Both technicians were very professional. One worked on one system and the other on the unit outside.
Description of Work: I purchased the $39 Service Call. The capacitor was reported as reading 15 (Dual Run Capacitor 45/5) so it was replaced.

Things went perfect. Technician showed up early after calling to ask if we would be home. He diagnosed the problem, called the office to see if they had parts in stock and returned three hours later to complete the job. The technician was professional, polite and friendly. Could have not gone better. Thank you E.F. Matrtin and especially Jeremy

I had been told by another company that I needed to have my duct work replaced. It is only 7 yrs old so I contacted EF Martin for a free second opinion. They came out and did a visual inspection, showed me photos of where the other company said that there was damage and advised me that there were minimal repairs that needed to be done but that the work was still covered under the installing companies warranty.

The service adviser came out and gave us a price. We got three estimates and they were in the middle but were also providing us with more options. The install crew showed up on time and were very polite while on site. They called a few days later to check in and see how we were doing. It was a very simple process. Would use them again in the future,

My heat went out in the middle of the night. The tech came right out. There was no after hour fee since I am a maintenance customer. The part was not available for 2 days but they were kind enough to provide me with heaters to keep me warm untilit was replaced.

I guess all right. It's winter and I'm not using it now but Jeremy was very nice. Checked and cleaned the heat unit, checked the air conditioner, cleaned filters. I didn't watch him do everything but he was very nice and answered all my May questions while in the house. I trust he did a good job outside.

Chris called ahead to let me know when he would arrive. He was friendly and informative. He took his time to ensure all components were checked and didn't rush the job (even though it was extremely hot outside). He took the time to answer all of my questions and provide helpful information. Excellent service!

It went fairly well. They told me what they were going to do. The guy who showed up wasn't quite sure what he was going to do. When they installed the unit, they didn't do what they said they were going to do. They had to come back out and they billed me when they came back out, for something that they should have done to begin with. They could have done the work that they said they were going to do the first time.

I received a prompt response from E F Martin Mechanical Contractors. The technician was very knowledgeable. He advised me that my current unit that was 17 years old could not be repaired at a cost that made economic sense. I requested an estimate to replace the unit. I obtained two other estimates and took the one from E F Martin. The unit was installed quickly and works great. My estimate did include some items that I did not consider essential and so I did not have those items replaced or added.

My system passed with flying colors. I do need to keep tabs on the rusting situation. They have all kinds of plans for preventative maintenance. Yes I will call again. .
Description of Work: I asked E.F. Martin to come out and check my system for any problems. Chris performed a 22 point inspection of the heating and cooling system. He cleaned the coils on both the inside and outside units. He recorded Freon levels and presented them to me as he read them. He took photos of some rust damage of the inside unit. Those are just 2 of the 22 major items he checked. His assessment was detail and very informative. Very professional.
