Before installation, the serviceperson explained the type of system that would be installed, the installation time, cost, etc. The work went exactly as they had explained and on time. When they finished, the clean up was amazing. The service person was extremely helpful in walking me through the use of the new system. I also received a follow-up telephone call. Through all of the years, from a phone call to schedule an appointment to service calls to installation of a new system, their service is extraordinary. And a few weeks after the installation of a new system, a note of appreciation and a wonderful assortment of delicious cookies arrived in a lovely insulated carrying case( that I use daily) . I don't know of another company who does that!!!! Thank you Empire.
Description of Work: For almost 15 years, Empire did the maintenance on my heating and air bi yearly. The serviceperson was always friendly, professional, helpful. and arrived on time. As my systems aged, a few minor repairs were done. At no time did Empire try to sell me a new system. Then last summer one of the systems simply died at age 22! At that time, I had Empire install four new systems (2 air, 2 heat). up and downstairs.

Empire sent out their technician Cutty just a few hours after my first call to them. We'd been noticing that the upstairs furnace was blowing cold air. He went into the attic to check and had it diagnosed within about 15 minutes - he said our draft inducer motor needed replacing (and then explained exactly what that is and what its role is in the heating sequence). He was able to get me a quote quickly despite the fact that part had not been loaded to their system yet (they had a recent paperless system upgrade). He was able to go get the part and install it all within about an hour and a half of quoting it. Our furnace works GREAT now! Even better than before, actually, which makes me wonder if it was really working properly all this time. Would definitely call Empire again for HVAC services.

It didnt go very well. I had to have a second and then a third person come out. After first person "cleaned" my furnace, it began making a loud noise. The second guy said i needed a new motor, fan and control panel. I allowed him to replace the control panel ($453). I dont think my fan blades had issues until they went inside and "cleaned" my system. The noise wasnt there until the first guy came out. The third guy replaced my fan, said i didnt need a new motor (first guy said i needed a new motor). Anway, i ended up paying over $600. This started out being a $55 cleaning. I would not use this company again.

There were many issues involved with this call and our Service Manager was involved from the time the issue became evident to resolution. Unbalanced blower wheels are somewhat common and generally acceptable for normal performance without creating secondary problems like excessive noise and vibration. Cleaning can further effect the balance in a positive or negative way as dirt does not build up in a uniform pattern and a clean blower wheel does move much more air creating more back pressure and stronger flow. There is end play in the motor either from normal wear and tear or as a result of long term exposure to the vibration from the blower wheel but with the new blower wheel is running as smoothly as can be expected. This system was performing well on our last visit.

The Big Deal is for rental property. I was specific with them and told them I need to be there when they perform the service/estimate. The first two appointments unfortunately had to be rescheduled due to the weather. I called due to not hearing from them and they notified me that they already performed the service. Although I told them explicitly numerous times that I wanted to be there since I had some issues that I wanted addressed.

It worked out very nicely. They installed on a Friday, thought they could leave the old thermostat in place, but my heat didn't work properly until the next Monday when they installed a complimentary Honeywell wifi programmable thermostat - yes, I can use it with my iPhone! wonderful! They were courteous, generous (at least my perception of it was that they were), and they threw in a dryer exhaust line cleaning, and 2 years of maintenance. They have financing options too - I opted for 12 months same as cash via Visa.

Thank you for your review. I really like the Honeywell Wi-Fi stats and have two at my home. I don't use it often but it's one less thing to worry about. It also makes it much easier to program as you can get it done in a comfortable place instead of standing in front of the stat. Nothing like it when you are away and remember you forgot to set back! Thanks again.

Our system reported booking your call at 3:47 pm on January 30th and our technician arrived the next morning in the scheduled window. He replaced the filter and checked out the system. You have an interesting situation that many others experience as well. A single system serving two levels and as is typical in that situation the lower level is almost always cooler than the upper level. I don't know who the original contractor was that installed your system and he most likely did abide by code at that time. About ten years ago the code finally caught up with real life requiring a separate system or zone controls for each floor of a structure. Zone controls are pretty cool. A single system can be altered to serve separate "zones" and each zone can have it's own thermostat. This is easy to accomplish when initially installing a system or replacing the duct work. It can be challenging and sometimes downright cost prohibitive in an existing structure, especially if the duct work is enclosed in walls or behind sheet rock. This is such a common issue that there is even a brand of zoning products manufactured in Cleveland OH just for retrofitting in existing ducting. Many even choose to use ductless equipment to service certain spaces as it is a more cost effective and efficient way to solve their comfort issues. Thanks for providing the opportunity to discuss the options available for zone controls. We look forward to serving you in the future.

Empire was contacted to come out and tune up and inspect our furnace. Our furnace was making a clanking noise and we wanted to get it inspected to make sure that our system was working properly. The gentleman that came out was professional and very nice. He was able to locate the sound and diagnose the issue which was really a simple fix. He checked our furnace out and everything looked pretty good. He also gave us some suggestions on keeping our system running efficiently.

We had an issue which we believed they repaired. It is in the middle of the winter and we called them this morning and they were out this afternoon which was very slow in the middle of the winter. It embedded quick responsiveness, but they were a little bit late. Their window is a four hour window but they did show up within the window. The service was fine.
