In 1976, our parent company, A Action Home Services, launched in the home service field as a residential Electrical and Heating & Air Conditioning business. Due to numerous client requests for plumbing referrals, we expanded our family of services to include a plumbing division, enabling us to better serve our clients with diverse home service needs while maintaining our family’s values of honesty, integrity, and professionalism.
We have been effectively assisting our clients with plumbing repairs and replacements in Virginia and DC since then. In 1976, Charlie T. started this company from his garage alongside his wife and brother. Their mission was to deliver what customers desired at a reasonable cost. He quickly gained a reputation for exceptional customer service and care while in a client’s home. News spread quickly, and before long, the entire beltway knew who to contact for top-notch customer service. Since then, he has relocated the company from his garage to a prime location just off the beltway for easy access to our neighbors.
Today, with his leadership, we uphold that philosophy and have greatly broadened our service offerings. From the start, we have prioritized caring for our clients and their specific electrical system needs within their homes. He continues to innovate and find better ways to serve his clients.

Recommended Customer Reviews
Larry C.For a service provider, I think AAction does pretty well. I think this past year was difficult for everyone, and I was unable to have someone out for my Fall/winter check. My account expired in March and I think they could have extended it until my Spring/Summer check this week, as a good faith gesture. It is what it is,and I will continue to use them, unless something drastic happens.
Arrived on time with reminders sent which I appreciate. Face mask and booties for shoes worn. We have an HVAC service contract with A Action and have been pleased with the spring and winter regular maintenance appointments - just renewed our contract.

A Action has consistently exceeded my expectations. I have used them 3 times for both plumbing and electrical issues. Most recently was to fix an emergency water leak. They responded the same day, correctly diagnosed the problem, provided upfront pricing, and resolved the issue. Service is professional and congenial. I would highly recommend them.
I've used A Action for plumbing, HVAC, and electrical work and had three different experiences. They were recommended by the home inspection we used when purchasing our new home. Bottom line: I'd consider using them for electrical and possibly plumbing work again, after shopping around for other estimates. I found they are more expensive than other companies. I will not be using the HVAC services again.
Electrical: A Action initially came out to fix a double wired panel in our electrical panel and consult about installing an electrical vehicle charger. Turns out the home's original electrical panel had been upgraded with tandem breakers, which the panel wasn't rated for. So we needed to get a new panel before moving ahead with installing an outlet in the garage capable of supporting the EV charger. A Action was more expensive than a second company who gave us an estimate for the same work, but we went with A Action because they would handle the permitting and inspection process with the local electricity provider. Our electrician also fixed some bad wiring in our basement ceiling while he was out, so that made me feel better about the price we paid.
Plumbing: A Action performed a plumbing inspection of our new home and ended up coming back out a few weeks later for a sump pump problem. They were able to inspect the sump pump the same day I called, which was nice. The plumber recommended replacing the pump, and we scheduled a convenient time. I definitely overpaid for sump pump and installation, so I recommend getting other estimates before using their plumbing services. The plumber arrived a bit late for the installation, but the installation took less than a hour, so it worked out. However, the new pipe connector started leaking the next day. The plumber came back out to fix it, and it hasn't leaked since.
HVAC: A Action performed an HVAC inspection and routine maintenance in early June. Since then, the unit indoors has been making louder noises when turning on and off than it did before. I called A Action about the noise twice and was told the HVAC technician would call me back, but he never has. In the middle of July, our AC went out on a Friday night. We called A Action the next morning but didn't hear back until Monday. We found another company who came out the same day and replaced a bad dual capacitor in the outdoor unit, which the technician admitted might not have been a problem at the time A Action performed the inspection. A Action is transparent with their pricing at least, so according to their price sheet, if they had been able to come out the same day and complete the repair, it would have been nearly $100 more than the company who ended up performing the service.
I reached out to A Action Home Services because I was having an issue with my air conditioner. I was anxious; almost to the point of panic. From the moment I spoke with Ken the anxiety went away. We did a little trouble shooting over the phone. Eventually a tech (Charles) was dispatched and came out right away. An expert. He was also professional, courteous. He also suggested ideas for me to save on energy costs. Problem solved. I truly thank God for the folks at A Action and can call them friends.
Same day service, friendly and reasonable. Great experience. We had a very high price from another plumber and they did it for a fraction of the cost.
I've been using this company for years to do my electrical work and they are great. Always on time, able to get an appointment right away, polite and I'm always satisfied with their work.
Tom M.We've had Aaction out to repair our heating AC system several times. They did excellent work. They are reasonably priced, fast and took time to educate us. We've also used them for electrical work, which was excellent. And for plumbing services. They do it all. We will absolutely use them again. One thing we like is that their truck is fully supplied with most whatever they need. So they don't have to go get what they need to come back later. I've talked with the owner on the phone and he is very service oriented. Wanted to help us quickly.
I originally asked A Action to come out and add electrical outlets and a sub-panel in my garage so the space would be more usable, and to replace two crackling light switches in my home. Chris came over and gave my plan some feedback in order to make these new outlets far more useful to me in the future. The work was significant, but Chris was quick and patient as he provided explanations for the work he was doing as he was doing it.
When it came time to replace the light switches, Chris found speaker wire had been used to wire them in. Speaker wire isn't rated to carry home current and amperage, so I asked him to replace the wiring and correct this issue as well as any other wiring problems found in this original-owner finished space. The standardized pricing they use worked to my advantage since this ended up taking all day, and entailed replacing half the wiring in my lower level on a separate visit from the garage work. Quotes from a couple of other electricians were significantly more for this work, so I would call that a great value. I have some electrical knowledge as required for my work, but I also know when it pays to call a licensed professional, and this situation was one of those times.
I have since had them out to correct a shoddily installed bathroom vent fan duct that dates back to when my house was built, and they did a great job with that, too!
A Action Home Services went out of their way to accommodate us in an emergency situation. Although they are not the most competitive price wise, they do high quality work and are very knowledgable. Chris and Everett did an amazing job. They were professional, respectful and very diligent. They were not satisfied until the job was done right. I appreciated their expertise and integrity. It was evident they care about their work and try to look out for their customers.
