Called EF Martin for annual furnace maintenance service. Had no problems getting someone on the phone to schedule the appointment. The attendant was very pleasant and efficient. I was scheduled for 2 - 4pm appointment. The technician arrived at 2pm, which was great. Dennis was very thorough and explained everything to me clearly. I highly recommend this company!

Service Tech was on time, professional, courteous, and efficient. He found a small part that needed repairing so I'm sure that will keep me cool this coming summer. E F Martin has always been a cut above the rest and it shows in all they do. Thanks!!

Part installed for $500 and broke in less than 5 months. Now they want to charge another $500 to do it again. Refuse to take responsibility. Avoid at all costs.

Everyone is professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. I wanted to have them replace my unit...I just couldn't afford it even though they were fairly priced. I trust them and each check up goes well. I was told when I would probably need to address my issues was not forced to tricked into buying anything,

My unit went out following a storm. Fearing lightning damage my insurance company told me to get three quotes. I was told by two other local companies that my unit needed to be replaced and could not be repaired. Turns out it was a simple fix that E.F. Martin wrote up for me to turn in to my insurance company and I was able to get the unit repaired without having to file a big claim which would make my premiums go up. I will definitely be using them in the future

Could not have gone better. Called about an estimate, had someone come out with all the info on a Friday morning. Spoke with the office about the estimate, to go forward. They were able to get techs back the same day to install the system! My husband is no longer sneezing in the house, we can sleep better, and we are having to dust less.

Did not feel like much was done on the 'servicing' side, but 'inspections' were in depth. New filters were supposed to be included with each trip but were never given any. Unit was looked over well and all issues were reported and explained. Technician was very easy to talk to.
