"Fast response and excellent work , Tyler Did a great Job, very pleasant and honest. Replaced the man shut off valve for the water ."

"I called John after another company had told me I needed a $5,000 new condenser because my compressor had gone bad. After a couple of hours troubleshooting the tech "Tim" went to town cleaning out the coils. They were filthy. The other company - who had been "servicing" this system for my elderly parents had never once cleaned the coils. After cleaning them twice, using some foaming chemical that breaks up dirt - he got the system up and running without overheating - as it had been. These guys REALLY took their time to fix my condenser instead of trying to privateer big bucks by selling me a new system. I will never call anyone else again. This is an honest professional."

"Had wade install a Mitsubishi Mini Split with 4 ceiling units on the 2nd floor to assist with heating and cooling issues. The whole process was easy from beginning to end with very clear and quick communication. Also had them repair an existing system at the same time that was quick, hassle free and got me fixed up properly. I want to especially thank Lonnie, Mr Wade and the Installers for their expertise and professionalism along the way. I am extremely satisfied with the Mitsubishi units that were installed and would highly recommend their services!!!"

"Airpure was excellent - our AC stopped in the middle of the recent hot spell of 90+ degree days -- they came out to look and evaluate the day I called them - and due to the extreme heat and the fact we had zero AC they were able to schedule us for replacement the very next day (after showing me exactly what was wrong and answering any questions I had and they told me exactly what the cost would be and what parts they would be using and the work that had to be done). The installers came on time and explained everything that had to be done and they were extremely professional and got the job done quickly and verified that everything was running fine and explain what I needed to keep an eye on and left me instructions how to get in touch with them if needed. They cleaned up everything after the install and things have been working great. The price of the job was exactly what was estimated on the first day - no hidden charges or surprises"

"There was a problem with the coil on the both units. I was covered on the warranty but I had to pay $1000 each to replace them. Their customer service was good but I am not recommending them now."

"J A Sauer has well-trained, efficient, courteous installers. They communicate well, clean up after the work, take away removed equipment, and offer maintenance advice. We have used Sauer for about four years now and have a Mitsubishi Slim system and a Carrier AC system they installed. Very happy with the work--not the least expensive, I'm sure, but fair for the quality of work and equipment they offer"

"They are a family business and are very professional. I recommended them to our neighbors. We have never had any problems or issues."

"We had initially planned to work with another company, but their technicians fell ill and the project was delayed longer than we could accept. Reviews of South Hills Electric were very good, so I contacted them to bid. The initial technician they sent out underbid the project and didn't fully review all our needs. I discovered the missing information on the bid (lesson learned: always review all the details!) the day before the work was to be done. I called the office and expressed my concerns. Donna sent Natalie out to review the situation that afternoon. The quote was re-bid significantly higher than the original. However, given the situation, they renegotiated a compromise. Natalie and another technician (I'm sorry I don't remember his name) came out on time the next day. All work was performed professionally, efficiently, safely, and completely. After they left, one GFCI outlet in the kitchen wasn't working. Natalie came back immediately and replaced the outlet. She was very thorough as she worked with all of our (very old) wiring, rewrapping, capping and grounding as needed. I feel so much safer and our new fixtures look great (we bought them, but they installed). I would certainly contract with this company again."

"Sooo....first, Jim is a very nice guy.  However, Jim now works in Nashville during the week and is only home to the Huntsville area on the weekends.
My first impression of him was that he was awesome.  My computer system had crashed because I pulled the plug during a thunder storm before the computer fully shut down which resulted in the computer hanging up.  Jim took my call while in Tennessee and suggested how to fix the system.  For this I am very grateful.

What happened next was I had him come and check my computer to make sure everything was working properly.  He came to my house and spent an hour tweaking it (basically running various checks on the system), for which I paid him $50.  He suggested that my laptop would work much better if I had Windows 7 and increased my RAM up to 4 GB.  He said he could install it for me for (including the RAM) for about $160.  We met the following weekend for the handoff and he loaded Window 7.  When I received the call it was ready, the bill was $227.50.  I was surprised that is was $70 more than quoted, but paid it anyways.  When I asked about the RAM, he mentioned he did not upgrade the RAM and this would be another $60.  I was a little discouraged at that point since I felt like I was being taken advantage of, but the guy is relatively nice, so I said to go ahead and order the RAM.  He did so and the following weekend was supposed to install it.  Due to some personal things in his life, he wasn't able to install it, so I picked it up since I had to go out of town and could use the IT guy at my new location to install it for me.  When we went to install the RAM, the system wouldn't let us do it since my particular type of laptop can only take 2GB of RAM max.  If Jim had gone to the crucial.com website (where he bought my RAM) and entered my computer system on it, it would have told him the max amount of RAM that could be installed on that unit.  He did not do that.  He is supposed to refund my $60 this next weekend.

I think if Jim wasn't burning the candle at both ends by having a job in Tennessee during the week and trying to run this business on the weekends, it would've been a better experience.  Perhaps taking a few extra minutes to SLOW DOWN and write out an estimate of everything he would need for the job including the prices would ensure people know up front how much the repair would/should cost so they can budget accordingly.  I think if he had taken that approach, it might've been a better experience.  So now I am stuck with a laptop that runs slower because Windows 7 uses more memory and a laptop that can't be upgraded to more RAM.  Basically, the last step which cost me almost $300 was not necessary.  If you need something simple done like coming back from a system crash, he would be okay to use.  Otherwise, for the bigger jobs, I recommend he provide a written estimate with the items he plans to do.

UPDATE:  After posting this review, I received a number of text messages from Jim commenting on the bad review.  I understand he is upset, but harassing someone about a review is not a good way to go.  My review was honest and not meant to be mean, but to let those that use Angie's list get what they pay for...an honest review of someone's experience."
