Service tech found elevated CO levels and suggested replacing furnace unit. If not replacing then Burner cleaning and complete CO combustion test. Courtesy visit done three days later to meet with me and discuss elevated CO level. Test was done again and determined that CO level was well within range when reading was taken in middle of room as opposed to at the heater vent.
Description of Work: Complete check of HVAC system. Checked CO levels. Tightened belt on furnace motor.

Our service technicians are all equipped with "C O Angel" personal monitors that continuously monitor CO levels everywhere they travel through your home.. You can't see or smell Carbon Monoxide so it is the only way to know for sure if there are immediate issues. We very seldom run across levels high enough to cause concern but when we do and the source cannot be specified at the time we typically make a return visit at no cost to get the issue resolved. Thanks for your review, we appreciate your taking the time to post.

Great job done in two visits. We probably saved the cost of the a/c service in reduced electric bill.

Empire did an excellent job. Their A/C technician, a young man by the name of Lachlan, quickly diagnosed the problem (a capacitor) and repaired it. The cost, thanks to an Angie's list discount, was reasonable and Lachlan explained exactly what the problem was and how he resolved it. I will be using Empire and Lachlan, in the future.
Description of Work: My air conditioner would not come on so I called them on my lunch hour and they had a technician, Lachlan, come out the next day to repair it.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It was pretty good. I would recommend them. They were pretty honorable. The girl was on time and pretty helpful. All in all it was a good experience. I had to pay more but I expected it so the price was fine. They came out the same day.

Our records indicate a typical service call where the technician diagnosed a bad condenser fan motor. I spoke with the technician and he reported the bearings were tight to the rotor keeping the motor from turning. I have a call in to you and look forward to learning the rest of the story. Thanks for taking the time to post a review and opening the lines of communication.

=The Empire rep was very professional and explained our AC & Furnace situation with patience and clarity. He told us (when we asked) the 2 manufacturers products his company installed. We will definitely use Empire in the Spring of 2014!
Description of Work: The service tech inspected the furnace filter. He checked the AC unit (outside) by removing the cover and ran a diagnostic check on the output. For a 23 year old unit, it will need replacing at some time. He didn't try a hard-sell promotion which is probably why we will use Empire in the future. When I asked him how long it may last, he replied that it may last 10 more years. The system just would not be efficient. We will be putting this into our spring budget. He did recommend that we not wait until summer and I already knew this.

They do a good job. They don't include cleaning in their regular contract, which I wish was included, you have to pay a lot more. They come on time, and are professional.

Thank you for your review. Our planned maintenance program includes tightening, testing, adjusting and inspecting many items. We do clean contacts on the contactor, blower motor bell housings, pilot orifices and flame sensors. Our objective is to include all service needed every year on the majority of equipment. Cleaning of coils, blowers and ductwork is recommended as need. Customers that have cottonwood trees and other "shedding" landscape may need coils cleaned every year while most do not. Those with really good filters should never need the blower wheel or evaporator coil cleaned while others may need it every few years. Thanks for choosing EMPIRE

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it was all right. They came at the appropriate time and left. They did not do any follow up, but I could not beat the deal. I have no positive or negative feedback about it. It was a decent price.

Description of Work: I had a problem and I'm still working with them on getting a quote for a leak that I have. They gave a quote to fix a leak in one of the pipes that brings water to the HVAC and they would repair some of the damaged cause by the leak to the unit.

This company was offering a $55 maintenance special for each AC unit. I purchased two coupons for $110. The service technician called to say when he was on the way and arrived on time. Whenever I see special, discounted offers I'm leery that it could be a bait and switch. This couldn't have gone any smoother. I'm so glad they didn't "find" anything that needed repaired or replaced. Empire provided excellent, honest, quality service so I will definitely call them again!

I'm extremely satisfied with the work I received from Empire Heating & Air Conditioning. They came when they said they were going to come. They called ahead before they actually got to my place. They promised to do what they needed to do. Sometimes, they explained what they were doing, as far as their work was concerned.

It was okay. I thought I was getting a tune-up, but he just told me that I needed to replace some things. I wasn't really sure of what he did and didn't do, so I think he just looked at it.

Empire quickly sent out their technician to evaluate our A/C situation. He arrived on time and worked hard. When I had questions, he gave me clear, straightforward responses. When it came time to pay, he actually showed me ways to save money and also gave me ample time to do my own calculations. Our A/C is now working like new. So, Empire seems to be a good company.

The tech did a great job! He arrived earlier than planned wich allowed me to get to work earlier. He was professional and explained his findings to me in English. I'm a renter, so he too explained everything to my landlord over the phone. He recommended additional steps to ensure that the unit would last a few more years as it is an older unit. Prior to adding freon to the unit he weighed it in front of me so that I could see exactly how many pounds he used and that would be all the landlord would pay for. I then saw the reading afterwards as well. After two weeks it is blowing colder that it has in 3 years!
Description of Work: Performed a check on the A/C unit. Performed a check inside the home on the heating unit. Presented me with an estimate on the work and then performed the work.

Arrived on time and stayed until the part was installed and it was confirmed the unit was cooling and working properly. While waiting for part to be delivered, technician also provided a temporary solution for ensuring cooling comfort for upstairs. The solution worked and with the newly installed panel, the unit is working just fine. Friendly and professional technician. Excellent service. Highly recommended!

It turned out pretty good. It turned out to be a little more expensive than I had planned. I did end up spending more because I needed a part. He was very professional and he explained what I needed to know and did not treat me like I was stupid. He did get backed up and was four hours late as a result. He did call me and let me know that he was running behind. I would use him again in the future.
