"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."

"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 American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, or ASHRAE, sets the standard guidelines for air changes per hour in homes and businesses. The International Residential Code, or IRC, also sets ACH requirements for residences and bases those requirements off of ASHRAE standards plus climate specifics related to your location.

While it is possible to add Freon to your AC unit yourself, it is not recommended. In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prohibits the handling of Freon without a license. Freon is a dangerous gas that can cause irreversible damage to your AC or yourself if not installed correctly. It is worthwhile to hire a professional to add Freon to your AC.

Most HVAC service calls include diagnostic fees, which could include checking on a specific issue you’re experiencing or running through a routine inspection checklist. If you called for a particular problem, the service call will also include an estimate to fix the issue, including materials and labor. Depending on your HVAC technician and the service you requested, you might also get a general inspection of your system components to ensure everything is working as intended.

While spending money once or twice a year to tuneup your AC and furnace might seem like a waste of money, think again. The cost of HVAC maintenance is far less than the cost of replacing your furnace or AC unit, regardless of the type of HVAC system you have. Paying this smaller fee now will help you avoid paying much more significant costs in the future. Not to mention, having a serviced AC and heating system will help keep your home comfortable, no matter the season. 

Condensation forms when warmer, outside air combines with cooler air in your ductwork. This can happen when there are leaks in your air ducts, your HVAC system has a dirty air filter, or there’s a lack of insulation around the ducts. To prevent it from happening, replace your HVAC filters as directed. Also, once every five years, hire a local air duct cleaner to clean and inspect them.
