Services
The Imperial has a network of well-trained general technicians available to handle a variety of miscellaneous services. On the go technicians self-perform both scheduled general maintenance services and on-demand, common repair work for clients.
The Core Competencies of their handymen include:
Words on their good customer service have also spread in the HVACR market. Apparently, great honest service is what makes clients remain faithful to a product the most but quality does not sit far from it. Winter is the worst season to get a broken heater and furnace. It does not just give discomfort to the unit owners but it is also quite a sacrifice for technicians to do in-house services and maintenance. It is quite rare to find companies with dedicated maintenance and repair staff.
