"I took advantage of a free AC tune-up offer by Aire Service Over The Mountain and scheduled an appointment. Scheduling the appointment was easy and the two-hour time frame is a very good feature for someone who has to take off from work. The heads-up call telling me that the technician was on his way is a great service.
Technician Matthew C. arrived well within the scheduling window and showed great professionalism and displayed great knowledge. He methodically assessed the entire AC system (furnace and heat pump indoors and outdoors). At the time, I had not started the cooling and hence was not aware that the outdoor compressor for the heat pump did not work.  Matthew quickly found that the capacitor was not working and replaced it with an extra part he had in his tool box.  
I was very impressed with the display of cleanliness ( technician brought his own floor mat and booties to avoid carrying dirt into the house when switiching between indoor and outdoor units).  I was also impressed with the technician's professionalism and overall courtesy.  
Most impressive was that the technician did not try to pitch any other services or contracts.  He just went about performing the tune-up and explained the overall condition of the units involved.  Upon parting for the day, I then asked him whether the company provided service contracts for regular tune-ups and I signed up for such a service contract as a result of the overall excellent experience with this particular technician and tune-up.

"One Source just saved me from replacing my entire system. I called One Source after getting a repair quote from another HVAC company that told me my compressor was bad and tried to sell me a new system. One Source tech came out a few hours later and replaced a solenoid and had my ac cooling immediately afterwards. The tech was very knowledgeable and helpful."

"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."

"Came out immediately after I experienced a leak in my old water heater . Spencer did a great job replacing with a new heater and left his work space clean . Great job and price was exactly as quoted !"

"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."

"Overall, the work was done to my satisfaction.  The service man was friendly and did the job quickly.  I was not, however, thrilled with the company as a whole.  The deal was worded as if it was a local company.  I live in Ohio and I came to find out that the Fireplace Doctor is based out of Florida.  To schedule an appointment felt like I was dialing into a call center.  The people on the phone were not super friendly or helpful.  My appointment was finally scheduled for almost two months away since they were booked up in my area.  Finally, the night before the service, I received a confirmation call, however the next day no one showed up, which was frustrating because I worked from home.  When I contacted their call center again, the agent on the phone had no idea what happened and we had to reschedule for several weeks later.  Finally, when the service man did come out, he explained that the few contractors they use here in town were swamped.  I understand, however I feel a local company would probably be more useful for a service like this.  I will pay more attention to the details on these deals next time.

"We've got American Home Shield. So that kinda varies but united air temp has done some work for us. Probably a couple years ago, I think so. I think its two years ago. They did work on our air conditioning. Well you know with American Home Shield you only pay $75.00. You sign up for a year , its like something you subscribe to.  You call and contact American Home Shield and they have somebody contact you whose in line with their services and agrees to work with them. You pay $75.00 and if its not done correctly for each visit but if they come back twice you don't pay again. Its like 400 and something a year. Its fabulous, its fabulous. If you need plumbing , H VAC, lighting, its amazing. Its worth every dime. And if they can't fix it they replace it at no charge unless you want to upgrade There are some different companies but even when we refinanced our house they had us, no we bought another house in Winchester for our son. And they made us have it in with our policy and they use American Home shield. its fabulous and you don't have to do the searching or anything, If you aren't happy you just tell American Home shield. One time United Air Temp tried to talk us into , they did some plumbing work too, and they were going try to talk us into replacing it with a cheap model. That isn't American Home Shield policy its with the same thing or you can pay to upgrade. Pay the balance of an upgrade. We use it all the time. When my son has issues with his house I tell him just call American Home Shield. They guarantee they will be out within 72 hrs but its usually within 24 hours. We contacted them last week about my son's air conditioning. They came out right away, they had to order something. They had to come back out and they did last Wednesday and they fixed it."
