Although I called regarding a $55 dollar maintenance call there were other issues that needed to be addressed. This was a short sale property I had aquired so I knew there could be issues with the unit as is would not run continuously. The representative was on time and did a analysis of the unit. I had already done some research so I had an idea of how much the job would be. He did the check up and went right into the issue that was causing the unit to shut off. He explained everything to me and even had a manuel that explained the issue in-depth. Since this is a rental property I wanted everything checked. He did that and most importantly gave me options. He was forth right and because I google and research everything, what he said was true. He wasn't pushy but candid about the results of each option.
Description of Work: Routine maintenance on the a/c, replaced battery, got the sensor working properly and drained a clogged line.

We had purchased a big deal for the service, and it turned out okay. The problem was that I thought they were going to do a complete check up of the air conditioning and heating, and then when they got here, they said it was just one or the other. I had to pay an extra 55 Dollars to purchase another. They seemed fine. They weren't exceptionally friendly, but they seemed to know what they were talking about, and explained a few things that I had asked about.

I am happy to provide a second review for Empire service. This was the second time they returned to service a second and different unit. Empire stuck with the discounted charge of its coupon. No bait and switch here, charge for additional work not covered by Empire discount . I am sure Empire would charge for additional work for old unit requiring extra work. However, they have earned my trust because they are honest when recommending any additional work. I highly recommend their service and purchasing their maintenance service packages. I plan to use their services in the future for all my heating and A/C needs.

Overall good experience. Technician was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The only issue is that I requested service between noon and 4PM, and he didn't arrive until about 5PM. It would have been nice if Empire had communicated that he was running behind; it's no big deal; these things happen. I would definitely recommend Empire for HVAC service.

Thank you for your review and please accept my apologies for running late. In the service department our technicians move directly from one call to another and on rare occasions get held up as we never know exactly how long each repair call will take until the conditions are assessed. We typically rearrange the schedule as the day progresses and can get technicians to your home on time over 95% of the time. It is our policy to call anytime we cannot hit a service window and we obviously didn't accomplish that for you. Thank you for you patience and again, please accept my apologies.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It went reasonably well. I won't call them again but they came and did what they were supposed to do. Nothing stood out. They were good but not outstanding. Their price was reasonable. I would not use them again because I got the unit replaced and they were not the low bidder.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review. I must agree we are seldom low bid, our target is to be best value when all factors are considered. Verified workforce, NATE certification, Warranties, future service and all the little things to install to best practices. We clearly fell short of communicating our value and making a best first impression. I'm sure you contracted with a good company and I wish you well.

The technician arrived as expected, quickly noting that the fan had flown off of the compressor, a condition he said he had not seen before. After calling the office to place an order for a replacement fan, he indicated that it would take about 7-10 days for the part to come in. He returned during the expected time frame and installed the fan. Before leaving, he checked the furnace filter as well as a downstairs vent, in which I suspected mold. He was very helpful and he was professional in his manner.

Thank you for your review. Depending on the Manufacturer to time to receive and the cost of specialty parts is dependent on the local distributor. In my opinion we should be able to get just about anything in three days BUt OEM distribution just doesn't seem to work that way. Thank you for your patience.

We replaced our entire system with Empire. Chris met with us to review options to replace/upgrade the gas furnace, air conditioner and improve the ducting. The crew delivered all work on schedule. They followed up the job with an inspection to assure job was completed per contract and factory settings on all equipment. We plan to use Empire for yearly maintenance, these guys know HVAC.

Response from Empire Heating & Air Conditioning
We do offer a very inexpensive duct leakage test and are certified by the State of Georgia for DET (Duct and Envelope Tightness). This test determines the total leakage of the system but does not locate the location of the leaks. Locating leaks is a process and becomes easier with experience. When the technician has tested the system and inspected the duct system he can determine the types of framing, connections and existing sealing materials to determine the cost of correcting the problems. Once corrected another DET test is completed to evaluate the effectiveness of repairs. Duct leakage testing is most often requested by those experiencing indoor air quality issues or high energy consumption. There are times we test to find the duct system acceptable and the source of problems to be elsewhere and of course more often we find duct leakage in the 40 to 50% range that needs to be brought under control. In offering a very low cost duct leakage test we hope to allow our customers to use the service as a tool to determine the proper course of action in creating a perfect indoor climate.

Technician appeared to be competent but I heard a couple of loud crashes while he was working on units in the attic. When he was done with his inspection and service he recommended that I replace the coolant in both units. I declined that service until I could get a 2nd opinion. I must admit that I did not some understand some of the technical information that the technician reported to me after his inspection.

Our technician Eric noted last year when he was there that both systems needed adjustments to the refrigerant charge and they were low. He also recommended checking for refrigerant leaks to determine where the systems were leaking from. Systems running low on refrigerant are less efficient and will eventually stop working altogether.

I noticed my A/C was not cooling as well as I thought it should. I bought the Big Deal hoping it was something simple. They came and performed the inspection noting that most points were working fine, but noted there was evidence of a leak. The offered to perform leak detection and also refill the coolant. I asked for the coolant to be filled and they performed that. Based on the set-up at my house, he noted that I will most likely need a replacement A/C system soon (I already knew that). What I did not know wast that the condensor unit would only use R-20 coolant (new supplies of this are banned in the US due to environmental issues). He noted that once this supply runs out there will be no more coolant for this unit. Therefore I will need to replace the entire system (I did not know that). He didn't try to pressure me into it immediately, but suggested I just wait a while and see how this holds out and re-evaluate next year. Overall I was happy with his honesty, prompt service, and the price.

It didn't go that well. He came down and I think he was in a rush and with the quote that he gave us. He didn't really wanted to run anything and he had another client that he was trying to get to. The service was not good so I ended up going with somebody else. I don't think they actually did anything and could not diagnose that there was something . I think he was was new with this company and he acted like he did not know much.

Our technician Jaren was out and determined the system was completely out of refrigerant and noted all the Model and Serial numbers for future reference. He verified that the equipment was outside the OEM five year warranty and recommended a leak search to determine the source of the problem. It is good to know the problem has been resolved and I appreciate your taking the time to post a review.
