They were on time, and they were very good. I was very impressed with them. They explained everything to me, and gave me suggestions on how to prevent this in the future. My filters were dirty, and I needed more freeon. The ice melted, they added the freeon and I am now very happy. I will call them again if I need them in the future.It was worth every penny.

Very impressed with the service man Clinton who was professional and courteous. It was fortunate that he was familiar with our condo building and therefore our a/c unit. Moreover, he know where to get the key for the roof.

Empire did an excellent job. They completed the job, which was a total replacement, in less that two full days. They arrived on time and worked quickly and efficiently. The crew was remarkably courteous and polite. They removed all of the old appliances and old duct work in less than a day and removed all of the old insulation and hardware immediately. By the second day, they installed all of the new duct work, all new vents and boots, and both the AC and heating units. I love the new system -- it's perfect for our house and for our needs. Empire did an excellent job for us and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Chris Adolph was the sales representative who worked with us and helped us decide what system was best for our needs. I highly recommended Empire Heating and Air Conditioning.
Description of Work: Empire Heating and Air Conditioning totally replaced our heating and air conditioning system, including the heater, air conditioner, the old duct work, and the thermostat. In addition, they added another air vent to a room that was never vented and a second air return.

Very professional, straight-forward with no hard-sell. Some minor issues (arrived without some key equipment which meant a trip back to the office; did not leave written instructions or an accompanying handbook on the specific unit), but overall we were pleased with the service from Empire.

After inspecting the furnace, he told me that the furnace needed to be replaced. He said that he could not leave the pilot light lit because it would be a safety hazard. I was sold on needing a new furnace. I called one other company to get a quote on a new furnace. This company also has a very good Angie's list rating. The gentleman who came out checked the furnace and told me he could fix it with a part he had in his vehicle. I watched him work and he fixed the furnace, lit the pilot light and checked for carbon monoxide emissions. The gas detector showed no carbon monoxide present. The furnace was fixed for 168 dollars vs. the 2050 to 2600 dollars quoted by Empire. Making the call for a second quote saved me a bundle. I don't know if the Empire rep just misdiagnosed the problem or was trying to pull the wool over my eyes and make a big sale vs. a small repair job. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. Lesson here: getting a second opinion could save mucho $$$.
Description of Work: I called the technician to come out and help with lighting the pilot light of my furnace. After inspecting the furnace, he told me that the furnace needed to be replaced. He said that he could not leave the pilot light lit because it would be a safety hazard. I was sold on needing a new furnace. Based on their reputation on this site I would still consider using them if I knew for sure that I needed specific work performed.

The technician came out on time and climbed up into the attic and then down into the crawlspace to do a full inspection of all three natural gas furnaces. He told me that the filters were good for another six months. He explained some minor design flaws and told me of possible future maintenance issues. He explained their service contract, which I didn't sign at this time.
Description of Work: They inspected three heating units. We bought this house in the spring and hadn't yet used the heat. I wanted to have the system inspected for safety and have everything explained to me.

These people have been nothing short of amazing. I requested six bids on a replacement system for my almost 40-year old house. Empire and several others were selected on the basis of Angie's List data. Empire was by far already the highest rated. There were several small companies whose representatives were obviously experienced, well-trained and, I believe, honest (they correctly identified installation flaws in the existing system). Others seemed more interested in a quick buck. Empire, and representative Chris Adolph in particular, easily showed themselves to be the most knowledgeable of the six. In the final analysis, they also provided far more value per dollar than any of the competition. I was very fortunate to be able to obtain a highly sophisticated and, according to "the" consumer magazine, one of the most reliable systems available. The installer (THANK YOU Keith) and crew were also EXTREMELY professional; their work is nothing short of absolutely first class.
Description of Work: Designed and installed dual fuel system with variable speed heat pump, variable rate gas furnace and variable speed DC-current blower to replace 20-year old system.

The workers arrived on time and sometimes stayed late to finish so we wouldn't be without A/C. It took about a week to install and the workers were very efficient and nice. Martin (the owner) honored the Angie's List coupon twice since we were getting 2 units!
Description of Work: We purchased a 21-year-old home that had the original heating and A/C units. The house was built in two stages so it has two units. We had both systems replaced with heat pump/duel fuel/variable speed units. We also had one system installed with the zoning system. The big A/C system is a 16-seer 3 ton heat pump with freedom comfort R variable speed 80K BTU 2 stage furnace. The small A/C system is a 14-seer 1.5 ton unit with the same heat unit as the big unit. They cleaned the duct system and installed digital programmable thermostats.

Everything went smoothly. The company had estimated that we needed a 3 ton A/C unit, but the manual J calculation indicated a 3 1/2 ton unit was required. They gave us that unit at the same price. They came on time and completed the work in the time-frame they estimated. So far, the system is working well.

It didn't cost me anything for them to come and do all of the air ducts because I bought a heat pump from them and the ducts were not compatible with it, so they re-did the ducts for free. I really like them; they were helpful and came right out after the heat pump to do the ducts. I didn't have to wait a long time. They have excellent customer service and were professional.

This company has great customer service and is very polite and professional. They sent Billy out to diagnose the problem and he gave me some options for new equipment. He answered all my questions - and wore foot covers! The system was installed 4 days later. The installers were on time, let me know what was going on (they had to remove some shrubs). I noticed afterwards that the bill that they gave me was incorrect. When I emailed their office, I got a response and they sent back my voided check and a new bill. They gave a $350 discount for Angie's List customers and deducted the amount of the service call ($78). I also noticed that they had not installed a programmable thermostat as I understood I would get. When I again emailed the company, they called quickly to have Billy come out and change out the thermostat. Although everything did not go perfectly smooth, each time I brought up an issue they were very friendly, polite and quick about fixing the problem - no hassles.
Description of Work: Diagnosed problem - air conditioner not operating; installed American standard 3 ton 15 seer air conditioner with matching coil and furnace; added dampers to adjust airflow.

Toward the end of last winter, we had difficulty obtaining sufficient heat from our furnace. We decided to postpone any work until later. A couple of weeks ago, our air conditioner stopped cooling. Based on Angie's list ratings, we called Empire. A polite service man named Dave showed up promptly. He looked at our inside unit and pointed out where the furnace had completely shorted out - we were lucky it hadn't caught fire. He also pointed out problems with the cooling coils, and said the unit had a freon leak in it. He said he could do the repairs, but he said that due to the overall age and relative inefficiency of both units, he would strongly recommend replacement. He estimated repairs at about $2,500; replacement, he said, would probably be between $4,500 and $5,500. He asked that we talk to Chris, a company representative, to obtain an estimate, which we did. Both Dave and Chris came to the follow-up meeting, and Chris explained what would be needed. We accepted the estimate.
Description of Work: Empire Heating and Air Conditioning replaced our 13-year-old outside air unit and the inside air handler and heating unit. They also ran new lines from the inside to the outside (the old ones were too small to accommodate the newer unit). We chose to add a heat pump and a variable speed blower to the package.

This is a great company. Chris explained all products and helped us decide what was best for our situation and 1950s house. He followed up with emails, calls and visits until and after the job was finished. Greg and Chad arrived on time, were efficient and extremely skilled, worked quietly and with respect for us and our pets. You couldn't ask for two better installers to work with. Everything works great, equipment and price were exactly as quoted.

Everything went fine, with the exception of the service technician told me that it was his first day, I was really worried about that. I did not want a novice working on my HVAC system. He seemed confused while evaluating my situation and had to call his office. I did not receive the $20.00 off for using the coupon on Angie's List so I will not call this company again.
