Camino HVAC, Plumbing Specialists Since 1981

Camino sits above 3,000 feet in the pines along the Apple Hill corridor, and that elevation changes everything about how a home is heated. Winters bring real snow and long stretches below freezing, so a heat pump alone often is not enough and many homes here run propane furnaces, wood heat, or a hybrid setup. Summers stay milder than the valley floor but still reach the 90s. American Energy Home Pros has served Northern California homes since 1981, and our licensed technicians (License #1083187) are used to Camino’s steep driveways, crawlspace ductwork, and freeze exposed plumbing runs. Whether a furnace quit during a storm or a supply line split overnight, we cover Camino for both HVAC and plumbing.

Camino HVAC, Plumbing Questions

Quick answers to common HVAC and plumbing questions from Camino homeowners. Don’t see what you need? Call us anytime.

Do you service Camino and the Apple Hill area?

Yes. Camino is part of our regular El Dorado County route along with Placerville, Diamond Springs, and Pollock Pines. Winter storms slow access on steep private drives, so we schedule mountain calls with extra travel time built in.

What heating system works best at Camino’s elevation?

Above 3,000 feet a straight heat pump loses capacity on the coldest nights. Most Camino homes do best with a propane or gas furnace, or a dual fuel setup that runs the heat pump in mild weather and switches to the furnace when temperatures drop. We size to your actual heat loss, not a rule of thumb.

How do I keep my pipes from freezing up here?

Carter from American Energy exceeded my expectations for a standard inspection. He left our HVAC system looking bright and shiny! He called before and was able to come by early. Really appreciated that!

Greg Rangel was on time, gave me a courtesy call before he arrived, and once he arrived, he called to find out the issues with the AC and got to work. Greg provided me with information about the AC unit after he found out what was happening, and he walked me through the process and the cost! He also changed the filter! I am now a member due to his outstanding customer service. Thank you, Greg, for your professionalism.

This company responded immediately to address an air conditioning problem for my elderly Mother during 100 degree heat. They responded in just a couple of hours. Greg Rangel was the technician and fixed the problem. He did explain the unit was older and would soon need replacement. He thoroughly explained this to me and offered a senior discount for my Mother and a lower priced unit. Job well done and thank you.

Truly professionals. Garrett showed up at scheduled time, answered all my questions and did a thorough inspection of my unit. Never felt pressured or like I was trying to be sold on anything. He explained everything along the way. An issue was found on some wiring outside, I was shown the issue and given the option to have it fixed. He showed me the completed work and the material used. I would highly recommend this locally owned and operated company.

Greg arrived late Saturday evening and worked out the problem. He explained the problem and eventually determined it began with the original set up of the thermostat, which was wrong for a heat pump. The problem was fixed, and great credit to Greg for being enthusiastic, professional and staying until it was done.

We have had a great experience with everyone from American Energy. Today we had David, and he is a very nice young man, respectful, knowledgeable and very professional. I would recommend this company to all my friends and family.
