David and Chris did great work on our house. We had plumbing issues. They were kind and had great work ethics! Our family was impressed by the way they solved the issue and communicated with us. The price point was better than competitors and they took initiative to fix visible problems on the spot, instead of another company that we initially had come out to evaluate the problem. The other company charged a lot of money to just say there was a problem. read more

I thought JD Now was a reputable compay. I had them replace two old HVAC systms with new Carrier ACs. We also included complete replacement of duct work and the air filter systems. We also enroled in their after-sale service contracts. In 2026, during the heat wave, at a temp of 114F, one unit malfunctioned. A service tech dtermined that the problem was the unit's fan motor. The part was under warranty, but not the labor. The cost to replace it was $13,000 which I paid in advance. When the tech with the replacement part came to install the fan motor, he determined the root cause of the problem was a coil tem sensor that regulates fan speed. He went away and cam back 2 hrs later with the temp sensor replacement. I theen was charged $600 for the labvor associated with the temp sensor replacement although the part was installed b the same tech at the same time as the fan motor. So my fila cost was almost $2,000! I have sincve cancelled my sevice contracts with JD Now. read more

They will come to you and tell you have issues with your HVAC and then say you have a freon leak etc .... I made due diligence and had a third party HVAC and the problem was fixed by spending 300 not the 5000 job the first guy had a corny story about him playing soccer for FC jiffy lube. The second guy worked as a manual donkey breeder. read more

TDLR: Mainline sewer backup - Misdiagnosed repair $6,000 - Mainline sewer replacement $10,000 - Hit fiber cable - Was told would return to finish work - One month later (images below) no contact, yard wrecked, and moisture seeped into crawlspace. Have tried to call twice over the past four days to try to get updates but have been brushed off both times. Previously, between my parents and I, have been loyal customers for the past 20 years. I can no longer recommend their services and will be using dedicated HVAC, plumbing, & electrical services going forward. read more

We had service from them for both Plumbing and HVAC in the past week. OMG, they are amazing, knowledgeable, and don't try to sell us stuff we don't need. They answered all our questions and offered options. Josh for plumbing and William for HVAC were both exceptional. My husband is a PhD Electrical Engineer, and it's hard to please him! He expects discerning and perceptive/well-informed dialogue. He was pleased!!!! read more

I requested service and they're either using AI or they don't take the time to read the request. Asked for a lot of information and then asked for irrelevant items like my windows doors when I was requesting service for AC ... they asked me if I owned my home which is none of their business This and the low yelp reviews I caution others to stay away. I will be reporting this to BBB. read more

Plumbing-wise.. they did a decent job. As for the A/C maintenance job... they kept blowing my appointment off due to all-day emergencies.. third time they did it, my wife was like... we are not paying $127.63 to be blown off every time we schedule for our "yearly maintenance check." So I called back and asked for a refund of services never received and they refunded me a paltry $8.63!! read more

My elderly mother called these folks because her drain wasn't working. She was quoted and paid just under $20,000 to put some liner in the drain. No, that's not a typo. When she mentioned it, I had her send the quote to a contractor we've had a long, trusted relationship with. Fortunately my mom asked for her money back quickly before JD ServiceNow started work. Dodged a bullet. Our trusted contractor completed the work for $1,950. Not a typo. JD ServiceNow inflated the work by over 1,000% for an elderly lady. Stay far away. read more

I wrote about their 7K charge for a 50 gallon hot water heater in Sep. which was supposed to cost 3K total. My partner was in a panic situation and accepted it. But there was backflow between the hot and cold faucets in several places soon after. We asked for the same guy to fix the problem. They said he was not available and sent someone else. The second guy said he had fixed it and he would not charge us for this fix, but that we could buy a cleaning fix for over $300, but we would have to change the filter in our basement every few months. We did not and the backflow started again; also problems with water pressure that we never had before. No wonder they are called Service NOW.. to work with people who have panicked. Someone suggested gong to Alternative Aire. I would avoid them as much as possible. read more

Quality work very professional and excellent communication. I will be a returning customer

Very expensive service , we had a nest installed was Almost 750 just for the installation. I bought the thermostat in another place. Be careful to ask first about a quote . The guy did not tell us till it was installed , is the first time we had a service done without a quote before . read more

$2500+ for 2 guys for 3.5 hours (1.5 hours of which they told me they waited for glue to dry). Probably a 1 person job as half the time billed was doing nothing. $700+ / hr...materials were maybe 10' pvc pipe and glue (maybe $25?)....a third guy came at the end after all plumbing work was done to watch the glue dry and the waterline get re-buried because why not. felt like a scam. Won't be using again. read more

Called this company for an appointment last week. They gave me a window time between 11-2 today. By 2pm no one had showed up. I had taken off work for this appointment. Don't recommend this company. Not professional. read more

My air conditioner wasn't working so I gave this company a call. They came out the next morning and I was told it wasn't worth repairing because the unit is so old. Joshua came out the same evening to supposedly give me an estimate. He spent over 30 minutes telling me what a great company JD Service Now is but that was about all. It seemed like when I said I was going to get another estimate things changed. He never did give me an estimate and said I'd get one by email the next day. That was a week ago yesterday. I've heard nothing from them and wouldn't use them anyway after they didn't respond to my text saying no one got back to me. I had Blanton come yesterday. They replaced the capacitor (reasonable charge), and the a/c is working fine. It is an older unit so no one knows when it will actually fail but it wasn't the emergency JD Service portrayed it to be. I would not recommend them, nor will I contact a manager as that seems to be their response to the many negative reviews they have. read more

They had to replace a badly installed and complicated faucet last year and the year before that they diagnosed our hvac that only needed a new thermostat for $400, not the $4,500 according to the other quote I got. I'm surprised at the low score on Yelp, on Facebook and Google they got very high scores. read more

We had a disaster 4th of July because our water heater -past it's prime- decided 7/2 would be a great day to die. I called multiple other services and no one could come out. JD Service now was able to come out same-day, and also fixed the issue. Our tech was very knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. For the speed of service and bringing the water heater into the correct century code-wise, I felt the price was fair. I'd use them again. read more

We had JD Service Now come out to repair some plumbing leaks and a couple of other things in our basement. William was our technician and was very competent and personable. He was also very honest about the work that was needed and what work was optional. We will definitely use them again and will specifically ask for William. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. We moved into our home and I had JD come out to look at the water system. They recommended I replace it and came and installed. AFTER the installation my water smelled bad, was muddy and I was getting rust stains. They came out several times and told me the pipes needed time to flush, then it was my hot water heater and needed to replace it. I called another company who came out and told me the wrong system had been installed, it was not installed properly, water was coming into house direct from well and the price I paid was more than double what they quoted to me! They installed a new system and my water is clear, no smell and no rust. The manager that called me back from JD told me I live in the country and this is normal especial after it rains. Nothing that can be done about it. I have lived in the country for most of my adult life, never had these issues, not normal! Would not recommend using JD. read more

JD Service Now - Does this look normal.... - Plumbing Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Had the opportunity to use JD Service Now on several occasions over the years on property that my business manages. My experience with them has always been good. Joey and Michael replaced a faulty thermostat this week. They were friendly, efficient and reasonable, even checking the heat exchanger outside, showing me how much it needed a thorough cleaning, a suggestion I passed on to my client who will get it done when back this spring. Most HVAC companies, companies in general, have mixed reviews, but I have always had a speedy response from this firm, with nothing but excellent service. read more

Richard came by and gave us a tremendous check on our home plumbing. Based on that we were able to get some necessary maintenance work done and avoid future problems. Richard was extremely thorough in everything he did at our home. His supervisor, Preston, also assisted with the work order and ensured we got what we wanted at a fair price. I view JD as much a partner as a supplier. read more

Josh, as a technician, was very professional and he is not at fault. They diagnosed my bad thermostat wire and charged me $195 for diagnosing without any work and many options. To fix the thermostat wire, I was quoted $935!! Also 2 pounds of R22, clean the blower unit, thermo wire and clean oxidized pipes for $2235! How is it there are such stellar ratings? I used google and found other estimates with a flat $100 diagnostic fee and there was quite a disparity between the work needed completed. To make matters worse, the sales department called me and said there are other options to replace the unit. I asked how often should ac units be replaced and the rep told me 8-12 years... I was furious and told Josh I would no longer do business with JD services. I am a home owner on a budget and this is just unacceptable. I think business become corporate machine needing to pay overhead and costs at the expense of people just trying to earn a living and surviving. Very few times in life have I felt taken advantage of and this was definitely one of them. Choose wisely because there are many more options out there. read more

The service was a simple ceiling fan replacement. They were not able to provide a quote unless they were on site. On providing the quote they said "71 and 2" when the quote was "seven HUNDRED and twelve dollars". I feel like an idiot for signing the order without looking carefully but I do not felt they acted in good faith. read more

I purchased a year-long maintenance contract with JD Service Now in October 2022, which supposedly was to provide maintenance twice a year. My furnace was serviced in October 2022 and that's the last that I saw of JD Service. I called the company in early spring of 2023 to inquire about spring checkup. I was told by a very nice receptionist that due to the high number of emergency calls, the company would not be able to do spring checkup until later. However, she assured me that she would call at the first available opening. In addition, she sent me a thank-you card: Mr. Customer, Thank you so very much for being patient and understanding. We truly appreciate you as a member. As a reward for my patience, she included two $25 JD Bucks coupons, which have no cash value, yet do not expire. Still, I waited and waited--no phone call. I called several times as October 2023 approached. I left messages for a service manager and was told he would return my call: abject silence, even after 3 attempts to reach him. In short, I failed at getting reimbursed for the spring service that the company did not provide. Thus, I cancelled the contract and hired another HVAC company. Buyer BEWARE!!!! read more

Said a tech would come the next day. No word, no follow up, no nothing. So another couple of days without AC in a heat advisory.

They are lying DEMONS!!!!!! Fixed one leak for under a hundred dollars but same problem different bathroom turns out to be $2,000.00!!!!! They saw us coming and made quick money! I am LIVID! If you have good sense and call about your money, DO NOT USE THEM!!!!! They come in your home and make up all kind of stuff that you don't need but they need your money. They are CROOKS!!! Signed, Regret I called them read more

Just quoted me $650 for a new garbage disposal, I called another place and was quoted $299, they were literally laughing at this quote from JD. Avoid! read more

was told we needed a new AC unit which we got and it was price. and we have had several problems with it and it hasn't been installed for 2 days.. never do business with these guy... wish I would I looked at the reviews 1st... read more

The results just do not lie. Install new shower From July to October !!!!!!!!!! their plumbers reworked something and this Monday we took a shower for the first time and, - weak pressure in the shower - one body spray does not work - the handles "look" in different directions - the main shower without the Adapter Filter Mesh is very noisy - the sink faucets both jumped but one jumped heavily - it was replaced and the second jumped a little and the last plumber said that he could not repair it ?? After reading a few 5 stars reviews, I found out that they also had problems, but they were more satisfied with the qualitative apologies than the quality work, or it was very small work. The results just do not lie read more

I had to go as far as to install yelp because JD Service now is so lame that i had to review them. They took my call recorded my address, made me wait 24 hours in the North Carolina August heat then called me back to let me know they didnt come to my area. The same area i told them i lived in the same area they recorded and checked with a zip code. Sounds like they don't know what they are doing huh. Well after they told me they didnt come to my area their tech called to tell me when he would be out to my house but i had to tell him he didn't come to my area. The business seems to need a plexotom, a plexotomy is where they put a piece of plexiglass in your stomach so you can see where you're going with your head up your...well you know where im going with this. I should have guessed they would be idiots feom listening to their half fast traffic report on 106.1 talk FM.... read more

I had a leaking garbage disposal, and from my research, I deduced I needed a replacement garbage disposal. When I called to ask for a quote, I was told they do not give quotes nor neighborhood prices, but that they could send someone out. I expressed that I already knew what the issue was and that all I needed was a quote. I wanted to prevent the event where they would come and quote me a higher than expected price, and me be left having to pay their trip fee for knowledge I already had. The receptionist stated that it is unfair to them by giving quotes beforehand because people wouldn't give them a chance to do their service (this should have been a red flag that they would quote high). This was the point where she started getting short and impatient with me. I went ahead and scheduled an appointment anyway, thinking if their trip fee is on the cheaper end, so would their service. They also had good reviews. She told me I would get a callback the next morning between 8 and 10 AM. I called a few other places in the meantime for a quote as a point of reference. The next morning came and I did not receive a call. I had to call them back to ask for a call back, which came at 11 AM, saying they could send someone before 2 PM, which I accepted. When the technician/repairman came, he quoted me a price that blew the other quotes I had out of the water. Thus, I was left with a super high quote and a charge for a trip fee. When I did quick calculation, it was cheaper for me to pay the trip fee and go with someone else. This was the exact situation I wanted to avoid. The technician was patient and understanding, and asked for a few minutes to speak with his manager to see if a price match was possible. They were able to apply a small discount, but it still wasn't enough. I decided that I would go ahead and just buy the part myself to save myself some more money, but still use their service, because I was on a tight schedule. The technician was nice enough to give me the time to go out and buy the part while he took his lunch break. Positives: Cheaper end of trip fees if you need a diagnostic. Great customer service from technician/repairman. Short wait for the technician to come by. Negatives: Not transparent at all on their pricing. Higher prices compared to local plumbers. Poor customer service from the receptionist. Fell through on their promise to call me the next morning to schedule an appointment. 1/5/18 update: A manager left a voicemail while I was out of town (which may have been procced by the comment below) but gave an invalid return call number. read more

There are no real appointments. I am supposed to be seen today, but I'm "on call". This is the second time this has happened and I will not use them EVER again. Don't waste your whole day waiting for them! read more

Update 11/15 Absolutely the worst service!! Cancelling service just because they can't be bothered to do a job they quoted to do long term. Even the Owner could not provide a valid answer to why this was happening. Avoid at all costs. BBB shall be getting an email from me regarding there work practices and standards. read more

My garbage disposal wasn't working. I called and got an appointment the next day. They called twice during the day to keep me apprised of the tech's arrival time. Juan came and was super courteous, nice and straightforward. Gave me quotes for unjamming, broken they bring and install replacement, broken I provide they install replacement. He got it unjammed (yay!) and I decided to purchase a new one myself for them to install later. He gave me horsepower and model recommendations (who knew?). My water heater probably needs replacing (over 18 years old) and he spent a lot of time discussing options with me. I appreciated the discussion and then got quotes for several options. He helped me with setting up 0% financing and I made an appointment for the following week to get everything done at once. Very pleased. read more

I had a wonderful experience with JD Service Now this Spring! Prompted by a Duke home energy audit, I shopped around quite a bit before settling on a company to replace my air conditioner and furnace (both were still functional, but original to my home, so 31 years old!). Chris Edwards, the HVAC Manager who came to my home was knowledgeable, kind, and so patient. Before he came I got an emailed bio so his face would be familiar and I'd know a bit of his background. He explained so many things to me- and I badgered him with questions! Since I'd met with so many other vendors I knew enough to question why he was suggesting certain things and not others, and he patiently explained and educated me. They were very competitive, as far as price, and kindly changed my quote a few times based on things I changed my mind about. Less than 2 weeks later, Neil Faircloth and Chris (a different Chris) came and got started on the install. I got the same bio emailed to me for Neil, which was such a nice touch! We were told that the install would probably take a day and a half. That was fine with me- they're doing a specialized job that I know nothing about! They were so friendly and very professional. At various points they coordinated a plumber to come out and check something (that turned out to be a false alarm, thank goodness!) and electricians (for the wiring involved with installing a new HVAC system). At no point did I doubt the knowledge, judgement and level of skill that all of these professionals exhibited. The job ended up taking two and a half days due to the size of our crawlspace and the fact that we were relocating the furnace there from another location. They kept us in the loop every step of the way and apologized many times for the delay- once again, this didn't bother me in the slightest! We were only without heat for one night, but they kindly lent us excellent space heaters and we weren't at all uncomfortable. Chris Edwards handled the financing for us, explaining the various options. He was very responsive to emails (and once again, I asked LOTS of questions!). He also filed for the Duke Energy rebates we were eligible for, and helped me file for the PSNC Energy rebate. Replacing an HVAC system is not an easy decision to make, nor is it a fun thing to deal with as a homeowner. Large home improvements are often stressful, expensive, and you can sometimes be left wondering if you made the right decision for your home and your bank account. However, in this case, JD Service Now never had me doubting I'd made the right choice. I feel relieved now that I've taken care of something that was weighing on my mind since we bought our house 7 years ago. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone. read more

Watch out. These guys have messed up servicing my tankless hot water heater and permanently etched my basement floor with their acidic cleaning solution. They spilled it over 50 sq ft. Have tried 4 times to clean it including a company with hot, high pressure washing. The result is my permanently etched and discolored basement floor. read more

I used them once to take care of a replacement of a water heater, thought the price was high. Then my wife signed up for a yearly service agreement at $175 for them to come out and check the systems for a year. I feel their pricing is over the top and too much for what they do. Every time they come to look at something they give an estimate that out of this world. I had them give an estimate for a repair they came in at over $800, thought it was too high, had my regular plumber do the same repair for around $350 will not be using in the future. read more

We had JD Service Now over yesterday to help us figure out why our water wasn't getting hot enough to fill the garden tub in our new home. John, the sales manager, was AMAZING at explaining all of our options. He understood that we weren't able to replace the water heater now (what eventually needs to happen) and helped us choose a temporary fix that made the most sense. The two technicians were friendly and did solid work. They stayed until nearly 7pm on a Friday (!) just to get the job done. We signed up for an annual membership because we were so pleased with the service. read more

Had JD Now come in due to broken AC. They diagnosed the problem, ordered the part, and took care of things (at over $4000), all seemed great. 48 hours later it stopped working, had them come back out, they did some work and couldn't find any issues and got the system seemingly working again. 72 hours later got home from work today and once again it has stopped working. That's twice since it was installed last Tuesday that the AC has stopped working.......doesn't seem like money well spent at this point. The actual employees and company have been extremely professional and courteous this whole time but that doesn't account for the fact that one week later and $4000+ spent and we still don't have a functioning AC read more

TLDR: To replace a simple, single p-trap, I was charged $176.90. So they hook you with the $80 visit fee, and then wildly overcharge you if it turns out to be something simple and easy. They refused to provide a precise time (just 12 hour window) and cancelled on me the first day. Then, the second day, when they finally did show up, they charged a $80 fee which is "refundable against the repair charge" if you pay them to do work on your house. Though I asked multiple times, they refused to quote any prices ahead of their visit, even for a simple 5-minute repair. It turned out to be a 2 minute diagnosis and a 5-minute repair but, as I feared, their price quote was wildly inflated. $180 for 7 minutes spent at the house and maybe 10 total minutes driving (at their supreme convenience) comes out to $635 an hour. Nice! They must be raking in the bucks (off your back)!! read more

I have had their service plan for many years now and have always been happy with the quality of work (plumbing and HVAC). Now the downside. 1. They give a day instead of a 2-4 hour block like other companies which is very annoying. During Covid I'm home all the time so it's not a big deal but otherwise, who has time to sit around ALL DAY waiting for them to show up. They spin it as a good thing ("go about your day and we'll call you") but the reality is that I can't do a lot of normal things when I have to be ready to rush home at a moment's notice. I only use them when I can be first of the day so I know then they're coming. Also, a couple of times this year, I've called them at the end of the day because no one has showed up and they said they couldn't make it that day so I end up waiting around the next day too! Also, were they even planning to tell me they couldn't make it? 2. OUTRAGEOUS PRICES!! I've always used them for things where I don't really have a concept of how much it should cost but this time it just felt way overpriced (and Google agrees). $367 to install a toilet that I already purchased. $1200 to install a bathroom vanity that I already purchased. $530 to replace showerhead, faucet, and drain (external only) in bathroom. I won't be using them anymore. read more
