The units are on the more expensive side but that's common on island I suppose. However, they charged quite a bit to install my window unit which wasn't so much of an install rather than just sliding out the old unit and sliding the new one in. After about 3-4 months with my new window AC unit it began leaking quite a bit of water out the back. When I called American AC they informed me it was normal because of the humidity. Didn't think anything of it.
A week or so later the air conditioner began leaking inside my apartment. Again I called American air and eventually they sent someone to confirm what I had already told them on the phone. They told me there's nothing they can do and to work it out with the manufacturer. So for the last 2 weeks I've been having to go through the manufacture who then outsources to other local AC companies and it's just been a mess. Long story short I wouldn't really recommend.

Just had my air conditioner cleaned by American Air Conditioning. Bought my air conditioner from them about 5 years ago. Keith and BJ did an excellent job! Very professional and knowledgeable. My air conditioner runs like new again! I would highly recommend them to anyone! And would definitely buy my next air conditioner from them again!

Great for new systems only. I probably wouldn't use them for repairs. We were in the market for 1 or maybe 2 new units, and also to maintain two existing split units. They basically told us to just replace the units we have and not to try to maintain them because if they start digging around, they might break something and you can't get replacement parts because our old units are about 13 years old.
We decided to just leave those alone and get quotes on the new units. We got 2 additional quotes, and this place was actually our lowest quote so we went with them. It did take a while to schedule the installation, but that's because they are busy. And a busy business in Hawaii usually means they have a good reputation. As long as it isn't an emergency, this place is professional and friendly.

I am a very long time customer. Clayton is the best in the business and their crew is sharp and neat. I never hesitate to recommend American Air Conditioning (Hawaii) for my air conditioning needs. I can't tell you how pleased we are with our living area unit that we had installed a few years ago. Now, the entire house can be cooled when necessary. The units are extremely quiet.

I've been a customer for 10 years now. This is my 3rd Friedrich AC from them. The technicians are great. They're quick and do a good job. The only problem with AAC is that they're about as expensive as they can be. So, if you like spending a lot of money, go with AAC.
