What Customers Have to Say about Cortez
From my very first interaction with Cortez Heating & Air, I was impressed with their responsiveness, communication, and professionalism. They made scheduling easy and had a technician on-site first thing the following morning.
The technician arrived bright and early, looking professional in uniform, and clearly knew what he was doing. When I returned to the site, he took the time to walk me through his findings and explain the issue. The service report was also excellent, providing a detailed recap of the visit and the work performed while I was away.
It’s refreshing to work with a company that values communication, takes pride in its work, and delivers such a high level of service. Cortez made a great first impression, and I look forward to working with their team on future HVAC replacements and preventive maintenance.
I would absolutely recommend Cortez Heating & Air to anyone looking for a reliable, professional HVAC service partner.
Commercial HVAC Questions We Hear Often
How often should a commercial HVAC system be serviced?
Most commercial systems need inspection and tune-up at least twice a year, once before cooling season and once before heating season. Facilities with heavy use, such as manufacturing plants or hospitals, often require quarterly service to keep warranties valid and avoid unplanned downtime.
What's the difference between repairing and replacing an aging rooftop unit?
Repair makes sense when a unit is under 10 years old, and the fix addresses an isolated problem. Once repair costs start approaching 30 to 50 percent of replacement cost, or a unit is nearing the end of its expected life, replacement usually saves more money over the following years through efficiency gains alone.
Do you work on buildings that are still occupied?
Yes. We schedule installation and major repair work around a facility’s operating hours whenever possible, including nights and weekends for hospitals, hotels, and retail spaces that can’t shut down.
How fast can you respond to an emergency HVAC failure?
We offer 24/7 emergency response for commercial accounts across southwest Florida. Response time depends on location and system type, and our team prioritizes calls where a shutdown affects patient care, guest comfort, or a production line.
Do you service equipment you didn't originally install?
Yes. We maintain, repair, and upgrade HVAC systems regardless of who installed them, including systems from other contractors and equipment left behind by a previous building owner.
