August 28, 2025 0 Comments
When a pipe bursts or your furnace goes out, you need a reliable professional you can trust. But with so many options, how do you know which company is the right choice? A five-star plumbing and HVAC company does more than just fix problems; they offer peace of mind, expert solutions, and a commitment to their community. At Ace Hi Plumbing, Heating & Air, we believe that providing exceptional service is about more than just technical skill—it’s about building lasting relationships and standing by our work. Here are the key traits to look for when choosing a company for your home’s essential systems.

A Focus on Expertise
The best companies employ true experts. Look for technicians with extensive training and a proven track record. For example, our co-owner, Rick Dowling, is a Master Plumber licensed by the State of Colorado with over 40,000 hours of training. This level of experience means he understands complex issues, like stubborn clogs, and can select the right components for the strongest, most durable solutions. A knowledgeable team can quickly diagnose problems and perform the work efficiently, whether it’s a simple repair or a comprehensive service like sewer replacement. We excel at fixing clogs, from simple sink drains to major sewer lines.
All-Inclusive Service Offerings
A great company should be your one-stop-shop for all your home comfort needs. Beyond just general plumbing, they should handle everything from faucet repairs and sewer cleaning to comprehensive HVAC services. Our team at Ace Hi handles both plumbing and HVAC, ensuring your home’s systems work in harmony. This includes everything from routine maintenance for your furnace to a complete water heater installation. We specialize in both traditional and tankless models, like Navien, so you can count on us to provide the most efficient and reliable solution for your hot water needs.
Commitment to Customer Care
Exceptional service begins with a caring attitude. A truly five-star company listens to your concerns and works to find the best solution for your specific situation. Our co-owner, Shawn Dowling, is the “heart of Ace Hi,” known for her ability to quickly identify a caller’s needs. This attentiveness ensures that service calls are efficient and effective. When you’re dealing with a home emergency, you want a team that is not only skilled but also compassionate and responsive.
Deep Community Roots
A company that gives back to its community shows a strong sense of responsibility and integrity. When a business is invested in the area it serves, it’s more likely to be trusted and respected. Rick and Shawn Dowling are committed to giving back to the community that has supported them since 1996. They have built a business that is not only a part of the Front Range landscape but also a contributing member, building a reputation for reliability and trust in cities like Fort Collins, Loveland, and Longmont.
Availability and Reliability
When a pipe bursts or a heating system fails, you need a responsive team. A top-tier company is available when you need them. At Ace Hi, we understand that prompt service is crucial. This commitment to being available during business hours, combined with our decades of experience, ensures that you can always rely on us to be there when you need us most, providing prompt, professional, and lasting solutions.
