How Halco Works vs. Typical Contractors

The Halco Way

The Typical Contractor

Locally owned

Serving the Finger Lakes for over 40 years, we’ll never be private equity owned, and we’re here for the long run.

Corporate or investor-owned

Increasingly bought out by outside money, with a focus that’s not on the community.

Proven experience

50,000+ homes served and 14,000+ reviews, including complex and older home projects.

Varying levels of experience

Few contractors have the experience needed to solve unique problems of homes in the Finger Lakes.

“Yes, we do that!”

Heating, cooling, insulation, electrical, plumbing, and solar, all handled by one in-house team.

“Maybe someone (else) can do that for us/you…”

Using subcontractors means more opportunities for delays and subpar work.

Long-term solutions

Our work addresses the root cause of your problems and creates lasting home health and comfort.

Band-aid fixes, sales-first approach

Pushes expensive upgrades and services without addressing the underlying issues.

Unbiased solutions

Because we do it all, you can trust that our recommendations are what your home truly needs.

One solution focus

If they don’t sell it, they won’t recommend it, even if it’s most likely to solve your problem.

Full-house systems that work together

Heat pumps, electrical, solar, all designed and installed by one company to get you the best whole-home solutions.

Disconnected solutions

Installs equipment and provides services without considering how the home performs as a whole.

24/7 service, real humans

Live (and local) support and emergency service when you need it, with no runaround or robot dead-ends.

Limited availability

After-hours service and support may be harder to access.
