This place is a complete ripoff, and a waste of your time. STAY AWAY. I made an appointment for a very simple job: replace an existing garbage disposal. I had the new unit myself, and the tech admitted to me that the job would take 30-60 minutes to accomplish. When I made the appointment, I specifically asked for their standard price for replacing a garbage disposal. The woman said the "managers were busy", which I now assume was probably a lie since the company clearly has a written schedule for this job that they could have easily shared. The appointment remained, and the tech showed up at my house and said this 30-60 minute job would cost... over $800. The kicker here is that they charged me $60 to show up at my house and try to rip me off. Even though I didn't want their service, they charged to have the tech come out and deliver this ridiculous estimate. I would assume they prey upon homeowners that don't have a proper understanding of basic economics and will just pay the bill no matter what it is since the tech is already there and they took time out of their day to meet them. DO NOT ENGAGE THIS DECEPTIVE BUSINESS. read more

Not a good start. After getting a revised update and wanting it in writing via email, i called the CSR and this revised estimate was not able to be located.

Awful company, tried to scam me. The guy came here and took a look, tried to charge me $1600 for a single part replacement. He said it is not worth it so insist me to replace the whole furnace and AC, which would easily cost over $10k. I let him go and did my own research. I found the broken part and purchased a similar unit for $269 (a blow motor), replaced it and now my AC is running again. Especially this technician made me feel really uncomfortable. As soon as he arrived, he told me that my furnace and AC were very old and full of problems. He even started fiddling with another completely unrelated AC unit for quite a while, then told me that one also had all sorts of issues. Between the lines, it was clear he was just trying to get me to replace everything so they could make more money. I told him the other unit had no problems. He said he didn't know, so I went and turned the switch on--only to find the unit wasn't running at the time. I told him it had been working just fine earlier. Then he said, "oh yeah? so why isn't it running?" For a moment, I even wondered if he had sabotaged something while I wasn't looking... Thankfully, he was just being a jerk with his words and didn't actually do anything. If he had done something, this wouldn't just be a one-star review situation. Yes, also, Oh, and one more thing. When it came time to charge me, he asked for $99. But I found them through a promotion that clearly states new customers only pay $59. He made no effort to mention that. It was only after I brought it up that he adjusted the price. Classic predatory behavior. Anyway, try avoiding this predatory company. read more

Best experience with a plumber in a long while. Decided to try them after some not so good experiences over the years with others. They are organized, efficient and professional in every way from the administrative offices to the technician, Harry. Really great service. read more

I had some basement flooding as a result of my sump pump failing. John C. Flood came and repaired the same day. In fact, they arrived three hours after my initial call. JP, the technician, was great. He was courteous and professional. Definitely recommend their services. read more

Plumber was fine. I just needed them to replace the plastic pump in the toilet tank. I have some disabilities and it's difficult for me to do.it myself. So the parts couldn't cost more than $25. The installation took less than 10 minutes. Charge was $450 and afterr they knocked $75 off. Don't use them for plumbing. They are just there to rip you off. I would give them a negative 100 if I could read more

Service man was courteous and knowledgeable. Provided diagnostic and recommendation to solve our issue. Cost was as defined in the appointment and well worth the expense. Certainly would use John C Flood in the future read more

John C Flood wasted my time. I made an appointment with John D Flood and they did not show up for the appointment. And they didn't call to let me know they were not coming. Then they send a "Write a Review" email to me. This shows that this company is disorganized and unprofessional. I recommend that you NOT waste your time with John C Flood. read more

Francisco Toledo did a great job. He wrote down and explained everything we needed for our HVAC.

Having already written a review of plumbing service 1/16/2026 I find the need to once again write further about the excessive costs this company charges. This time we utilized our first of 2 annual HVAC service inspections on 1/30/2026. Only positive note is that I was sent a picture of what the Technician looks like and he came in marked truck, in uniform and with shoe protectors. The HVAC air filter was due for replacement and fortunately I had purchased one on my own and had it at the ready. Next the humidifier had to be checked and the technician Behnam Shoaei told me the "water panel" needed replacement. He said he had one on his truck and due to fact we had Service Contract it would be discounted to $182. I had no clue about this panel and so agreed to purchase it as he had the whole unit opened up and needed to get the replacement done. When he was done I noted the box which the new panel came in and took a picture. After he left I did an on-line search and found I could buy (and I did) a 2-pack of the exact same brand water panel from Amazon for $32 !!! Thus....overcharged again to the tune of $166. This is pure price gouging! We will definitely not use this company again beyond finishing out our Service Contract. Now by the way, the garbage disposal and service provided (I wrote about in my review on 1/16/2026) is mail-functioning! PRICE GOUGING CONTINUED - Catherine M. read more

I was very pleased with today's plumbing repair. The technician, Jacob George, was knowledgeable, efficient, informative, and very personable, the latter of which is not usually the case with most of the people who show up to work in your home. The task was completed without any unusual delays, and there was nothing to clean up or handle when all was said and done. I'm a little out of the loop for pricing, so I can't speak to that aspect. The technician showed up soon after I was notified that he was on his way. Overall, I'm relieved to have everything fixed and functional, and I'm quite satisfied with the outcome. read more

Jose Bonilla with John C Flood is the best plumber ever! He explained everything he was doing - and get this actually saved me money by diagnosing an issue that other plumbers had said would require much more work. read more

Prices are outrageous for the the work done. We paid $1,500 to have a kitchen faucet replaced. Buyers be ware

I've used John C. Flood for all my plumbing, electrical and HVAC needs for nearly 30 years in multiple houses and apartments I've owned or rented in Arlington or Alexandria, VA. I've always been very happy with their service, price, quality of service and customer responsiveness. John C. Flood is our go-to for whenever we have a problem or need for plumbing, electrical or HVAC service. read more

I called to have my garbage disposal unit replaced, as it was leaking at the bottom. I took a picture of the unit which showed the make and the part number, so I asked if I could send it so they can check to see if they had the compatible unit in stock. The rep told me they don't need it as the technician would have to visit to diagnose for which the charge is $79. If the estimate then given is accepted, they would waive the fee. The plumber showed up on time and he took a look. I said that I researched the replacement garbage disposal online and the cost was between $100 to $200. He said it's about $150 usually. No surprises there. He then said that the issue may be whether I would accept the estimate. After punching something into his iPad, he quoted the work including the part at $810. He readily admitted that the work would only take about 30 minutes at most. So excluding the part, this company wanted $660 for a half an hour of work!! My jaw just dropped. He stated that other big companies like My Plumber and F.H. Furr cost would be comparable. I didn't call other companies, so I can't confirm that. Anyway, I told him that there was no way I would accept that estimate. He admitted the estimate was high but that it included warranty on the work and part with no further cost for any future visits. I still wasn't convinced. He then told me that he has a "friend" who could do the work for a lot less, but that wouldn't include any guarantee. This obviously was professionally less than honest. I told him so. The bottom line is that I'm out of $79 as that was the agreed on from the initial phone call. I'm thinking that the outlandish estimates are worth it if one or two is accepted for every 10 calls made, since the company gets $79 for every visit where no actual work is done. Replacing a faulty garbage disposal is DIY work for many homeowners. I didn't want the hassle, so I was willing to accept an estimate as high as $400 to $500. $810 is just plain rip off. If this is the case for other big companies, avoid all of them. Look for small outfits or handyman service. Order the replacement yourself. This is the route I'm taking. And the cost of this lesson for me was $79 and a big shock. read more

Over the years I have used a few different plumbers/heating/AC contractors in the DC area. This is the first time I have used John Flood.. I would say that the service from start to job completion was the best I have experienced. The prices are clearly quoted ahead of performing the work, prices are competitive, and the work was performed efficiently. Very satisfied with Tech Thomas Breeden who is very experienced and knowledgeable. read more

The worker was polite. That is the only positive thing I have to say. I have a heat pump and a split gas/AC unit. He seemed to hardly have looked at the heat pump, saying it was only one year old and thus was fine. When I asked him about the UV light, he said it was not working, but that he did not know much about UV lights. When it was plugged in, it worked fine. He showed me some photos of the inside of the gas heater, said it had cracks and was a threat to my health. When I pointed out that I have three CO2 detectors in my house, he said that they only monitor levels above 200 parts per million. He asked if I wanted to have somebody contact me about repairing my heater or replacing it. I declined. I called the CO2 detector firm. The detector closest to the furnace detects gas leaks and CO2 over 50 parts per million. One of the others was also 50 parts per million and the other 70. Clearly he had been trained to try and scare me into purchasing unnecessary repairs or replacement. The visit was a complete waste of money. read more

Our plumber, Joshua, is outstanding. He was very thorough in his diagnosis and his repair in our bathroom was fine! He also adjusted the temperature on the water heater, even though I didn't mention when I called the office and sprang my request on him until he arrived. He was very polite, and like we say down South, sweet! JCFlood has some of the best people on their team. read more

Would love to tell you about their AC service, but never got to that point. I booked the appointment last week--specifically noted to the person who answered the call that they would need a big ladder to get to the unit on the roof. Sat around and waited for the technician to show up today. Called their number twice today--once to make sure the technician had the right number to let know when he was on the way. Second time to ask if they had a rough ETA. Never got a call back about the second question, but at 3:15PM did get a call telling me that no ladder was available so they weren't coming today and it would be $350+ to bring a tall enough ladder on a different day. I will be finding a different service. read more

Javier Ruiz-Gonzalez gave us excellent service today, draining our water heater and explaining what he else he could do to extend its life. He was professional and patient as he fielded numerous questions about other HVAC projects were are thinking of doing. While he explained all our options, he was never pushy, and made it clear that he appreciated our business. I would not hesitate to call on him again. read more

Nassim Sebaoui turned the water on to our pool house. He had not been to the house before, so was particularly careful about making sure water was flowing with no leaks. He was also willing to listen to whatever information I could provide. A job well done! read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They overcharge. They gave me a 6 year warranty and would not allow me to use the warranty. I paid over $4,000 for a brand new water heater in 2001. They made up a bunch of reasons why I could not use it. Such as the outside temperature "risen to 70 degrees in the last few days." My sensor went bad, they replaced it 3 years ago, this should be covered under warranty. Instead, they charged me $450 to replace the vapor sensor. I asked for an itemized receipt, again they refused. After calling multiple days the owner, Johnny, finally answered. He said his job is worth that much money. I have attached their receipt, which does not explain how they came to the number $450. You can also see they have multiple spelling errors. read more

Excellent job! Exceeded my expectations. All repairs were completed the same day. George Westry for Ms. A. Fields read more

Not really sure what I paid for??? The technician was at our house for about 15-20 min. They blew out a line according to my receipt, didn't use any new parts, and I got charged over $300! When I setup the appointment customer service told me it $99 for the visit yet it would be waived if we went with their service. What did I just pay for? I feel ripped off...happy to pay the service fee and get my $300 back! The technicians response was that the prices have gone up...but again, prices for what? No new part was used and it took the guy 15-20 min to blow out a line. read more

Excellent service from Daniel Robinson. He is the consummate professional in his expertise and in conducting business with customers. He educated me on better ways to treat my appliances so that they will perform well. I very much appreciated having Daniel inspect and repair my Trane AC. I also appreciated his warning about a big fat wolf spider that was hanging out above my patio door. Otherwise, it might have ended badly for both the spider and for me. read more

We had JC Flood install a gas furnace, A-Coil, & Condenser Coil this past January. B/c of the cold wx installation, we weren't sure the correct amount of Freon was added to the A/C unit, so we asked them to return to verify in warmer wx. Stephen Maxey was knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough regarding all aspects of verifying the operation of our A/C unit. We have a maintenance contract with JC Flood and glad we do! read more

So the company responds with a form letter supposedly from the owner but was posted by someone named Trevor. Now if that isn't enough of a lie then perhaps a closer look at the evidence will convince you not to even think of using any of their services. . The picture with the braided cable and Dahl ball valve shows the new work done along with a buggered up wall which was also done by them. Not really a big deal since I've got to paint anyway but it would've been nicer if I didn't have to deal with that at all. John C Flood charged $410.13 for just that work. There's no breakdown of labor or material charges, a predatory practice. At SupplyHouse.com the materials would've cost $12.50 for the valve and hose. . Photo copy of the receipt shows they charged me for 5' of copper pipe, less than 3' was used. You can't trust them. John C Flood charged me $478.37 to replace the piping. . They charged me $78.13 for the Sharkbite connectors, I found them for a maximum of $37 at Supplyhouse.com, another example of the way they'll gouge their customers. . Johnny Thomas, their plumbing supervisor, called me to explain the charges. He said they have to charge that much because they have to pay the person to answer the phone. He also explained that they have to have liability insurance. Then he told me they also have to buy specialized tools. Quite a bit to scrape off my boots. . They charge $600 a hour, beware of their lies. read more

We had a pin-prick leak overnight in one of the old pipes to the upstairs bathroom in our 100-year-old NE DC rowhouse, which dripped through to the first floor living room. Damon Hatcher from John C. Flood arrived mid-morning on a Friday in February 2025. We had turned off the water main. He advised us of the cost of diagnosis, and, after our go-ahead, cut an opening in the ceiling drywall, located the leak quickly, cut another opening in the drywall in the room behind the bathroom (so as not to remove the sink), and replaced 4 pipes with new copper piping, Problem solved. Cost wasn't cheap ($1700), but we were back to normal in a short while. Damon was a consummate professional; super friendly, clear & highly skilled. We had a maintenance contract for our gas boiler and plumbing that provided a 10% discount. read more

I'm so glad I went with John C Flood- I found them from positive Google reviews and my experience was five star! I got a call from my apartment management about 2:30 PM that my unit had a leak into the unit below; after reaching out to a couple companies who would not be able to come same day, John C Flood staff worked with me to be able to have someone come same day before closing. Their staff on the phone and management were very kind and went above and beyond to try to have someone come if they could. Nassim came to assess the problem, and returned the next morning and took care of the repairs in a prompt and efficient manner. Great communication throughout the experience. Would use this company again for future needs and highly recommend. read more

The serviceman, Cesar Tinoco, came promptly, took a while but got my a/c working fine, was polite, and even helped me by doing this old lady clean up a mess. The price was perfectly reasonable, considering the amount of work he put in. I also asked about getting a new thermostat, and he suggested that I see if my old one is working right, to consider it then, but thought it may work fine now. Saved me lots of money. I'm a happy camper! read more

I had a new Trane HVAC dual fuel system with an Aprilaire 800 humidifier installed in January, pursuant to a contract with Air One Tech, which was acquired by John C. Flood on December 31, 2024. When it was installed, the HVAC system thermostat was not calibrated so the room was about 5 degrees colder than the thermostat setting. I contacted John C. Flood twice. After the second call, they agreed at my request to send out the same excellent technician who'd worked on my other HVAC system installed by Air One Tech. Sean Hoffman came at the time promised, calibrated the new HVAC system thermostat and checked to make sure the Aprilaire humidifier was working properly. I hope Sean Hoffman continues to work for Flood. read more

Eric was top notch. He replaced my out-dated water heater with a tankless option. It was a difficult job in a small townhome with tight spaces. He knocked it out and provided helpful guidance along the way. Eric even replaced some PVC piping that was installed incorrectly on my HVAC unit, which shows that he goes above and beyond to provide the best customer service possible. read more

I had an absolutely terrible experience with John C. Flood installing a new heat pump system and thermostat at my home in Alexandria, VA. I will never use John C Flood for any future service, let all my friends/family know about their terrible service, and hope anyone reading this review avoids them like the plague. TLDR - Incompetent, Disrespectful, Dishonest, Unprofessional, Crude, Unreliable, Greedy. There were several issues with the installation, customer service, and urgency after causing water leaks: 1) They installed the indoor AC unit incorrectly - the AC unit's excess water drainage pipe was titled the wrong way (seems a basic thing for a so-called expert to get right) and my bedroom ceiling started leaking excess water from the AC within 12 hours of installation. See attached photos of water leak damage. Had to turn off the AC the next day and wait another 48 hours before they came back to reinstall the indoor unit correctly. 2) The professionalism of the installer (that installed it wrong, causing water leaks) was atrocious. They left the crawl space and gap between the crawl space and wall filthy and I had to pick up all their trash afterwards. See attached photos of garbage they left behind - gatorade bottles, lunch wrappers, plastic wrapping of equipment. The wall and carpet has grease marks and streaks from the installation. No courtesy to bin their trash, wipe off marks, or vacuum carpet. 3) The clean up after the water leaks - ceiling drywall repair and repainting took 2 weeks to complete. There were a couple of appointments that John C Flood reps didn't even show up for. I had to be the person calling their office asking where their technicians were. I would have thought that they would do everything in their power to make it right. I paid $10k for the job. They took the money up front. Caused water damage to my ceiling and then took 2 weeks to clean up their mess. Ridiculous! 4) I paid for a 2-ton heat pump, but they installed a 1.5-ton system. They ended up asking me to pay more than what was signed in the contract because they hadn't estimated the correct installation equipment. Not my problem if the John C Flood sales person can't accurately assess the equipment needed for a job. I am relying on them as experts. You shouldn't ask the customer to pay extra after the contract has been signed. Also, I ended up paying more for the overall job even though they installed a smaller heat pump. 5) When I asked the installer for an updated contract and that I didn't want to pay the increased amount until I received the updated contract, he threatened to go back inside and remove the entire unit. Are you serious? His exact words were - "I'd be glad to go back upstairs and remove the entire unit. How'd you like that?" All this for $150. How greedy can you be? read more

We had a very fast response when our heat stopped working in the middle of the single digit winter weather we have been having. They came out the next day to give us an estimate. I was really impressed with the knowledge and explanations given. It didnt feel like a sales call which I really appreciated. The pricing was good and seemed very fair after getting multiple estimates. read more
