"The primary problem I needed to have addressed was my laptop, which would only boot to a yellow blank screen and I was looking for a local service in Huntsville so I could drop it off if necessary.  Another major consideration was that North Alabama Technical Services was available on Sunday, which was when the service was needed.  Jim suggested some steps to clear the problem, and I was able to get the laptop to boot properly.  There were operating problems with both the laptop and my desktop computers and I was sent software to allow remote access.  Jim, at North Alabama Technical Services, was extremely professional and capable in correcting the problems remotely.  The scan of the desktop took almost 4 1/2 hours to complete, and identified some 77 infected files.  Before the scans were initiated, a number of programs were identified that had unknown sources, and were deleted.  When we began the process, I was on the phone to initiate the remote access and was impressed with the professionalism and competence as Jim talked me through the processes on both computers, and showed me what he was doing.  We disconnected during the long duration scan, but I was able to monitor the progress on my monitors and Jim called me back at the end of the scan to go over the wrap up processes.  He showed me that my 2 MB of RAM could be upgraded to 4MB and found the appropriate memory on Amazon for under $20, and loaded 3 recommended scanning programs on my computers with 30 day free trials and provided costs of the programs, if I were to purchase.
I will definitely use this service again, if required, and would recommend North Alabama Technical Services for anyone needing computer services.

"Tomas and his crew did a full double replacement of two zone HVAC system. Everything was well explained before and during the entire installation. They showed up right on time, were courteous and pleasant to speak with and finished the entire replacement and professional startup in just 1 day. I highly recommend contracting Vortex air for your hvac needs. You will get efficient professional service at a price that beats the large contractors in the central Virginia area."

"Overall, we were VERY impressed with the work done, the price for the work and the end results. The machines are noisy, but there is not much that can be done about that. Expect that if your duct work is more congested than originally noted, it will take longer to get the job done. However, Keith does stay until it is complete. There is no charge for the length of time they are here - he quoted us the price prior to the job and that was the price we paid.

1/3/13: As an addendum to our experience with A-1 Duct Cleaning Services, I offer some advice. Keep a copy of your sales agreement in a place you won't forget - you may need to refer back to it at a later date. If you do purchase the disinfectant part of the service for your ducts, keep close track of the dates (i.e., every three months for example) in order to contact A-1 to set up your appointment for them to come back and perform this service. They will not contact you and remind you.

We did call to have our units disinfected several months later (around August), however only the upstairs unit was sprayed due to my misplacing the sales agreement and A-1 thinking we only paid for one. On Jan. 1, 2013 found the sales agreement showing that both units were to be disinfected and providing the agreement to A-1.

We strongly recommend keeping the sales agreement close at hand and marking on the calendar every three months to contact A-1 to make an appointment for the disinfectant.

"Jason Johnston and his staff were, and always have been, professional, more than competent and trustworthy! We had a major issue with the installation of our wood burning furnace by another local company, as well as that same company completely messing up our heat pump. We were left flat with a tremendous mess on our hands. I found Johnston's company and he came in and actually took the time to look over the specs for the system and worked with us to get it straight. We have had to have him return for that system several times, for things that were our fault not his, and he has always been prompt, attentive to our concerns and fair and honest in his dealings with us. We highly recommend you consider hiring this company for your HVAC needs."

"Jake and his team were great. They installed as agreed and did so in a professional manner. The project took a couple of days but they held to their word and did everything well. Very customer focused and will work until you are happy. Highly recommend."

"CHW was very responsive to our urgent need! We filed a claim the evening prior when we notices our A/C was blowing warm air into the rooms. Then by 8AM the next day, we had a call from the service technician saying he was on his way to address the issue! CHW worked with the technician to find out the compressor was the culprit and approved it's repair! Great customer service for a family in need during the hot south central Texas summer!"
