When the heat quits in January or the air gives out in July, one call reaches us. American Heating and Air Conditioning Service has worked on Oakville furnaces, boilers, central air and heat pumps since 1978, and a real person picks up the phone around the clock.
Pick the door that matches what you are living with today. Each page below goes deeper than this one, and a phone call to 203-756-5040 settles any question about where your problem belongs.
No heat, a boiler that clanks, a furnace that cycles on and off, or a water heater that runs cold. The Oakville heating page covers gas and oil equipment from repair through replacement.
Go to Oakville heatingWarm rooms, a condenser that will not start, ice on the lines, or a house with no ducts that needs cooling. The Oakville cooling page covers repair, tune ups and new equipment.
Go to Oakville coolingA yearly visit catches small faults before they become a no-heat night. Look at our maintenance plans and the cost of a replacement before you decide.
See maintenance plansAmerican Heating and Air Conditioning Service, a family owned company serving the Waterbury area since 1978. Our shop sits at 1114 Middlebury Road in Watertown, and our technicians drive to Oakville homes and businesses for repairs, seasonal service and new installations. We hold Connecticut license HTG.0386984 for heating and cooling and SHM.0005083 for sheet metal.
A typical call goes like this. You phone and a person answers. You tell us what the equipment is, what fuel it burns and what it is doing. A technician arrives ready for that system, finds the cause, explains what we found and lays out your options, from a single part to a full replacement.
From Main Street to Sylvan Lake Road and Buckingham Street, these six local landmarks mark our everyday Oakville coverage. Call with your street address to arrange service.
A Main Street barber shop and a familiar Oakville landmark. The homes and storefronts around it are part of our everyday Oakville routes for heating, cooling and maintenance.

The greenway follows Steele Brook through Watertown and Oakville. Houses on the streets near the trail get the same repair, tune up and installation service as the rest of the village.

The Watertown public primary school at 779 Buckingham Street. Buckingham Street and the neighborhoods around it are some of our most frequent Oakville calls.
View John Trumbull Primary School on Google MapsA furnace that will not ignite, a boiler that goes cold, or a thermostat that shows a call for heat and gets none. Tell us the make, the fuel and the last thing the system did.
Outdoor units that hum without starting, indoor coils that ice over, and rooms that stay warm while others are fine all point to different causes.
The same service call twice in a season means it is time to talk about the whole system, not just the next part.
One part has failed, the rest of the equipment is sound, and the system kept your house comfortable until the breakdown. A good repair buys years.
Repairs keep coming, a major component has failed, or the equipment never matched the house. We price both paths side by side and you choose. The Connecticut replacement cost guide shows the ranges.
Connecticut gives heating equipment a hard winter and cooling equipment a short, hard summer, so each system earns its own visit. Book heating equipment in the fall and cooling equipment in the spring, and follow the maker’s filter instructions in between.
Our HVAC maintenance plans put those visits on the calendar for you. Planning a smarter thermostat at the same time? See smart thermostat installation.
A new system has to fix the reason the old one disappointed you. Before we write a proposal we look at the house: where the equipment will sit, how air or hot water reaches each room, what the electrical service can carry, and what you want from the system in ten years.
Gas and oil furnaces, hot water boilers, tank and tankless water heaters, central air, heat pumps and ductless mini splits. Houses without ducts, additions and finished attics are often the best fit for ductless equipment, and we can convert oil systems to natural gas where gas service reaches your street.
It names the equipment, the work to connect it, the controls and what is covered afterward. Ask us for it in writing and compare it to any other quote you hold.
Every installation also carries our one-year parts and labor warranty. Call to confirm the offer for your project, and ask about financing when we quote.
Call 203-756-5040Review our financing options before your estimate. Your proposal spells out the equipment, our labor warranty and any registration the manufacturer requires.

Oakville’s Main Street has shops, offices and mixed-use buildings, and we service business equipment as well as homes. Describe the building and the equipment when you call so the right technician comes. Ask, too, about filtration and humidity control for a system that already runs well but leaves the air dry, dusty or stuffy.
Oakville’s factory story starts in 1852. Preservation Connecticut’s mill record says the newly formed Oakville Company, organized by a group of area brass and metal producers, took over the site to make garment hardware, paper clips and other metal fasteners. Read the Preservation Connecticut mill record.
The Scovill Brass Company bought the Oakville Manufacturing Company in December 1923, and the plant became the Oakville Division of Scovill. The record lists ordnance components and pins among its products, including the first stainless steel safety pins marketed under the Damascus name, and gives the old building’s listed name as the Old Pin Shop at 20 and 27 Main Street. The same record gives its largest workforce as 2,000 people. The town’s own history page counts the Oakville Pin Shop among products first made in Watertown. See the town history page.
The town’s Plan of Conservation and Development names Oakville and Watertown Center as the two places with Main Street commercial districts, different from general commercial areas in age, character and density. Read the plan chapter. Today the Main Street (Route 73) corridor between French Street and the Waterbury city line is the subject of a town project that will evaluate its transportation challenges. See the Main Street project.
The Oakville Branch Library on Davis Street, John Trumbull Primary School and Fire Company 2 on Buckingham Street, and the Oakville post office at 322 Main Street (listed by the Postal Service) all carry the Oakville name. The Watertown History Museum at 401 Main Street keeps a collection on the manufacturing, military, farming and arts life of Watertown and Oakville.
In Watertown, the town’s Public Works department is planning a paved greenway segment of about 3,800 feet along Steele Brook and the UNICO Field soccer fields, funded 80 percent by the federal Transportation Alternatives Program and 20 percent by the town. Read the design report or see the town project page. Also in Watertown, Sylvan Lake is a 9-acre water body in a municipal park, with a town swimming beach at its west end, according to the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station.
Oakville pairs a Main Street commercial district with residential side streets, and its buildings do not share one layout. We look at the building in front of us and quote the 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. Call 203-756-5040 at any hour. A real person answers, and emergency service is available 24/7.
Start with the season and the symptom. A cold house, a boiler that will not fire or a furnace that will not start belongs with heating. Warm rooms, an outdoor unit that will not run or air that is not cold belongs with cooling. If you are unsure, call and we sort it out on the phone.
Yes. A heat pump heats and cools, and we install both ducted and ductless systems. Whether one can carry a whole house depends on the home’s heat loss and layout, which we check on site before we quote.
Every new system installation comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty, and our standing offer takes $500 off the installation. Call 203-756-5040 and we will price your project.
Yes. Oakville is part of the Town of Watertown. We give it its own pages so you can find the heating and cooling help for your end of town, and Watertown has its own pages too.
