Responsive, knowledgeable, dependable, & honest. Thank you for getting out heat up & running!

Update:10/12/18
Chris S got the heat last year and remembered when he arrived today, asked if it had a problem since. He came back to do a PM on the heater and while he was waiting for me to arrive, he opened up the air conditioner to inspect it and saw the coils were filthy. Took out his hose and cleaned them. Then when done, did the heater PM and then โ€œsaid I just want to verify that ringing noise went away. Your house will cool much faster now!โ€ I really like what Princeton air offers, quality and care, diagnose and fix. Not rushing to get to the next job. Theyโ€™re so good I got the year round service plan.

Update may 2025&2026
Maurice is fantastic.
Prompt and knowledgeable. Great technician.
There was an urgent need for a mold problem to be handled in a bathroom. They quickly identified the problem, tested the seriousness, and took care of it – in a very timely fashion. They communicated with me all along the way so I could fully comprehend what was going on. All the people were very knowledgeable, pleasant and accommodating. My experience with them was excellent, and I would highly recommend them.
Eric M. was prompt, professional, courteous and quite helpful. I become a better consumer when I understand the problem & possible solutions. Eric was willing to answer my questions and made me feel secure that he would follow up to help fix our problem.

Notice a problem with the humidity in my home, called and got a service appointment in the same day.

Maurice Gaines who cleaned and serviced my air conditioner was fantastic! He was fast, respectful and very fast with the repairs.

He made me feel like I was getting the full respect and honesty I so needed for something so important and really appreciated the time he took to explain every and answer all my millions of questions. Also Princeton Air communications were fast and accurate , leaving no question unanswered as to timing and confirmation of appointment. Iโ€™m so happy with their staff and with Maurice- heโ€™s a gem!
Thank you!
The young man who came out to fulfill our annual service contract was extremely professional and was very thorough. Although he told us we needed a new ac unit I felt confident that he knew what he was talking about and took the right amount of time in order to make his recommendation. I want him back every year. Unfortunately I forgot his name because Iโ€™m old.

He then had Ricky call us with replacement ac unit recommendations. He was just as professional. He then took the time to visit our condo, take measurements himself and then made recommendations on what size unit to purchase. I really feel he saved us money. He was amazing.

We then were contacted by a gentleman named Steve who was a manager in the service and installation department. Itโ€™s hard to believe but he was just as good as the first two representatives and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was a true professional and a real asset to your organization. I will always use your company if I can work with this team. Keep up the great work. Thanks for allowing me to spend $8,000.its hard to believe I didnโ€™t even get other quotes because I was so happy with your team.

Recently Princeton Air did a routine maintenance check on our HVAC UNIT. The technician was Dominic McGinley. I must say Mr. McGinley was outstanding. After performing the maintenance and evaluation, he sat down with us and explained his findings in precise detail. He has also taken pictures of everything he found. Dominic was a pleasure with whom to interact. He was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He explained everything in terms that we could definitely understand. He is one of the finest technicians that has ever performed preventative maintenance on our equipment. In my estimation he has all of attributes of a first rate Service Technician. Hopefully Princeton Air just what a valuable asset he is for the company. I certainly hope to interact with him many times in the future.
We recently used Princeton Air to install a new heater. They gave us lots of options, explained each one thoroughly, they arrived promptly on installation day and did a great job. The price was the lowest of three companies I contacted for estimates. Five stars!
Always professional and informative.
We just had our A/C serviced by tech Dominic McGinley who performed a thorough spring maintenance. Dominic was very friendly and courteous. He responded in detail to all my questions spending sufficient time with me.
We had valve and service line repairs from Germaine and Bradley, as well as a toilet replacement. They were great!
Julian found an issue with the ac and resolved it. Explained what the component does that needed replacement.

Shower Problems We Diagnose and Repair

Shower issues usually fall into one of several recognizable categories.

Princeton Air’s licensed plumbers have addressed every common residential shower failure that comes up across Mercer County.

You see the showerhead dripping when the shower is off. A dripping head almost always means the valve cartridge inside the shower handle has worn, producing a slow bleed of water past the seal. Your plumber replaces the cartridge with the correct part for your valve model.

You can’t get the shower hot enough, or the temperature jumps around during use. Temperature control issues trace to the mixing valve, the cartridge inside a single-handle valve, or scale buildup in older fixtures. Your plumber diagnoses the specific component and restores reliable temperature operation.

You notice weak flow that wasn’t there before. Pressure loss at a shower is often a clogged showerhead from mineral buildup, a restricted valve cartridge, a kinked or failing supply line, or a broader pressure issue in the home. Your plumber tests through the possibilities and identifies the specific cause.

You see water pooling at your feet during a shower or notice water draining long after the shower is off. Drain problems in showers are almost always hair and soap buildup in the trap, though occasionally the issue is further down the line. Your plumber clears the blockage properly rather than relying on chemical treatments.

You see water stains on the ceiling below the shower or signs of moisture in the wall. Shower pan failures, valve leaks inside the wall, and drain line issues all produce these symptoms. Your plumber locates the actual source with the minimum wall or ceiling access needed for the repair.

You find the shower handle stuck, hard to turn, or not controlling water properly. Handle and valve problems trace to worn cartridges, broken stems, or corrosion that has compromised the valve internals. Your plumber replaces what’s failed and restores normal handle operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my shower drip when it’s off?

A dripping showerhead with the shower turned off almost always indicates a worn valve cartridge in the handle mechanism. The fix is a cartridge replacement, which is a small repair your plumber can usually complete in under an hour.

Is it normal for shower pressure to drop over time?

Gradual pressure loss is usually mineral buildup accumulating in the showerhead or the valve cartridge. Sudden pressure loss points to a failed cartridge, a kinked supply line, or a problem upstream. Either way, the situation is repairable, and a plumber can identify which cause applies.

How can I tell if my shower is leaking inside the wall?

Warning signs include water stains on the ceiling below the shower, musty smells in the bathroom, soft spots on walls adjacent to the shower, or a water bill that’s higher than usual. A plumber can confirm whether the leak is coming from the shower or another source.

Do you repair shower valves from all manufacturers?

Yes. Princeton Air’s licensed plumbers work on every major residential shower valve brand installed throughout New Jersey, including Delta, Moen, Kohler, Grohe, Price Pfister, and the older brands still found in many homes.

Can I wait to repair a slow shower drain?

Slow drains usually progress to fully clogged drains, often at inconvenient times. Addressing the drain while water still moves is faster and cleaner than addressing it after a full backup. A simple drain cleaning is typically a short service call.
