"Showed up, tested, diagnosed, filled the system with coolant, pointed out general maintenance issues that had not been addressed like dirty/clogged filters etc. Took credit card for payment. Excellent service! Even managed to send the tech out the day after we reached out to them."

"I was impressed with the quality of the work performed by ð ¼-1 ð ¿ð ªð ð © ð ¾ð ¡ð ð ð £ð ð £ð ð ð ð §ð «ð ð ð ð ¨ in both cleaning the HVAC and dryer ducts. As a former Army Contracting Officer's Representative, what impressed me most was the work ethic displayed by Kieth. He worked until the job was done, even staying until after 1:00 AM to make sure the work was finished correctly. I would not hesitate to hire him again."

"Tomas and his crew did a full double replacement of two zone HVAC system. Everything was well explained before and during the entire installation. They showed up right on time, were courteous and pleasant to speak with and finished the entire replacement and professional startup in just 1 day. I highly recommend contracting Vortex air for your hvac needs. You will get efficient professional service at a price that beats the large contractors in the central Virginia area."

"This was the best service I have ever received from a HVAC company. The guy worked on my furnace for over an hour until he fixed it. It ended up costing for the service call only due parts not being added to the furnace. He was very personable and did a great service for me. I will always use this company for my needs in the future."

"I have had Brian from Casper replace 2 heat pumps total with one at my home and one at a rental property over the past 4 yrs and both have lowered my monthly bills significantly. When renters reported a problem with the heating this winter, Brian responded and fixed the problem immediately at minimal cost. I am happy and my renters are happy with Brians promptness, expertise and courtesy."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

The higher the BTU rating an air conditioner has, the more effective it can be at cooling your space. It will cool off your room faster in the short term. However, over the long term, if the unit has too many BTUs for the space, it can wear down the unit faster and shorten its life span.

During the summer, it’s best to set your AC to 78 degrees when you’re home and awake, according to the Department of Energy (DOE). For better energy efficiency, raise the temperature slightly to 85 degrees while you’re out of the house. The National Sleep Foundation advises lowering your thermostat to between 60 and 67 degrees when you’re asleep.

A blocked return air vent can cause your HVAC system to work much harder and, therefore, less efficiently. The result is higher utility bills and poorer air quality. A blocked return air vent can also cause unpleasant dust, dander, and odors to linger in your home’s air.

Aside from needing HVAC repair, there are times when you may need to replace your unit. HVAC replacement costs $5,000 to $12,500. Here are some telltale signs that your HVAC unit is going bad:

  • Your unit is 10 years or older.

  • Your home is very humid.

  • The unit keeps cycling without producing cool air.

  • You need to repair the unit frequently.

Replacing an HVAC system does not always include new ductwork. The decision depends on the condition of your existing ducts. If they are in good shape, correctly sized for the new unit, and meet current standards, they can often be reused. However, if the ducts are damaged, poorly designed, or improperly sized, they will likely need to be replaced or upgraded to ensure the new system operates efficiently. An HVAC contractor will assess your ductwork and recommend the best course of action. Typically, ductwork is purchased separately, and a full replacement will add to the overall project cost.
