Your Local Palmetto Bay Plumbing & AC Company
Sunny Bliss has been working in Palmetto Bay since before it became a Village. We were doing plumbing and AC service in this stretch of South Miami-Dade in 1990, back when most of what’s now incorporated Palmetto Bay was still unincorporated county. When the Village officially incorporated in 2002, the housing stock had already started changing — old 1950s and 60s estates along Old Cutler Road getting renovated or rebuilt, larger ½-acre to 1-acre lots becoming the norm, and the demographic shifting toward the professionals, doctors, lawyers, and executives who define Palmetto Bay today.
We know the full range of Palmetto Bay properties intimately. The historic 1950s-60s estates along Old Cutler Road with their original copper supply, cast iron drain stacks, and the kind of mature landscaping that wraps around 75+ feet of sewer lateral. The 1970s-80s ranch homes in the middle of the Village. The 1990s-2000s rebuilds with first-generation CPVC and PEX entering replacement window. The new construction along Old Cutler Bay Drive and near Coral Reef Park where multi-zone HVAC, tankless water heaters, and whole-house filtration are standard.
We pull permits through the Village of Palmetto Bay Building Services Department — separate from Miami-Dade County’s process — and we know which inspectors will catch you on the cleanout depth, which on the gas line bonding, and which on the AC equipment clearances. We’re licensed and insured in Florida (verify our plumbing license CFC1433145 and AC license CAC1823405 with the state). We’re not the cheapest Palmetto Bay plumber you’ll find. We’re the one Palmetto Bay homeowners and property managers call when they want it done correctly the first time.
Plumber & AC Specialists Serving Palmetto Bay Homes
Palmetto Bay homes have a particular service profile, and we plan for it. Most properties here are large single-family on ½-acre to 1+ acre lots — multi-zone HVAC systems (often 3-5 ton with 2-4 zones), tankless or 75+ gallon water heaters, full irrigation systems, pool and spa equipment, outdoor kitchens with gas service, and whole-house water filtration on top of Miami’s notoriously hard 383 ppm water. Bay-front properties along Old Cutler Bay Drive and the homes nearest Thalatta Estate face additional salt-air corrosion on AC condensers — we account for that in every system spec.
Our licensed Palmetto Bay plumbers handle drain cleaning and hydro jetting, emergency plumbing, slab leak detection, sewer line repair, repipes, gas line installation, water heater repair and replacement, and whole-house water filtration. Our AC technicians work on every major brand — Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Bosch, Mitsubishi mini-splits — with same-day AC repair and proper humidity-load sizing for Palmetto Bay’s bay-adjacent climate. Same day in most cases. Flat-rate quotes before we start.
24/7 Emergency Plumbing & AC Repair in Palmetto Bay, FL
Palmetto Bay emergencies have a pattern. Slab leaks on copper pipe original to a 1960s Old Cutler estate. Sewer backups during the rainy season when the long laterals can’t keep up with the mature root systems. AC compressors that finally quit during the worst week of August. Tankless water heaters that won’t restart after a power flicker. Bay-side condenser failures from salt-air corrosion. Whatever it is, we’d rather come out at 9 PM tonight than have you wake up to a flood at 6 AM.
We answer 24/7 at (305) 504-6091. No overtime charges. Most emergency calls in Palmetto Bay get a tech on site within 30 to 60 minutes — our Pinecrest office is about 5 minutes from central Palmetto Bay, faster if a tech is already working nearby in Pinecrest or Cutler Bay. Honest disclosure: when call volume is heavy during heat waves, the rainy season, or after a tropical storm, we may not be able to get to every emergency immediately. We’ll tell you up front when we can be there.
What Does Plumbing or AC Service Cost in Palmetto Bay?
Honest answer: it depends on what you’re dealing with. Palmetto Bay service tickets run on a wide range because the housing stock is so varied — a faucet repair in a 1990s ranch is one number, a slab leak diagnosis on a historic Old Cutler Road estate is another, and a full repipe with PEX through a multi-bath bay-front home is a different conversation entirely. What we won’t do is quote you a fake number over the phone to get the job, then surprise you on the invoice.
Here’s what actually drives the cost:
Diagnostic vs. repair. We charge a diagnostic fee on the first visit. If you authorize the repair, that diagnostic fee comes off the final invoice.
Standard hours vs. emergency. Same-day during business hours runs at standard rates. After-hours and weekend emergency calls don’t have overtime charges, but parts pickup timing may affect when we complete the work.
Village of Palmetto Bay permits. Palmetto Bay permits through its own Building Services Department — not Miami-Dade. Water heater swaps, gas line work, sewer line repairs, AC equipment replacements, and most repipes all require permits. We pull them, schedule inspections, and pass the cost through at fees — not marked up.
Equipment selection. A Bradford White 50-gallon vs. a Navien tankless vs. a Rinnai with a recirc loop — different homes, different needs, different prices. Same with AC: a builder-grade 3-ton unit is one thing, a Trane variable-speed system with proper humidity control for bay-side homes is another.
Salt-air condition for bay-front properties. Homes along Old Cutler Bay Drive, near Deering Estate, and the bay-adjacent stretches see more electrical and coil corrosion. Diagnostics sometimes uncover more than the original complaint — we’ll show you what we found and what it costs before doing anything beyond the original scope.
Comfort Club members. Bronze, Silver, and Gold members get priority scheduling, no dispatch fee, and 10-15% off repairs depending on plan tier.

Sunny Bliss Comfort Club Membership
Palmetto Bay homes are a long-term investment, and the plumbing and AC systems that keep them running need ongoing attention — not just emergency calls. The Sunny Bliss Comfort Club gives Palmetto Bay homeowners priority scheduling, regular maintenance visits, and member-only discounts that pay back the membership cost on a single repair.
For Palmetto Bay specifically, the maintenance visits matter because the homes here are bigger and the systems are more complex than average. Multi-zone AC needs real twice-yearly service, not a quick coil rinse. Tankless water heaters with recirc loops need annual descaling on Miami’s hard water. Bay-front properties need extra attention on coil corrosion and electrical contacts. Pool equipment ties into plumbing in ways that need to be inspected, not ignored. Bronze covers the basics. Silver adds water hardness testing, pressure testing, and a tank water heater flush. Gold adds tankless flushes and a free sewer camera inspection — worth $400-600 on its own given the long sewer laterals in Palmetto Bay.
Our Plumbing & AC Services
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Palmetto Bay’s biggest plumbing call. Half-acre to one-acre lots mean 75 to 150 feet of sewer lateral running under decades-old landscaping — and tree roots find every joint. We hydro jet, camera inspect, and clear blockages without trenching through your yard. Trenchless repair when the line is past cleaning.
LEARN MOREWater Heater Repair & Install
Palmetto Bay homes run heavy on tankless because of the multi-bath layouts. We service Navien, Rinnai, Bradford White, AO Smith, Rheem, and Bosch — repair, replacement, descaling (essential on Miami’s 383 ppm hard water), full installs, and tank-to-tankless conversions when they make sense.
LEARN MOREAC Maintenance
Palmetto Bay AC runs 9-10 months a year on multi-zone systems. Bay-front and Old Cutler-adjacent homes need real twice-yearly maintenance to catch salt corrosion before it becomes a refrigerant leak. We service all major brands.
AC Repair
Same-day diagnosis on systems not cooling, leaking water, freezing up, or short-cycling. Every major brand — Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Bosch, Mitsubishi. We don’t push replacements when a repair makes sense.
Emergency Plumbing
24/7 dispatch for slab leaks, burst pipes, sewer backups, water heater failures, and gas line emergencies. No overtime charges. 30-60 minute response across Palmetto Bay from our Pinecrest office.
Indoor Air Quality & Duct Cleaning
Palmetto Bay humidity loads are real — big homes, year-round AC, pet and landscape allergens. We handle UV sterilization, dehumidifier installs, duct sealing, and proper IAQ assessment for homes with mold or allergen issues.
LEARN MOREFrequently Asked Questions
Yes — almost always. Our Pinecrest office is about 5 minutes from central Palmetto Bay, so we can usually get a technician to your house the same day you call. We work Palmetto Bay and Pinecrest daily, plus Cutler Bay and South Miami. During heat waves and rainy-season weeks we may push some non-urgent calls to next morning, but you’ll get a real ETA when you call (305) 504-6091.
Slab leaks (common in older Old Cutler Road estates with original copper), sewer backups in the long laterals running under mature landscaping, burst supply lines, tankless water heater failures, gas leaks, sewer line breaks, and overflowing toilets. We answer 24/7 with no overtime charges. Most calls get a tech on site within 30-60 minutes.
Twice a year minimum, and we mean real maintenance — not a quick coil rinse. Spring tune-up before the heavy cooling season and fall service to catch summer wear. For bay-front Palmetto Bay homes with salt-air exposure (Old Cutler Bay Drive, Deering Bay area), a third visit during peak summer is often worth it. Our Comfort Club includes the visits at member rates.
Yes — repair, descaling, replacement, and full new installs. Tankless is common in Palmetto Bay because of the multi-bath estate layouts. We work on Navien, Rinnai, Rheem, and Bosch. Descaling is essential on Miami’s hard water — we recommend it annually for any Palmetto Bay tankless install, not optional. We also do tank-to-tankless conversions when they make sense, and we’ll tell you honestly when they don’t.
Slow drains in multiple fixtures (not just one), gurgling from toilets when you run a shower, sewer odor in the yard, and any backup that recurs after a “clog clear.” With 75-150 foot sewer laterals running under mature Palmetto Bay landscaping, you almost certainly have at least one tree root system tapping into the line. A camera inspection ($400-600) tells you exactly what’s happening down there — much cheaper than digging blind.
Yes. Flat-rate quotes before any work starts. No hourly billing surprises, no parts markups you didn’t see coming, no “while we were in there” charges that didn’t get pre-approved. If the scope changes mid-job because we found something behind drywall or under a slab, we stop and talk to you first.
Yes — and this is one of the most under-treated issues in Palmetto Bay. Big homes, high humidity load (especially bay-adjacent), year-round AC use, pet and landscape allergens equals real IAQ problems. We do dedicated dehumidifier installs, UV sterilization on the air handler, duct cleaning and sealing, and proper IAQ assessment. If anyone in your family has allergies or asthma, it’s worth a real conversation.
