Fine service. Ok prices. But payment was annoying. They sent me multiple links that didn’t work. After that, I called to pay and gave them the feedback. A month later, I still got an invoice. I couldn’t reply because it was a no reply email. I had to call again to let them know that I had payed. Overall, I feel…

First time using Empire after the local company I used to call moved to the other side of the city, and I'm very happy with everything. Ezekiel not only fixed my issue, he went over the whole system with me to suggest other ways to improve my situation. My system is old, and is in need of a lot. I knew this already.…

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…

The tech for my AC inspection (Ray) was a nice and knowledgeable guy. He was efficient and kept things neat, and he petted my dog! Good communication with the office regarding when he would arrive.

Empire came out the same afternoon I called them and completed our repair within a couple days. When the technician arrived, he told me that he’d come up with a more affordable fix than previously proposed. Everything worked great and this would be the first company I call in the future for any HVAC needs. Highly…

Charged me for multiple visits and did not fix my problem. Failed to see the obvious defective refrigerant lines. I wasted over 1000$ on useless stuff. I had to turn to another company who quickly spotted the problem and fixed it. Jim Jensen PS I am glad the company reached out about this and helped.Thank you.

I needed a repair to my heating/AC unit. I waited for a few days to get an appointment. Empire sent someone who spent quite a bit of time figuring out the repair needed. The repair quote was around $3000 with another wait for two weeks. I called a different provider who came the same day to evaluate and repair for…
