"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."

"The gentleman that came did a great job and I'll be hiring him from now on when I need repairs. He went above and beyond to make sure my family had running water with no leaks. Very professional best plumbing company in mansfield/ashland You would be wrong not to hire this company Thank you so much"

"While the price for the job may seem high, out of the three estimates we received from local businesses Joe Behr was the lowest price for the efficiency rating we desired; therefore, I gave them an A for price. They also provided specific written details about the available tax credits for both the furnace and air.
Every transaction, from getting the estimate to having the units installed, occurred in a very timely manner. We had several commitments that put us on a tight schedule and Joe Behr was able to meet our timeline.
We have definitely noticed a difference in our utility bills and comfort level in our home since replacing our 20+ year old furnace and air. With our old furnace we kept the thermostat at 66 during the day and 62 at night. The last two winters have been so bitter cold that we raised the thermostat to 68 all the time. I expected to see an increase in our utility bills but they decreased significantly--in spite of the colder winters and the toastier house. Another bonus is that the upstairs and downstairs are within 1 degree of each other. No more cold bedrooms in the winter!
Bottom line is that the service was great and the efficiency of the furnace has proven to be exceptional during two winters that certainly put it to the test.

"We were prepared to replace the entire unit ( $10,000 or so) but they told us there was no need to repalce the heat pump, saving us a lot of money. Very professional from beginning to end."

"Installed new heat pump with heating coils. We were at work over the install, Dale had access to home. No worries, professional and cleaned area where work was performed."

"New installation went well. I was a little upset that only 50% was covered being that the unit was 19 years old. I'm sure that parts for something that old would be hard to find. Replacement was recommended."

"Went fine - Cleaned dryer vent inside.

"Tim and Ken did an amazing job on our roof and siding. Tim's mid ohio was one of the quotes we got they weren't the highest or the lowest but they seemed to be the most honest. Jason was personally and sat down us and explained everything. We would recommend thos company to anyone"
