Excellent Customer Service: That is the Halco difference.

At Halco, we have a deep understanding of the nature of our business and the needs of our customers. We are committed to providing the best possible customer care.
We know that when our customers have heating or air conditioning problem, their comfort is jeopardized, and they need help right away.

When you call Halco, you will never speak to a machine. Our offices are open until 9:00 pm every day of the week. And if you happen to need our services after our extended regular hours, we also offer 24-hour emergency service.

In a typical HVAC company, if you call after hours, the call center will have to locate an available on-call service technician: a process that can significantly delay help.
Halco technicians are never on-call. They work their regular hours, within a multiple shift schedule that allows us to provide service for extended hours and take care of your emergency service call.

When it comes to heating, cooling, plumbing and renewable energy services in the Finger Lakes, NY region, no one does it better than Halco. We offer expertise, reliability and world-class customer service, and we’ve been serving Syracuse, Rochester and surroundings since 1984. Call us today!

Halco – Locally Owned and Operated

When choosing a home service provider, ownership of the company really matters. Private equity firms are buying up local Finger Lakes companies, prioritizing non local profits and not people. That can mean vague warranties, corner cutting, broken promises, and disappointing customer care. Halco Home Solutions is and always has been locally owned and operated right here in the Finger Lakes.

What does it mean to be fully insured?

Halco owner, Hal Smith, discusses the term “fully insured,’ and why it should be one of your top considerations when choosing a contractor to work with.

What is a carbon offset?

Carbon offsets allow people to “cancel out” the carbon emissions associated with their lifestyles. The energy we use in our homes, the fuel we burn in our cars, and the pollution that comes from the airplanes we travel in all generate greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. By purchasing carbon offsets through the Finger Lakes Climate Fund you are investing money in local energy efficiency projects and helping to reduce carbon emissions.

And remember, you can get on the path of reducing your emissions by making energy improvements in your home, but meanwhile you can offset the rest!

What’s New for 2021

2021 is upon us, which means we’ve been in business for 37 years! We have lots of exciting news for the new year – so tune in to find out what’s new for 2021 at Halco! Thank you for your business this past year and we look forward to serving you again soon!

Part 4 of 4: NYSERDA Programs, Incentives & Financing

Part 4 of 4. Last but not least, Hal Smith discusses another new program called Comfort Home. This program is for market-rate customers who are above 120% of the state median income and helps to improve insulation, air sealing, and windows in the home! Give us a call to learn more and schedule your no-cost energy assessment!

Who is eligible for a Climate Fund Grant? How do you apply?

 

Many households qualify for the extra funding support from the Finger Lakes Climate Fund. If you earn less than 80% of county median income for your household size, you can receive substantial incentives for energy improvements to your home. Give Halco a call and we will help you through finding financing and incentives for your home improvement project every step of the way.
