Plumbing & Cooling Nerds is the evolution of the plumbing and air conditioning firm established by John Verhoff after his move to Southwest Florida in 2007. He began by working on new construction assignments. Yet, following the 2008-2009 recession, he realized that contractor work restricted his business autonomy. In 2012, Verhoff changed his focus to home services, initially partnering with a friend on a company that had branches in Florida and two other states. When he took over his friend's portion of the Florida business in 2016, he looked for a new name and brand identity. That's when Plumbing & Cooling Nerds came to life. Plumbing & Cooling Nerds takes pride in providing “smarter home solutions” delivered with “nerd-like enthusiasm.”
Hello, I'm John Verhoff, the founder and ""Head Nerd"" of Plumbing & Cooling Nerds. I have been passionate about home services since my high school days, and I am dedicated to delivering top-notch service to my customers. In 2007, when I started Plumbing Nerds, I saw a gap for a more client-centered plumbing approach. Our goal is to ""change the way the world views skilled trades,"" which entails delivering contemporary, tech-savvy solutions for routine plumbing challenges. We also inform homeowners about their plumbing and air conditioning systems and present options that best fit their requirements. Thank you for thinking of Plumbing & Cooling Nerds for your home service solutions. I hope to reshape your understanding of trade professionals.

Recommended Customer Reviews

These guys know their business and our serviceman was as honest as the day is long. Tim is the best plumber we have had in our house in the 15 years we've been in Florida. Plumbing Nerds are #1.

We purchased our home about two months ago and had to deal with the city hook up. When the hook up was done our entire front yard was destroyed. The new owner took over. When he came to close out our account he took one look and offered to fix the issue even though it wasn't his fault. He re sodded (offering to do the work himself because he couldn't get a landscaper quick enough). I was so happy and impressed. Everything has been resolved and we couldn't be happier :)

We didn't hire them!!! Because they work on a flat rate only. Their, technician, prepared the proposal before he arrived and had not even seen the job. """" He did update the proposal after he arrived and I showed him 3 additional small things I asked him to do"""". The job was a very simple electric Tankless hot water heater install plus a Bidet toilet seat and a 1in pipe relocate using 2 ft of PVC pipe and a couple of PVC glue fittings cost maybe """"$10.00"""". The electrical charge was going to be $1004.00 to pull 10 feet of wire and install 2 ea. 60 amp breakers. The Tec seemed more interested in upselling me a maintenance agreement than doing the job. He was a very nice guy!!! I had to ask him more than once to just give me the bottom line price then I had to ask him to break it down into unit pricing that is where I saw the truth. The entire job may have taken him 4 or 5 hrs at best. Had we paid him for a $100 service call and $100 per hr? it might have cost $600.00 and total parts of $ 100.00, My electrician was $250.00 Total $ 950.00. Plumbing Nerds wanted in excess of $2500.00 Please be careful they will try to take advantage of you. PS: I had already purchased the Rheem hot water heater at Home Depot. I have been a licensed Florida underground utility contractor for over 35 years and have installed 100s of thousands of feet of pipe up to 8 ft in diameter I know when someone is trying to take advantage of me!!!!

Luis and his assistants just completed a re-pipe of our home. While no one likes the damage caused by such a re-pipe (cutting out sections of the wall, Luis and his team not only worked efficiently but they were extremely neat in all they did. They were very knowledgeable in completing the re-pipe and in fact Luis pointed out some non-plumbing issues that I should have investigated. Adam Fipp who initially came to the home to prepare the estimate was great to deal with and was also very knowledgeable and responsive. Both Luis and Adam were on time for all appointments which is this day is very unusual. I highly recommend Nerd Plumbing.

We called a few plumbers and received three quotes to do a whole house plumbing replacement. Plumbing Nerds were very good and in line with other quotes. We chose them to do the work because they were the most professional and thorough during the estimating process. Although the job took a few days longer than anticipated they did a great job. We also know they will be available if we have any further issues or concerns. Overall, we were very happy with them and will be calling them for our future needs!

Like others mentioned this outfit is there in a pinch, but expect to pay top $$ for the work. Businesses like these know they have the consumer's back to the wall and charge what they may. Guess it's just the way things are.

I just replaced all my water piping and water heater with them that went good because of that I started recommending them to Restaurants that I do work for from my Appliance Repair Buisness. I called them to make arrangements so they know it came from me. Now I have a repair at my house again for a wax ring that's leaking in a toilet (smells bad) but I have to wait a week until someone can come out?! Sorry, if I had a costumer that brings in Buisness and that just spent $16000+ I go there no later then 24hrs. later! Good for you that you guys are busy but not with costumer that I recommended anymore!

Would not use these guys. Wanted $458 for what the plumber said was a 15 minute repair. He even said """"our prices are nuts"""". Beware!!

I simply cannot say enough positive things about Eco Plumbing! We had them out to check on our water heater (which turned out was NOT the source of a small water problem), upon realizing the water heater was fine he declined to charge us anything! They have been our """"go to"""" plumbing company for a while now and WILL CONTNUE TO BE OUR PLUMBING COMPANY. They are precise, prompt and reliable. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Thanks to Jeff Eger we had a very positive experience this morning. We called early with a toilet problem and received quick service. Plumber came within 30 minutes. He was polite, professional and gave us options. We decided on a new toilet which they had in stock. He installed it and was done quickly. He wore booties and left our bathroom spotless. Great job.
