This approach has earned us a perfect 5.0-star rating.

Real experiences from our satisfied clients
What Valparaiso Customers Say
"Apex was very efficient and a great value. When our furnace stopped working, Ed was able to come out that day (a weekend) to assess and give an estimate. He was back within a few short days to install our new furnace! He is professional, flexible, and trustworthy. Would recommend/use again!"
"Ed helped us out when we were in a tight spot and couldn't find any companies to come out for days. He is very knowledgeable in all things HVAC and super helpful and professional. Our AC has been working like brand new since he came and serviced it! Highly recommend."
"Very nice, knowledgeable, and responsive. Helped us with our furnace issue and even pointed out a concern with our water heater that could've led into a bigger problem. Fair pricing. Will absolutely recommend to friends and family. Thank you Ed!"
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to HVAC emergencies?
For true emergencies like complete heating failure in winter or AC breakdown during extreme heat, Ed typically responds within an hour for local calls. We offer genuine 24/7 emergency service, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
What HVAC brands do you service?
We service and repair all major HVAC brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Bryant, York, Amana, American Standard, and many others. It doesn't matter if we installed your system or not - if it's broken, we can fix it.Do you offer financing for HVAC installations?
Yes, we can connect you with financing partners who offer flexible payment options for new furnace and AC installations. This allows you to get the comfort your home needs today and manage payments over time.How do I know if I need repair or replacement?
Ed provides honest assessments without pressure. Generally, if your system is under 10 years old and repair costs are less than half the replacement cost, repair makes sense. For systems over 15 years old with major component failures, replacement is often more cost-effective long-term. We'll explain your options clearly and let you make the best decision for your home and budget.
Why should I choose Apex over other HVAC companies?
The owner-on-every-job guarantee is our biggest differentiator. You're not dealing with a different technician each time. Ed personally handles every service call, bringing over a decade of experience to your home. Combined with our veteran-owned values and no-pressure approach, we deliver a level of personal service and accountability that larger companies simply can't match.
