American Residential Services (ARS), operating as ARS/Rescue Rooter, is the largest provider of residential HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services in the United States. Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, the company maintains a nationwide network of company-owned locations staffed by over 7,000 team members. Its services span heating, cooling, indoor air quality, plumbing, drain cleaning, sewer line work, radiant barrier installation, insulation, and ventilation for both residential and light commercial customers.
The company has more than 45 years of experience in the home services sector. All service specialists undergo rigorous training and background checks before deployment. ARS operates through company-owned locations rather than a franchise model, maintaining direct oversight of service delivery across its network.
Through its ARS Cares program, established in 2016, the company has donated over $3.2 million in equipment and services to first responders, healthcare professionals, military veterans, and teachers. The firm's technical expertise covers HVAC systems, plumbing infrastructure, and electrical services - the core building systems that underpin modern residential and light commercial facilities.
