Can you handle both small repairs and large projects?
Absolutely. Vortex Companies can handle everything from routine handyman tasks and minor electrical work to large-scale landscaping installations, hardscaping projects, and complete HVAC system replacements.
How do I know if my HVAC system needs maintenance or repair?
If you notice uneven temperatures, weak airflow, unusual noises, or rising energy bills, it’s time for a professional inspection. Routine maintenance prevents costly breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently year-round.
How often should I service my HVAC system?
Commercial HVAC systems should be serviced at least twice a year — once before the cooling season and once before heating season. Preventive maintenance ensures efficiency, extends equipment life, and helps avoid expensive repairs.
When should I replace my HVAC system instead of repairing it?
If your system is over 10–15 years old, breaks down frequently, or no longer heats/cools efficiently, replacement might be the smarter investment. We install high-efficiency systems that can lower utility costs and improve indoor comfort.
