(December 2017) I knew our AC unit from 1986 was going to need replacing when we bought the house 6 years ago so finally had someone come out to inspect and price - I called 3 friends and 2 recommended John C Flood so figured I would call them. The service call was great and yes the original system needed replacing but only parts of it (For as little as I know about the system I could have easily been told an entire system replacement). The installation team was friendly, on time, and cleaned up after themselves. I will be among the people recommending them in the future. Update: (6/2018) I got a service contract for twice a year inspection and have been having David Lavis from John C Flood do the work- he is great! Explains everything to me, doesn't try to oversell me things and has a 'this might or might not be an issue we will keep an eye on it next time' attitude, and most importantly makes sure the cat does not get out or into the attic!read more

We always use John C. Flood and this last service call explains why. The plumbing technician was intelligent and helpful, diagnosing the problem in literally seconds, explaining it clearly and suggesting alternative options for purchasing the parts needed for repair at our choice of supplier. He even suggested how we might be able to save money over time by purchasing supplies with a lifetime guarantee. The technician came on schedule at a time of our choosing. John C. Flood may cost a bit more for service than other plumbers, but our family finds that the difference is worth it in terms of reliability and future savings.read more

Had a fantastic experience today. I has some issues that I didn't understand, and didn't know what to expect in terms of the scope of recommendations that would be made. David was incredibly thorough, talked me through his recommendations, and outlined the next steps very clearly. I was using John C Flood for the first time, and based upon my experience with David I signed up for the annual 'contract' immediately. I was looking for a company to trust and rely upon moving forward and I feel confident that I have found it. David is a great representative of the organization - as were the schedulers I talked to in advance; they were also courteous and thorough, with very pleasant to work with.read more

Dave was great at explaining what he was doing. when the pressure switch had to be replaced, he said he could get it and will come by around 4PM the same day. He was also very helpful about suggesting ub putting a drain safety switch for the furnace humidifier. he also recommended putting an electric switch in the furnace room so i don't need to have to connect to external electrical outlet he also recommend i get another CO2 Detector for the mid-level . i plan on using John C Flood for my future needs. excellent experience. if all your technicians are like Dave, then i know they are also great. thank youread more

Juan did a great job for us. He is very knowledgeable and gave me helpful information about our AC system and how it is running. He made some suggestions, and gave me options for replacing our hot water heater too, without making me feel like he was selling something to me that I didn't need. He went above and beyond and made me feel as if he was not in a hurry to be finished, but that he would take as long as needed to talk through options with me. We've been happy with the work John C. Flood has done for us, and Juan reinforced how pleased we are with their service overall.read more

Eric was great! He was patient with us in revising the estimate, so we could pick which things we wanted done today, and to stay in our budget. And, he was able to clear a drain that the neighbors say has backed up for 14 years. He was very polite and courteous and even showed me the pipe I did a good job of bursting by not opening my hose bib. I won't do that again!read more

Just had my annual AC check up. Dave was very nice and took the time to explain what he was doing and give recommendations. What I really like about this company is their professionalism. It was nice receiving an email detailing what was done rather than the old paper receipt.read more

Luke took time to help my Mother, who had many questions about our heating and air conditioning. He was incredibly patient, thorough and intelligent. He was very knowledgeable about the different brands of air handler systems, showing us exactly how to program the touch screen as well as the push-button screen controls of our two different panels. He demonstrated all the possible uses of the control panels including sleep and away, while letting us choose a simplified set of uses that we felt comfortable with. Then he was also just as informed about how the huge air processors out back worked, and why one showed 17 events the day that storms caused a power interruption. Luke studied the units carefully and tested individual capacitors until he found the weak capacitor, then found that exact part from all the capacitors in his truck quickly, and replaced it in a jiffy. He took time and effort to clean out the disgustingly dirty coils. When I wasn't busy, he showed me that our dryer vent output was placed too near the A/C handler unit, which had been blasting our lint output towards our intake coils. This had contributed to our filters getting filthy sooner than usual. He suggested different remedies and methods to improve the condition, and told me what else needed to be cleaned in order for our air to be better. He patiently told us about the different MERV numbers on our air filters, and potential pros and cons of those. He also recalled that our system had leaked before, showed me where, and helped advise me about a moisture detector alarm device that we will install soon to prevent further floods or leaks. I asked about UV air scrubbers, so he explained how they work, how much various kinds cost, where those would be installed, and the benefits of scrubbers. He was very polite, even when his boss interrupted with phone-calls to find out information Luke always knew off the top of his head about numerous other customers' air systems. I was both highly impressed and extremely pleased with the service we were privileged to get from this gentleman. We are grateful to feel less ignorant about what is going on inside the air handlers, and to really understand their operation, all because of Luke. Thank you!read more

The tech was very knowledgeable regarding the issue and went beyond just getting the water heater to work but also corrected issues with the vent pipe. Gave detailed instructions on how to deal with any potential issues in the future. Would highly recommend John C. Flood for service in the future. This is our second experience with them and we have been extremely well satisfied with them!read more

I am so thankful for John C Flood. They are truly reliable and professional. The technician Michael Dailey was awesome. He know exactly what my problem was, explained in simplicity, and tackled the issue with ease. He also was very pleasant and professional. In addition, the dispatcher Ronnie was also great. Ronnie provided me with outstanding customer service. She was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions regarding payment, coupons, etc. She even went above and beyond to make sure I was a satisfied customer. Ronnie sent another technician (Darwin) on very short notice to insert a camera in my drains to ensure blockage no longer existed. Overall, I am very satisfied and will be utilizing John C Flood's services again.read more

I initially used another Home Service app to find a plumber to help with a backed up sump pump. While that person was nice, he didn’t seem very confident in his diagnosis or course of action. My husband suggested we call John C. Flood. The young lady who helped me make an appointment was so nice. I also thought it was a FANTASTIC feature that they sent me a text when my Technician Eric was on his way and included his picture! Eric was very friendly and knowledgeable. He had to cut our pipe to release the water trapped in our sump pumps (which were perilously close to overflowing in our basement). I really liked Eric and was very impressed with his bedside manner. He’s a great asset to that company We still have to determine the root cause of the backup and get that fixed in the next few days. We will be sure to call John C. Flood again!read more
