About Company:
Our technicians proudly serve residential and commercial customers throughout the Lubbock area.
As a family-owned business, Earl’s Plumbing & Air always strives to live by our core values: quality, integrity, respect, generosity, and hard work. Since our plumbing company established roots in 1972, we’ve been putting customers first, never resting on our laurels.
We stay ahead of the curve, continuously training our team to install, repair, and maintain any HVAC system or plumbing system. But we never forget where we came from. Whether we’re acting as a mechanical or plumbing contractor, for a new commercial enterprise or switching a homeowner to a tankless water heater, we’ll treat every property with the full respect and care it deserves.
Earl’s Plumbing & Air has completed thousands of individual jobs both large and small, giving us the opportunity to meet and serve countless members across Texas. We can perform a wide range of services with expertise, including heating & air conditioner repair, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, gas plumbing services, water heater repair & installation, sewer and drain services, and so much more.
Even if we’re not the first plumber or HVAC technician on the job, we’ll be the last. We’ve garnered a reputation for being the second, third, or even fourth company on the scene. That’s because we’re happy to provide second opinions and to fix the problems left behind by other plumbers who didn’t get the job done right the first time.
At Earl’s, we value providing quality service for reasonable rates. Over the years and through our expansion, our core values have remained the same. Our principles and practices ensure a high quality of work and problem-solving. We always act with integrity and fairness with all of our customers. And of course, we continue to be guided by God and hope He continues to show us His grace, help us navigate our business, and keep us grounded in His truth.
