Why Homeowners Choose A&E
Not all home service companies are the same. Many have issues like late arrivals and hidden fees. At A&E, we believe you deserve more than just “fixed”—you deserve to feel confident, respected, and fully taken care of in your own home.
Here’s how we do things differently.
No Hidden Fees. No Pushy Sales.
We believe in transparent pricing and honest service. You’ll always know the cost up front—before any work begins.
We’re Local—Not a Franchise
We’re a family-owned team serving our community, not a national chain. That means personal service, fast response times, and real accountability.

"We have used A&E for the initial installation and twice yearly maintenance. Our system has never let us down, the technicians are very efficient and communicate what maintenance was done. Highly recommend A&E."

"We've been part of the Comfort Club for 5 years now. It's a great preventative maintenance deal. Our tech is so nice and pleasant to work with. He is thorough and explains things as he checks out the system."

"We have used this company for 3 years - since our move to Gresham. They have been very quick to respond to questions (we haven't had any issues to resolve) and schedule biannual maintenance services. If you need service for your furnace or AC, I highly recommend A&E."

Your Maintenance Questions Answered
Below you'll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our maintenance services. If you still have questions, feel free to reach out to us through our contact page.
When is the best time to schedule maintenance?
Here’s how to stay ahead of the seasons:
- Spring: Prepare your AC before the first 90-degree day
- Fall: Make sure your furnace or heat pump is safe and ready
- Year-round: Watch your plumbing—hidden leaks or buildup can sneak up on you
How long does a visit take?
Typically 60–90 minutes. We take our time to do it right.
Do I really need professional maintenance?
Yes. Changing a filter is great, but it doesn’t test gas safeties, refrigerant pressure, combustion levels, or electrical wear. That’s where breakdowns (and danger) hide.
Let's Keep Things Running Right
No more guesswork. No more "hope it holds another season."
