Arlinghaus Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning

What Arlinghaus Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning does

Arlinghaus Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning is a privately held, family-owned residential home services company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Erlanger, Kentucky, with a second office in Cincinnati, Ohio (Sharonville). The company delivers a unified suite of plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical services to residential homeowners across Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana — covering 11 counties in three states. Core service categories include drain cleaning, leak detection, water heater installation and repair, sewer line replacement, furnace and AC installation/repair, mini-split systems, heat pumps, electrical inspections, lighting, EV charger installation, home rewiring, and indoor air quality solutions. Technical capabilities are centered on industry-standard field-service tooling, including HD sewer video camera inspection, high-pressure hydro jetting, and equipped service vans stocked for same-visit repair completion.

The company generates revenue through multiple streams: on-demand service and repair work priced upfront per job; equipment installation and replacement of name-brand HVAC, water heating, and plumbing systems (with customer financing for larger purchases); the Happy House Club subscription membership that offers priority scheduling, up to 20% discounts on repairs, and reduced diagnostic fees; and indoor air quality product sales (air filtration, UV systems, dehumidifiers, duct cleaning). Pricing is primarily quote-based with upfront transparency and no hidden fees, supplemented by promotional units such as an $89 cooling checkup, $98 drain unclogging, and financing offers such as new AC at $3 per day. The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer and sales-led, with field technicians diagnosing, estimating, and closing on-site; customer acquisition runs through phone/text booking, online scheduling, coupons and specials, an active referral program (Happy House Referrals), and a strong local SEO presence anchored by 6,000+ five-star customer reviews.

The business has earned sustained regional recognition, including 10 consecutive years as 'Best of NKY,' 'Best in Cincinnati' honors, 'Best of the North' from Cincy Magazine, an A+ BBB rating, and five consecutive years as Northern Kentucky's top AC & Heating company. In February 2022, Arlinghaus received an investment from Redwood Services, a home services holding company, to support growth and Midwest expansion. The company maintains licensed operations in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Maine (the latter suggesting earlier or planned geographic reach), and operates with 11-50 employees across its two offices.
