Plumbing Services in Cincinnati, OH

More Than HVAC, We Also Handle Plumbing

Your home’s plumbing and your HVAC system work together to keep every part of your home running. Air Plus has been serving Greater Cincinnati homeowners with plumbing repair, water heater installation, and whole-home plumbing solutions since 1993, with the same licensed team you already trust for heating and cooling.

Our Certified Plumbing Services

Home Plumbing Services

Air Plus handles the full range of residential plumbing repairs and installations that keep your home running day to day, including hose bibs, garbage disposals, toilets, and faucets across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Upfront pricing before any work begins, backed by our standard labor warranty.

Water Heaters

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters deliver hot water on demand without the standby energy loss of a tank system, which can account for up to 30 percent of your water heating costs. Air Plus installs and services tankless systems and can help you determine whether your home’s gas supply and usage patterns make tankless the right choice.

Water Softeners

Greater Cincinnati’s water supply contains mineral hardness that causes scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and appliances, reducing efficiency and shortening their service life. Air Plus installs whole-home water softener systems that treat water at the point of entry so every fixture in your home benefits.

Water Filtration

Air Plus installs whole-home water filtration systems that reduce contaminants, sediment, chlorine, and other impurities from your water supply. Our technicians help you select the right system based on a water quality assessment for your specific home and municipal water source.

Sump Pumps

A functioning sump pump is the only thing standing between a heavy Cincinnati rain and a flooded basement. Air Plus installs, repairs, and replaces sump pumps across Greater Cincinnati and can assess whether your current system has the capacity to handle your basement’s drainage load. Annual inspection is recommended before the spring rain season.

Backflow Testing

Backflow testing is required by law in many Greater Cincinnati municipalities. Air Plus provides certified backflow testing and handles all required reporting to your local water authority. If your backflow preventer fails testing, our technicians can repair or replace it on the same visit.

Certified & Trusted Quality

Locally Owned

Plumbing problems do not wait for a convenient time. By the time a water heater fails, a sump pump stops working, or a leak cannot be ignored, the urgency is immediate.

Our services cover water heater installation and repair, tankless water heaters, water softeners, water filtration, sump pumps, backflow testing, and residential plumbing repairs, including faucets, toilets, garbage disposals, and gas line work.

Trusted Since 1993

Air Plus has provided plumbing services to Greater Cincinnati homeowners since 1993. We have learned that the best time to address a plumbing problem is before it escalates, and that the same standards we hold on HVAC calls apply to every plumbing visit we make. 

Every plumbing technician on our team is licensed, insured, and held to the same upfront pricing and quality workmanship standard that Air Plus has built its reputation on since 1993.
One call covers it all.

Why Cincinnati Homeowners Trust Air Plus for Plumbing

Your plumber and your HVAC contractor are the same team. That is not common. It should be.

Upfront Pricing Before Any Work Begins

Our plumbing technicians diagnose the problem, explain it in plain language, and present a complete cost estimate before any work starts. You approve the price first. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no pressure to choose a more expensive option than your situation requires.

The Same Trusted Team for Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling

When you call Air Plus for a plumbing issue, you are working with the same company that has serviced your furnace and air conditioner since 1993. You do not need a separate plumber, a separate HVAC contractor, and a separate service agreement. One call, one company, one set of standards.

Weil-McLain Authorized Dealer

Air Plus is a Weil-McLain authorized dealer, which means our technicians are trained directly on Weil-McLain water heating and boiler equipment and can install and service these systems under the full factory warranty. This is particularly relevant for homeowners with boiler-based heating systems, where water heating and space heating equipment often share the same infrastructure.

Thirty Years of Experience With Greater Cincinnati Homes

Our plumbing technicians understand the piping configurations, water quality conditions, and infrastructure common to homes in this region. Whether your home was built in the 1950s or the 2010s, we have the experience to diagnose and resolve plumbing issues without unnecessary guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing Services in Cincinnati

Does Air Plus handle both plumbing and HVAC, or do I need to call separate companies?

Does Air Plus handle both plumbing and HVAC, or do I need to call separate companies? Air Plus handles heating, cooling, and plumbing from the same team. You do not need separate contractors or separate service agreements. Our plumbing technicians are held to the same licensing, training, and customer service standards as our HVAC team. One call to (513) 769-0871 covers all three.

How do I know when it is time to replace my water heater rather than repair it?

The most reliable indicators are age and repair frequency. Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years. If your water heater is more than 10 years old, requires repairs, or has developed rust-colored water or a persistent leak around the tank, replacement is generally more cost-effective than continued repair. Our technicians perform a full assessment before making any recommendation and will always present repair as an option when it is viable.

What is backflow testing, and is it required in Cincinnati?

Backflow testing verifies that your home’s backflow prevention device is functioning correctly and preventing contaminated water from flowing back into the public water supply. Many Greater Cincinnati municipalities require annual backflow testing for homes with irrigation systems, pools, or certain commercial connections. Air Plus provides certified backflow testing and handles the required reporting to your local water authority. If your device fails testing, we can repair or replace it on the same visit.

What is the difference between a water softener and a water filtration system?

A water softener specifically targets mineral hardness, primarily calcium and magnesium, which causes scale buildup in pipes and appliances and reduces the effectiveness of soaps and detergents. A water filtration system targets a broader range of contaminants, including sediment, chlorine, bacteria, and other impurities that affect taste, odor, and water quality. Many Greater Cincinnati homeowners benefit from both, since the region’s water supply can have both hardness and filtration concerns. Our technicians can assess your specific water quality and recommend the right solution.

Does Air Plus offer financing for plumbing work, such as water heater replacement?

Yes. Air Plus offers flexible financing options through Wells Fargo Bank, FTL Finance, and Microf for qualifying plumbing projects, including water heater replacement and whole-home water treatment system installation. Options include deferred-interest plans for qualified applicants and a rent-to-own program through Microf that requires no credit check. Ask your plumbing technician about available options during your service call.

How much does a plumbing service call cost with Air Plus?

Air Plus charges a $99 service call fee that covers your technician’s visit and diagnostic assessment. Before any repair or installation work begins, your technician will present a complete cost estimate for approval. You decide whether to proceed based on the full quoted price. There are no hidden fees added after the fact. Air Plus Perks members receive discounts on parts and no trip charges on service calls, which can offset or eliminate the service call fee depending on the work needed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t be happier with the work Jon did for us. He hooked up our existing water lines and installed a new utility sink with the water line connection. He was friendly, professional, and paid great attention to detail. Everything turned out exactly as we hoped. If you need a plumber, we highly recommend Jon and the team at Air Plus Heating & Cooling!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were able to be here quickly and determined the problem promptly. The service diagnostic is very reasonable. They gave me a couple of options on a 21 year old AC and gave me their honest opinion. I appreciate that they understand my situation and are willing to help me get back up and running as soon as possible. Great company and I highly recommend them.

Update: they installed a whole new system and very professional install by Dave,Tristian, and Tony. Mike was able to get me an affordable system and he did a great job with having it installed quickly as temps will be in the 80’s next week. I couldn’t be happier with my whole experience with Air Plus.
