American Residential Services (ARS/Rescue Rooter) provides heating, air conditioning, indoor air quality, plumbing, drain cleaning, electrical, and sewer services for residential and light commercial customers, delivered through a nationwide network of company-owned locations. Formed in 1980 by consolidating local and regional service companies, ARS later joined Rescue Rooter under shared ownership by ServiceMaster in the late 1990s, and is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, with operations across 24 states and Washington, DC. The company emphasizes trained professionals and consistent service standards, backed by an Exceptional Service Guarantee to address customer concerns. Growth has been driven by partnerships and acquisitions, including a majority investment by GI Partners in 2020 alongside Charlesbank Capital Partners and company management. ARS Cares supports community initiatives, including providing free HVAC systems and water heaters to selected community heroes, and contributions to organizations such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Tim Tebow Foundation, among other local efforts.
