John Nugent & Sons Inc

Work was done exactly as they said it would be, with great quality, care and consideration. Work was completed in half the time they estimated.

Perfect. Quick despite being a difficult job. No mess. Courteous service. Shawn was confident, experienced, and capable. He provided the quality service I have come to expect from John Nugent and Son's for all my HVAC needs.

Called John Nugent & Sons after hours and left a message on HVAC emergency line. Got a call back from their technician Chung Lin very quickly, who told me to look for any blown fuse in the furnace circuit board inside the house, not the exterior AC unit, and offered to come out if needed. Sure enough found a blown fuse and replaced it. Problem solved. Excellent and honest expert opinion, free of charge.

I called John Nugent & Sons and Brandon came, discussed the problem with me, and gave me an estimate. I scheduled the work and he came back yesterday to install the new amp. He was very professional and the area was spotless when he was done. I would 100% recommend Brandon and John Nugent & Sons. So happy to have found a great electrician and company finally!!!

We were extremely happy with the work John Nugent & Sons did for us. We were particularly pleased with both Jorge and Justin. We needed to have an outdoor line run from our circuit box to an outdoor location and have 2 separate GFCI circuits installed for our swimspa (hottub and small pool) + an outdoor outlet installed. Lots of complications arose due to the complex nature of connecting to the spa tub…but nothing they couldn’t handle! Always on time, great communication, and lovely to have around! About a month later, we had to replace the new spa…Jorge returned to both unhook and reconnect the new spa…with flawless work. Would trust these guys with anything complicated!!! And the work looks absolutely stunning!!

Mr. Youness El Oikili from John Nugent and Sons did an outstanding job installing a new complex Carrier II thermostat - he was professional, courteous, considerate, technically astute and completed all the work on schedule and on budget -- and the thermostat works superbly. I highly recommend John Nugent and Sons -- and commend their outstanding technician, Mr. Youness El Oilili. I purchased for the thermostat and the installation - received a discount because the Thermostat had a high wholesale price.

They were the lowest bid of four contractors. They also offered State water heaters. The State WH they were replacing had serviced me and my family for 40 years and 2 months. They worked with me on getting the upgraded State WH I desired. hey projected 4 hours to complete the job. They were in and out in 2-hours and 15 minutes. Not one drop of water spilled on hardwood floors as the old heater, which could not be completely drained before the removal was taken through the house. Outstanding customer service and plumbers that did the job. We plan to have them become our HVAC maintenance contract after our current contract concludes. I was referred to Nugent by another satisfied customer. I am fully satisfied and they are firm located in Northern Virginia.

They have been excellent and I have no complaints. I would highly recommend them as well.

Larry was fantastic, he arrived on time, gave us pricing and completed the work in one day. He was very professional, clean in his work, polite and thorough.

Before I start, I wanted to say that I've used John Nugent and Sons before on my other property and have been happy with their services. Recently we purchased a new property and contacted them to check our HVAC system for any issues. The technician arrived and I showed him the units. Honestly, he didn't appear much freindly. He told me that he will only check the AC units ( 1 in the main level and 1 in the attic). While opening the main level unit he was constantly complianing that the unit was not installed in the right manner and was struggling to open the main conduit. He finally opened and did some minor checking and moved on to the upper level unit. He did not spend much time with the 2nd unit as well, just checked the drain pipe and moved on. He gave me the report and moved on. 2 weeks after the check, I have my drain pipes clogged and water leaking from the main unit. I'm sure the technician did not do a thourough job of checking the drain pipe. The other techs from John Nugent also clean the drain pipes - this one refused to do any such work. Just wanted John Nugent to know that I'm not happy with their service this time around.

Excellent. RJ Parker designed the system w me and Foreman Isaac Coello led a very experienced crew in a major job.

Beware this company does not have a transparent hourly rate. Having determined a failed light and electrical outlet problem lay in the circuit panel, this company responded and determined three breakers should be replaced for 726 dollars. the actual bill subtotal shows 935 dollars, though the difference is not explained. when asked for a breakdown of why it cost 💲 726 dollars to replace 3 breakers in less than an hour, part of the explanation was unintelligible circular talk of local rates for service but not for hourly service. rather, for each item replaced. No parts were left to see the actual condition of parts claimed in need of replacement. when challenged on labor rates, it was explained that one category of fees labeled "miscellaneous" was to make sure the newly installed breakers worked - so when pressed for a written explanation of miscellaneous, the item was written on the receipt as "Verify all three affected circuits are clear of additional faults due to damaged circuit breakers before turning circuits on, further verify power was restored to all affected areas -" When i challenged this as simply turning on the switches to see if they worked, and that that should be part of the service, i was told that this company trains and instructs it's employees to linger at the site to ensure there is subsequent problem for at least half an hour or more, and that there is no other labor category to charge this time to, so it is considered a "Miscellaneous" charge - of, in this case, $159.00. I did not ask them to linger, and i expect testing the repair for functionality to be part of the job. i explained this, and was offered a reduction in the bill of 159.00 as a "courtesy". then the full invoice came showing a full claimed charge of 935 dollars, with no explanation at all for the difference between the 726 and 935. The final new bill of 567 (726-159), for replacing 3 breakers in less than an hour. That amounts to an hourly rate of between 5 and 600 dollars an hour, if they can find a way to charge you for it. Buyer beware. And be sure to ask about the miscellaneous charge category, and ask if testing the repairs is part of the job. When i put comments to the email address and website comment boxes offered by this company, asking questions about the billing, i received no/no responses until daily inquiries for several days, and stipulating i would not pay the bill without a written explanation of what i was being actually billed for. I finally received a phone call to test my resolve and negotiate. I do not recommend anyone do business with this company as long as it is managed in this manner.

Nugent & Sons fixed pendant kitchen lights that had detached from broken ceiling boxes. Nugent gave a $211 estimate to repair a single light. Total time for the repairs to three lights was close to three hours; the first light repair took about half that time. The repairs appear to have been well done. But we believe the bill was excessive, and unjustified. We paid the $1071 on site. The invoice was delivered later, and consisted of two unintelligible charges: “Customer Provided Lighting Fixture*Each $633", and “Miscellaneous Minor Repair $438". Asked for an explanation of the invoice, the Nugent accounting office (Chris) said that $211 for each of the three lights was the total of $633, as estimated. And the $438? The explanations offered changed, conflicted, and became increasingly creative. Among the explanations for the $438 were the following. ● Nugent charged $40 for each electrical ceiling box installed to support the lights. Nugent said $40 was a reduction from its “book rate” of $65 each. Those same boxes sell at Home Depot for approximately $3 each, less when purchased in quantity. ● The remaining $318 ($438 - $120) was for extra time, beyond 45 minutes, for each of the three repairs, billed in one-half hour increments, which is the shortest time increment Nugent bills. However, in our home, two of the three lights were repaired within 45 minutes. (Note that if each of three repairs runs over the 45 minutes by only a minute or two, Nugent will charge $318 for an additional one and one-half hours of work.) ● Nugent argued that the extra charges were justified by what Nugent “saved” us in drywall repairs by not needing to cut the drywall. So the less Nugent does, the more it charges. We were never told before or during the jobs that there might be additional charges for time or for materials – and certainly not for such excessive and creative pricing of time and materials. Consequently, we cannot recommend Nugent & Sons to others.

My 50 year old toilet, a stock American Standard model the builder installed, was overflowing, so I thought I had a drain clog. Not so, said the Nugent plumber, Tommy. He diagnosed it as an aging toilet whose inner traps had failed, so he recommended a few units to replace it. I selected his top of the line choice — a Toto model reputed to be the best. The company delivered it to him while we waited and he installed it well. Problem solved. Note: The cost of service reflects a 5% Angie's List discount.

Michael was very professional. He started by explaining how much the 2 things I wanted done would cost. He had the faucet replaced in no time. We also wanted a quarter-turn handle placed on a water supply line. He did that fine but the cost he quoted was much more than I expected. I saw a previous review stating $375 for the faucet and that is exactly what I was charged. For the quarter turn handle it was $225.

After being a good customer for 30yrs needed work and was blown off for 2 days they had 2 guys working directly across the street from me and could not provide service. they where very busy . They have gotten gotten to big to care about long time customers and the money I spent on water heaters and a/c and heating units. Called Arlington A/C and they will have someone out in the morning.

Very professional, thorough and efficiently priced.

No problem with scheduling. I requested a quote and was contacted quickly to set up an appointment. The estimator arrived within the scheduled window and conducted a review of our current system and made verbal recommendations. This was on a Friday, and we were promised a quote the following Monday. No quote arrived. I called after one week and was told that they would get back to me. After two full weeks +, I have not been contacted or recieved a quote.

Tech #294 Mario was very professional and helpfully explained the problem. He inspected the furnace (found not problems beyond broken damper) and cleaned part of the ductwork. Total charge for visit $208. He provided a quote for damper replacement: $380. Seems high for replacing manual damper, but I guess good service costs good money.

Good experience. Very professional, recommended them to my neighbor.

They came back the second time I had a question. It was kind. He was professional.
