Storm Ready, Comfort Steady Aqua Plumbing & Air does it all, and has since 1974

When hurricane season approaches, the uncertainty can be stressful. Homeowners want to feel confident they’ve done everything possible to prepare their property and protect their families. That’s where Aqua Plumbing & Air comes in. With more than 50 years of experience serving Southwest Florida, the company focuses on helping residents take smart, practical steps: before, during, and after a storm.

“Aqua’s got your back,” says Andrew Freitas, Aqua’s General Manager of Residential Service. His team’s expertise spans HVAC, plumbing, electrical, water treatment, and backup power generation. From installing and servicing whole-home generators to offering comfort protection plans and 24/7 emergency response, Aqua helps keep essential systems functioning when families need them most.

Preparation doesn’t stop at storm supplies. Regular maintenance is one of the best ways to prevent problems. “During routine AC service, we inspect all the main components,” Freitas explains. “If we notice a part starting to fail, we can fix it before it becomes a bigger problem.” That kind of proactive care saves homeowners from costly diagnostic fees and the frustration of being without air conditioning in Florida’s heat.

The same approach applies to water heaters. “When we flush and inspect your water heater, we can see inside in ways homeowners can’t,” Freitas says. “That lets us catch wear or potential failure before it leaves you without hot water.”

Plumbing is another area where small problems can turn into big headaches. “During a safety inspection under sinks and throughout your plumbing, we look for tiny drips or other issues that could grow,” says Charlie Stephens, Operations Manager for Plumbing Service. “Identifying them early prevents bigger repairs and helps protect your home.”

Aqua also understands that recovery matters just as much as preparation. After a storm, power may be out and systems may falter, but its experienced crews are ready to respond quickly and restore essential services. Through the Aqua One maintenance agreement, homeowners receive discounts, priority scheduling, and even pre-storm safety inspections.

“It’s called preparedness for a reason,” says Stephens. “We want to make sure families are ready before the storm and taken care of after.”
