We've used Empire for bi-annual system checks, in April 2023 for cleaning our condensing coil ($235!) and replacing a capacitor (more on that later) for our blower, and a service call today (8/23/23). A tech came out, assessed the system, and told me the blower motor+capacitor would need to be replaced for anywhere…

I have been using Empire for years for both home and business HVAC services. I can’t say enough positive things about them - they are highly skilled, attentive, responsive, and friendly professionals. It’s genuinely a pleasure to work with them and I can’t say that I have been as lucky in other areas (e.g.…

Called in Tuesday, got an appointment for Thursday and the tech was on time and attentive to the problems. He did a thorough inspection of the unit and didn't stop once he solved the problem; he also checked other potential problems to make sure it wasn't simply a Freon refill that was needed. Also have me very…

Almost consistent great service. Appreciate having their annual maintenance contract with 2 annual visits to make sure all is working well and to change filters, if needed. Have recommended them to others. One of two units was installed by them and they have helped prolong the useful life of the other unit.

We called and made an appointment when our heat stopped working. They were ver friendly on the phone and slotted us into the soonest appointment available. The company was responsive and communicative and our technician diagnosed a blown fuse and had us up and running within 10 minutes! Super easy process throughout!

Empire installed our new hvac system in July and were incredibly responsive during the whole install. When our heat suddenly went out during December, they had someone out on the same day to diagnose the problem and heat was repaired the next day.

Nov. 2021 - I’m still a customer of empire! I like their seasonal maintenance packages because 1. They remind me and remind me until I schedule it. 2. They seem to always have good times available for techs to come. 3. Friendly and courteous technicians and office staff. 4. Reasonable prices. 2018 - Tenacious techs…

David, the Empire tech who came to the house to check out our HVAC system, did a great job. He figured out what was wrong with the system and ordered a new motor for us. His help was invaluable!

At this point we have been using Empire for over 7 years across two different houses. We had them completely redo the HVAC in our old house which took the house from downright unlivable in July to quite lovely with zone AC. As we were selling our old house, the AC of course acts up and they were able to come out the…

I arrived home Saturday at 1:00pm to discover our A/C was not functioning (in 90 degree heat). An Empire representative responded within 10 minutes of leaving a voice message and said a service rep would arrive by 5pm. The technician arrived at 2:30. He was very professional and efficient. He had us back up &…

I used Empire to diagnose my failed air conditioning system. We were 2 days from the hottest day of the year so far and I was able to call and schedule a visit from their technician on the second day after my call. I had tried a couple of other hvac repair companies and was getting first available days a week or…

I have been using this company for over a decade. They installed my HVAC system back in 2011 and it still runs great. Empire does all the maintenance and repairs. Lastly, if Chris still working there, he was the best salesperson and was very honest and gave a competitive pricing for installation.
