In 1976, our parent company, A Action Home Services, launched in the home service field as a residential Electrical and Heating & Air Conditioning business. As many clients inquired about plumbing services, we decided to add a plumbing division to our family of offerings, allowing us to support our clients with various home service needs while continuing our family’s legacy of honesty, integrity, and professionalism.
We have been effectively assisting our clients with plumbing repairs and replacements in Virginia and DC since then. Charlie T. founded this company in 1976 from his garage with his wife and brother. They aimed to provide customers with what they wanted at a fair price. He quickly earned a reputation for outstanding customer service and genuine care when working in clients' homes. Word spread rapidly, and soon everyone in the beltway knew who to call for excellent customer service. He has since moved the company from his garage to a strategic location just off the beltway, ensuring quick access for our neighbors.
Today, under his guidance, we continue to embrace that philosophy and have significantly expanded our range of services. Since the beginning, our focus has been on addressing our clients' unique electrical system requirements in their homes. He stays engaged in developing new and improved strategies to care for his clients.

Recommended Customer Reviews
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.
I obtained 4 price quotes for a 2-1/2 ton HVAC and heat pump complete system and A Action was by far the lowest. Their price was so low I was worried there would be problems. They installed the system and were AMAZING! Kenneth and Everrett were experienced, courteous and very thorough. We could not be more pleased. I would HIGHLY recommend them. They exceeded our high expectations in every way possible.
Following a roof replacement, our automatic attic vent fan stopped working. The roofing contractor couldn't find anything wrong with it, so I checked my files and found that Galaxy Electric (now A Action) had installed the fan in 2005. A Action promptly scheduled an electrician to come out to make an assessment, and he found the motor was burned out due to the fan's shielding screen being dented inward which prevented the blades from turning. He determined that it was obviously caused during the roof replacement. I then made arrangements with the roofer to replace the fan, but because they weren't licensed to perform electrical work, I went back to A Action to ask that they do the electrical hook up. A Action was very accommodating throughout this process, offering advice on the model of fan for the roofer to procure, and scheduling the hook up the morning after the new fan was installed. Chris, the electrician who hooked it up (who I also believe is a manager with the company) was on time, cheerful, and had the fan back up and running on a day when the temperatures were heading into the 90's. Excellent!
Michael T.A Action was able to deliver same-day, professional service! The electrician arrived on time and was able to clean, service and repair my Heat Pump as needed. He also fixed my programmable Thermostat! I highly recommend A Action Home Services for AC, Heating & Plumbing needs!
AAction came out to fix my AC during one of the hottest weeks of the year. They were on time and thoroughly checked the outside unit. It needed a new capacitor. I do love having them as my HVAC guys... twice a year for check-ups and on-call when something odd happens! All their folks are really nice too!
I just had AAction out to replace my entire heat pump in my condo. They sent three technicians to do the work. The guys came on time, informed me of what they were doing, put tarps down and finished early. I couldn't be happier with the whole process and the guys are all VERY NICE! AAA+++
A Action Heating & Air came to our home to assess the problem and helped us trouble shoot what needed to be fixed and what need to be replaced with our 18 year old system. Dana took the time explaining everything, was very knowledgeable and professional and gave us a great price. The best I've seen out there after other bids. Two days later they were at our home installing a new AC unit and furnace. Kenneth and Chris were careful and meticulous to say the least while installing. They explained everything as they went along. They took the time to do things right and we couldn't be happier. We look forward to having them replace our upstairs units in the near future (zoned heating and air). We highly recommend A Action. They are fantastic!
This morning was the third or fourth time we have called A Action out to fix a problem with our old furnace, and they have been consistently great. My parents have also depended on them for several years and we highly recommend this company. Dana is the service person who usually comes, he clearly knows what he's doing and we have never been surprised with charges or pricing that wasn't made abundantly clear before any work was done. I especially appreciate Kenneth's willingness to come out today as this blizzard was starting, to check and fix our furnace. He did a great job, explained everything thoroughly, was friendly and personable, and didn't charge us for anything that wasn't immediately necessary. I am very happy to continue using and recommending A Action.
Have used A Action numerous times for our heating and air conditioner maintenance plus purchased a replacement system from them. They are very efficient, knowledgeable, and reliable. Would recommend them to anyone.
I called regarding an electrical problem in my home. I was told that for someone to come out and take a look it would cost 29.99. First misleading tactic, take a look means to verify and plan how to fix. For A Action they came out looked at it listened to me and said they would come back for 292 to go in and try to fix. I thought that's what would have happened on this visit. I wait awhile, trying to find someone else cause I am already getting a bad vibe. Could find anyone and called them again. Spoke with a guy who wasn't the most customer friendly who became irritated when I showed ___ to him saying we will come back out and go in for the 292 but if it requires more to fix then the price will change. There is the kicker and that's how they get you. He comes out and spends like 1.5 hours going up in attic, down to basement, taking my light fixtures down, etc. then when finished he's like alright that will be 292 and I'll have to come back and run a wire from the attic into ceiling and blah blah. The cost for that will be 900 bucks. My mouth is just hanging open in shock. I realize that these people have just ripped me off for 300 +29 bucks! We already knew there was a missing neutral I already paid 29.99 for him to come out now I have to pay 292 and now he wants to run a wire for 900? What was the 29.99 for a meet and greet? Why am I paying this 292 when the solution should have been determined on the first visit.
Someone had already told me that my problem could be fixed in an hour. The length of time it took this electrician tells me he didn't know what he was doing or he was figuring out which price on their list of rip off pricing (unless you are an electrician none of the categories make sense) he was going to charge.
I found another electrician he came in didn't charge me to look at my issue plus resolved the problem all in under an hour AND for 180 bucks! Please people A Action are not only rip offs but its a possible that their electricians are not qualified.
stay away!!!! far away... the owner is beyond rude and does not realize that customer service is key. plumbers are a dime a dozen and this man somehow thinks he is the last plumber on earth!!
stay away...call someone else...please!!!!!!!!
