We all know that Virginia Beach and Hampton -- who are we kidding -- all of Virginia, has fickle weather. One day it's a breezy 50 degrees, and the next day it's 85 and eveyone is headed to the beach! You can bet that the days where temps run for more than one hot day everyone will be calling in for service. Don't get stuck waiting! A-1 American Services strives to service our customers on the same day, but when hot temps abound, sometimes it's hard reach everyone in town.

A-1 American Services is a Class A contractor, and did you know we are the ONLY FAMILY OWNED business left in the Virginia Beach area!!! We are also VETERAN and WOMEN LED.

We service both Commercial and Residential, and if we repair your unit and then it needs to be replaced, we help you to apply the cost of the repair towards replacement!

And let's not forget Plumbing!! Take a look around your house. Look at the ceilings for leaks. Look for rust. Is your hot water heater in the attic? Perhaps you would like to move it to the garage or utility closet. OR perhaps you want to convert your old water heater to a tankless water heater. We can do that! One thing our clients are always surprised to find out is that we can also do full size bathroom renovations, so if you have company coming for vacay this Summer and the shower is clogging and your toilet is clogging worse, call us and we can fit you in so that you have a fully functional bathroom!!

Happy Labor Day from A-1 American Services!

September 1, 2025

First, a little background on Labor Day and how it came to play into American history. Labor Day is celebrated to honor the contributions and achievements of American workers and the labor movement. It recognizes the role of workers in building the strength, prosperity, and well-being of the country. The Holiday began in the late 19th century, during a time when working conditions were often harsh—long hours, unsafe workplaces, and little time off were common. Labor unions pushed for better conditions, fair wages, and reasonable workdays. The first Labor Day parade took place in New York City in 1882, organized by the Central Labor Union. In 1894, after years of growing support and following major labor strikes, Congress officially made Labor Day a federal holiday. It’s observed on the first Monday in September, serving both as a tribute to workers and as a symbolic “end of summer” celebration. Not to be confused with International Workers’ Day which is celebrated May 1st worldwide and focuses more on activism and workers’ rights, Labor Day focuses more as a tribute to workers with family time, picnics, parades, and community events like our concer series at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. Hampton Roads -- which encompasses the Penninsula (Williamsburg, Newport News, and Hampton) AND South Side (Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and Suffolk) has always been a working community, from the shipbuilders at Newport News Shipbuilding, to the longshoremen at the Port of Virginia, to the military and civil service workers who keep our bases running. Labor Day really ties into that history because it’s a reminder of how much the region’s workforce has shaped the local economy and even national security. For many families here, Labor Day is also (for the lucky) the last long weekend before school starts, so you’ll see people heading to the beach at Virginia Beach, picnicking at local parks, or attending community events. It’s both a recognition of hard work and a chance for people in Hampton Roads to pause, recharge, and enjoy the fruits of their labor before the busy fall season kicks in. From the A-1 American Services family to yours... Please have a safe and happy Labor Day!! And if you find you need help with any clogs, water heater leaks, HVAC hiccups, clooged toilets our guys are standing by ready to help you and your family at a moments notice!
