Empire called to tell me the technician was on the way. He arrived on time and was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable, He went through my systems(in preparation for winter), changed the air filters and gave the systems a clean bill of health. He explained about Empire and what they offer and he was a pleasure to talk to, friendly, professional, Definitely an A++ job.

The representative showed up on time and presented himself friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Since I had two units, and I was unaware that the coupon I purchased only covered one, he immediately advised to go online and purchase an additional coupon so that he could inspect both units and replace both filters. He performed his job well and in a timely fashion. I have no complaints about his performance. I would definitely use this company again, and/or recommend it to someone else who prefers honesty.
Description of Work: This provider installed filters on two units and performed a system's check for other intricate working parts of two furnaces.

It turned out to be interesting. They ended up giving me an estimate for some work which I didn't do too much comparing with other companies. It was much bigger than what other companies would have charged. I told them that and I expressed my discontentment with that. They ended up working with me on the price and refunding me some amount. Initially, I was upset with the high estimate but they're willing to work with me. They suggested a price close to $400. I ended up doing a little further research. It turned out most companies would've charged $250. I told them that and they got it down to closer to $300.
Description of Work: I purchased a "Big Deal" for Empire Heating & Air Conditioning. The deal was for the inspection and filter change. During the inspection, they found something wrong with it.

Thank you for posting. Our focus on pricing is to offer the best value which is often more that just the lowest price. We want to do repairs correctly and completely while offering the best warranty. All of our repairs carry a minimum full one year on site parts and labor warranty. Many carry five years.

Empire was great. They were punctual and professional. After a thorough evaluation of our system they identified the issue (a failed blower) and repaired the unit the following day. Our system is over a decade old and I'm very glad that they had the part and were able to fix the issue promptly.
Description of Work: Our AC went down right before a check up and we had Empire come out to take a look.

The service man arrived the same day as our call. After seeing the a/c; he informed us that the a/c we have in our condo is tied into the entire building and is a commercial grade unit. We would have to contact another company for that. He did give us the name of two commercial a/c company's. Even though Empire came out to our place; they refused to charge us or take any payment for the appointment. The entire experience from the initial phone call through the appointment was very courteous, prompt and professional. I highly recommend Empire Heating & Air Conditioning.

It actually didn't necessarily meet my needs but the vendor was fine. It's only the type of deal that will work for you if there is like a problem cloud. There wasn't any additional charges to that. Two days later I had a problem again and had to pay to have them to come out again. With those things I probably wouldn't do that kind of deal. It's a complete waste of your money. It was sort of like a diagnostic. They looked at it and there was nothing going on at the time.
Description of Work: They checked on a problem with a damper. They could not tell what was wrong in this visit.

It didn't go good @ all 3 units was low on freon,the 4 ton was very empty it told 8 lb, instead of the svc provider testing for the leak he charged 2 of the units a 4 ton & the 2 1/2ton ,cost about $600 around 8hr later the 4 ton was empty again, I call the Co.Empire & they said they can replace the unit for about $4000.00,I had to call a reliable Co. from Miami to come up svc & repair my 3 a/c's $1400, today working great. This is the 2nd time I have had a bad experience with a contractor from Angie list, electraMedic installed a outside light $89 it work for 3 days ,call Co.out of business.

I must respectfully disagree with this opinion. On the original call we did find units low on refrigerant and one extremely so. We clearly recommended a leak search and repair as there were obviously substantial leaks in the system. We advised against recharging without repair. In short order we made a return call free of charge to find the unit had lost refrigerant and even provided a complimentary leak search to find a leaking evaporator coil. We quoted replacement of the evaporator as well as a system upgrade. Our technician followed procedure, documented and advised customer properly and even provided complimentary services.

Came to my condo in Midtown - checked the A/C unit - noticed that it was low on coolant - topped off the coolant - noticed that a capacitor was faulty - didn't have one on his truck so came out the next day and replaced the capacitor.

When the technician came on Thursday, I was told he couldn't do anything to fix our a/c because the lines were frozen. We had been hot for 2 days. I was particularly annoyed when he told me he would have to return the following day at a $61 charge for coming back out. I was not told to shut my a/c off the day before they came out which would have prevented the problem. I voiced my complaint on that issue and was told they would come out again without the additional charge. That was excellent customer service. The technician Jaren was very polite and helpful. He was also respectful of my home, putting on shoe covers to walk in the house. We will need a new a new a/c unit next summer and I will definitely be calling them to take care of that. They were able to put freon in to get me through the end of summer and I greatly appreciated that.
Description of Work: Freon was added and the filter was replaced.

My 2 air-conditioning units stopped cooling the house in July (hottest part of the year). Had another company come work on it which they could not do - but cost me $700 where they put in lots of Freon. Scott from Empire came over, he was very professional and knew what he was doing. He had to remove some Freon and balance the pressure and voila everything worked. Its been 2 weeks and everything is working very well. Very professional service with great results.

It went well. I used a $69 offer I had bought through Angie's List. When I asked another service provider whom I had used in the past if they would match that rate, they laughed and said there was no way that it was only going to be $69 considering we were in the middle of the hottest part of the summer. Technically, the other service provider was right - I believe there was a $10 charge for the air filter - but considering the age of my HVAC, I was holding my breath. The tech who came out said that it was old but in good shape. All in all, a good deal. I will use them again.

Thank you for posting. It is true we do not match pricing. There are many factors that go in to providing a service unlike a product. We offer the best pricing we can to deliver service at best practice standards and post maintain a modest profit. The $69.00 introductory service special on Angies's List is the least expensive offer we have for air conditioning service.
