Our New Management
American Energy is excited to welcome new management to our company. Matthew McGuire, Jon Ward, and Ryan Nelson bring experience from HVAC, Plumbing, Tech, and Start-ups to help build on what Rick Shopek created with American Energy. American Energy was established in 1981 by Rick and has had more than 40 years of success in the greater Sacramento area. He has built a quality company with an amazing reputation for delivering the highest quality of service to some of Sacramento’s best small businesses and residents. We will continue the original vision of providing a premium customer experience to service both commercial and residential customers in the greater Sacramento area. With amazing customers and the best team, American Energy has a bright future in front of them.
Matthew McGuire started in residential and commercial plumbing back in 1997. Starting as a laborer in the residential plumbing industry, he moved through the residential and commercial trades, eventually managing one of the largest heating and cooling companies in the greater Sacramento area. Overseeing Operations and growth, he discovered his passion for building and growing teams to help deliver a quality product. Never losing sight of the hard work required in the industry, he’s always willing to get out in the field and do what needs to be done to ensure the job is done right and the customer is the priority.
Jon Ward created a career focused on customer experience. Starting with Apple in support ops, he assisted many technology companies and start-ups grow and scale. As the Head of Support and Product Quality for Nest, Level Lock, and other start-ups, he brings a deep understanding of how to build the infrastructure to create companies that center around the customer. Whether it’s talking to customers or implementing product quality programs, he just gets stuff done to create a seamless and effortless experience for the customers and the employees.
Ryan Nelson used hard work and dedication to build a career in the trades industries. Starting out building houses in Placerville, he worked on developing additional skillsets by managing accounts and business relationships in the beverage industry. Always focused on helping businesses grow and succeed, he moved into HVAC and assisted one of the largest local companies to gain market share in a very competitive space. He brings his reputation and relationships to assist American Energy with building unparalleled partnerships with businesses and homeowners.
This next chapter creates the perfect pairing of American Energy and the management group of Matthew, Jon, and Ryan. With the combined experience of the three, plus the foundation Rick and his team built, American Energy is in good hands to assist all current and future customers. The team will add resources to bring quality products at the right prices to all businesses and households in the area. We pride ourselves on our customer experience, and our commitment to never lose sight of those relationships and customers that allowed American Energy to get this far in its journey.

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.
Technician conducted a thorough inspection of the HVAC system while maintaining a friendly and positive demeanor.
I recently had an air duct cleaning and I am very happy with the results. The team was so knowledgeable and personable. I would use them again for this or other HVAC needs.
Quick scheduling and professional service. I will use them again and again. Thank you!!
Great A/C service by Garrett. He was very thorough and knowledgeable on his service. Would highly recommend.
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.
