500 is always on, and the warranty covers every new system we install. Call 203-756-5040 for a quote on your project.
