Stay away. Terrible experience. Had used them for a few years, was a repeat customer, and thought I could trust Empire. I was wrong. My AC unit was malfunctioning, and I scheduled myself to be their first appointment with arrival between 8am and 9am. 9am came and went, and no one from Empire contacted me. I…

Terrance is one of the very few people I trust when it comes to having our HVAC serviced. Not only that, he's truly one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. I can't tell you the number of HVAC companies we've had over the years, and Empire is the most reliable. It's mainly because Terrace is the best of the best,…

I’ve used Empire for years. They never disappoint. Today was no exception. Joshua Adams was fantastic: thoroughly professional, cordial, and charming, to boot. He carefully walked me through maintenance issues with my AC unit. No stress, just the facts: highly recommended.

Service Tech was great (Jacoby C). He immediately took in the vibe of our home and played along accordingly. Really nice guy - friendly but also got to work. Done fast. Friendly. Not the cheapest but when you make a call at 9:00 and he shows up at 11:00 and done by 11:30 - hey- you get what you pay for. In…

Empire Heating and Air Conditioning is not a good option for business owners leasing commercial space. When I attempted to schedule a routine HVAC maintenance inspection, I was told I could not do so without explicit permission from the property owner. For a standard and basic service request, this level of…

The technician, Kobe (sp?), was on time & since we had not met before he took time to listen to what we wanted from the service call. Our system is on the older side & he gave us good input about our concerns with the unit. He was knowledgeable & reassuring which we appreciate very much.
