I paid for the service and it took only 10 minutes. It was a quick inspection and no changes were made. The only thing I got was feedback that we would need to replace the system for an expensive replacement. They were responsive and the gentleman who came out was punctual.

At Empire it is our goal to provide great service at a fair price. We offer this special price with Angie's List to introduce ourselves to new customer and by way of providing a service that is well worth the value gain new customers for life. Please accept my apologies as we have clearly fallen short of providing that level of service for you. I have called this customer to offer our service manager to return and properly complete the inspection or a refund per their preference. We have yet to connect and I'm sure when we do this will be resolved.

They contacted the renter and scheduled service with them around their schedule. They showed up on time on the date promised and were very professional with the work performed. They then provided us with a copy of the invoice. Very pleased with the work they performed servicing the unit in the home and the renter was very pleased with the service performed as well.

That turned out well. He came out and did the inspection on a 20 year old furnace. He inspected 2 furnaces and was here for about 45 minutes. He let us know that they are still working, but we will need to get new furnaces changed in the future. Scheduling was easy and they came out before the holidays.

The early nineties was the beginning of a new generation of furnaces as the minimum efficiency levels were raised to 80% afue. Having two twenty year old units running well in is truly a good thing.

They were incredible to work with, all the workers they sent out were punctual, friendly, and helpful. They did an excellent job and were wonderful in cleaning up. Additionally they were able to solve a lot of problems I was having for years. They initially suggested and compared multiple options but I ultimately went with system that had the higher energy efficiency rating, and it has made all the difference in the world. I additionally have a service contract with them and they always take great care in checking the system, very thorough.

After studying several companies, this one came in with a good price and seemed to be knowledgeable. They were. The installation went on time, perfectly, and the technicians were conscientious and thoughtful about doing a good job. They even sent a techncian back to my house later to help me integrate the Wi-Fi thermostat with my computer when I had difficulty doing it by myself. All a part of the service.

The technician (Keith) came over, looked at the unit and could tell by the sound (!) that the HVAC pump was clogged. Apparently it froze where the line drains, outside my home. He patiently explained what was wrong, how he could fix it, and what it would cost. He showed me what he meant, and answered all my questions. Then he fixed it quickly, and charged me a total of $173, covering parts and his time. It was a painless experience, and I would trust this company again for HVAC problems. Nice guy, too.
Description of Work: Technician came out on the same day I called. Coldest day since I moved here, and my heater went out. My elderly dad is staying with me, and I was relieved they could send someone so soon.

We bought the special coupon for a system cleaning and multi-point inspection. They came out as scheduled. We were having intermittent problems with the furnace. I reported this to the technician, who investigated it and found that one of the electrical contacts had deteriorated. He cleaned the contact and the furnace has been working since. He spent his time on the problem area, and I don't know if he had time to go through all the other points in the inspection check-list, but the problem was fixed, so I was content.

We just moved into a home that has very old furnaces and they have not been maintained. I purchased 3 coupons from Empire to cover all three of the furnaces in our home. the technician had to climb into an attic on each side of the house as well as go into the basement. He was thorough and got the job done.

My AC unit had stopped working. The outside unit (fan) was the culprit. Empire came by, inspected it, and said the whole thing needed to be replaced. I didn't believe it. Seemed more like a fuse, which is what it was. The guy never did an actual test of any kind, never opened anything, inspected anything specifically, just looked at it and said "Yup, gotta replace it".

In researching this review I find we have not had the pleasure of visiting this address. We do have a customer with a similar name at a different address that called on our services in December of 2012. This address had a problem with a thermostatic expansion valve on a heat pump system. I would be glad to help with any situation and can be reached most days at our main office number. Martin Hoover. Owner, Empire Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.

It took the service man only 10 minutes to tune up one of my 2 six year old furnaces. He gave me a quote to repair the other furnace by replacing a motor that was $300 more than the company that initially installed the furnace six years ago during the house build. Both companies used OEM parts. Not sure why this company has so many good reviews? Ten minutes to do a tune up is too short and $678 to replace a motor that takes 1.5 hours is excessively priced. After both the tune up and high estimate, I do not trust this company's integrity.

Thanks for taking the time to post and allowing the opportunity to discuss motors. Our technician arrived at 10:18 am as promised and quickly diagnosed a defective motor. He recommended an OEM replacement as this manufacturer is somewhat famous for some unique parts. OEM motors are more expensive and require more time to acquire. A generic could have been used and would work but would not necessarily meet exact manufacturer specifications. Our generic motor including capacitor and two year in home warranty (same for generic or OEM) is $270 less expensive. Both are 20% less if the equipment being serviced is covered by a planned maintenance program. I believe this was all covered in the conversation with our CSR after we received the pricing from the manufacturer. The second system was serviced and noted on the invoice. You were only charged one coupon as the second service could not be completed as the unit was not functionable with a defective motor. Our technician left at 10:59 I am glad that you received the service you wanted at a price you are comfortable with. I'm sure you chose a good contractor that offers an excellent warranty on work provided. Please do accept my apologies as we obviously did not explain the options available thoroughly and fell far short of expectations. Your call will be a focus point in our next service meeting as an example of how we can better our process.

Came to the house to inspect service furnace and heat pump ($55 each). I only purchased a coupon for one unit, since we just moved in and did not know what we had. They matched the price and offered a second coupon for our additional unit. Very professional and explained everything perfectly. I will probable pick them up with an annual contract on all of our HVAC units.
