What 40 Years In Business Has Taught Halco About Customer Service

As Halco celebrates its 40th anniversary, we wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on our journey and growth as a company. Beginning as a residential plumbing and heating service and installation contractor, we've expanded significantly over the past four decades. From a small startup to a leading name in the home services industry in the Finger Lakes area, the Halco story is one of dedication and constant evolution. 

Expanding Services for Comprehensive Energy Solutions

In our quest to meet all of the home comfort and energy needs of our neighbors, family, and friends in Rochester, Ithaca, Syracuse, and the rest of the Finger Lakes, we quickly realized the need to broaden our horizons. It wasn't just about providing plumbing, heating, and cooling solutions; it was about embracing a holistic approach to home energy needs. 

This realization led us to expand our services to incorporate insulation, air sealing, electrical, solar, and geothermal solutions. Our goal was clear - to address the comprehensive energy needs of homes, minimizing energy loss while installing and maintaining energy-efficient equipment. This expansion not only allowed us to offer a wider range of services but also positioned us as a one-stop solution for all home energy efficiency needs.

Deepening Local Ties and Technological Expertise

Experience, they say, is the best teacher. At Halco, this rings especially true. Our four decades of service have not just been about growing our business, but also about deepening our understanding of customer service. Being ingrained in the local community has given us an intimate knowledge of the unique climate challenges faced in the Finger Lakes region. This local expertise, combined with our continuous adoption of the latest technologies and techniques, ensures that we keep homes comfortable and energy efficient. Our longstanding presence has helped us build trust and rapport with our clients, making us a preferred choice in the community.

Planning for an Energy-Efficient and Comfortable Future

We have had a front-row seat to see how technology and building science have advanced home comfort and energy use. Looking ahead, we recognize that planning for an energy-efficient future is not just a trend, but a necessity. In the climatically challenging Finger Lakes region, achieving this balance requires a comprehensive approach. We focus on enhancing home energy efficiency through multiple avenues. This includes upgrading insulation and air sealing to minimize energy loss, replacing outdated heating and cooling systems with more efficient, and sometimes all-electric, alternatives, and integrating sustainable energy sources like geothermal and solar power. Such measures not only reduce dependency on the traditional power grid but also significantly lower the carbon footprint of homes.
