"I recently had Sam service and install a new AC unit in my home, and I couldn?t be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and very efficient. He took the time to explain what needed to be done, answered all of my questions, and made sure I fully understood how to operate and maintain the new system. The installation was completed quickly and done with great attention to detail. My home already feels much more comfortable, and the system runs perfectly. It?s clear that Sam truly takes pride in his work and cares about his customers. I highly recommend Sam for any AC repair or installation needs. Reliable, skilled, and easy to work with ? couldn?t ask for better service."

"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."

"Very well. Finished on the same day. Twin's Trane system bid was substantially below other bids. Personable owner did the installation, a welcome change from some of the corporate operations."

"Well it was a Saturday and, of course, our A/C decided to quit working. Given we were new to the area and recently moved into our home less than a year, we did not know any vendors. However, upon locating Mr. Ray on Angie’s List and giving him a brief summation of our problem, he came out immediately and resolved our A/C problem quickly and efficiently. He advised us about annual maintenance to insure longevity of the unit. We agreed and will be using his company for ALL of our A/C needs going forward. In a world where customer service is sorely lacking, Mr. Ray represents what all companies should strive for – good communication, honest work, and reasonable prices. If we could give him a ten-star rating, then we would. Do not hesitate to call this company for your HVAC needs!"

"J&N Heating and Cooling came out to my residence, diagnosed the issues I was having with my HVAC, provided a quote for the project, ordered the new unit, and installed it all within a short period of time. Their installer, Nathaniel, is an excellent worker and provided me the assurance that the job would get done right the first time. Their affordability will get anyone top notch service. Thank you, J&N!"

"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!"

"Did leave me a list of things the chimney needed, around $1000 worth. When I called another company to do the cap, I did not mention what was needed, and that installer said everything was fine. I don't know if Fireplace Doctor was extra vigilant or if they were looking for work. Overall, what I had them do was done timely and at the agreed price.
