Ortega Heating & Air answers the phone, shows up on time, and fixes the unit in front of you. Honest diagnosis, real repairs, no runaround.
When the heat pump quits in July or the furnace goes quiet in January, you don't need a call center — you need a technician. Ortega Heating & Air is a local HVAC contractor serving Chattanooga, TN and the surrounding ridges and hollows. We answer the call, diagnose the real problem, and quote the fix before we touch a wrench.
Heat pumps work overtime in the Tennessee Valley — cooling all summer, heating through damp winter mornings. When one freezes, short-cycles, or blows lukewarm, our techs trace the refrigerant charge, defrost board, and reversing valve before recommending a single part. Most heat pump calls are diagnosed and repaired the same visit, with the unit running before we pack up.
Call for Heat Pump RepairA dead A/C on a 95° ridge-top afternoon is an emergency, not an inconvenience. We troubleshoot capacitors, contactors, coil freezes, and low refrigerant across every common residential brand. You'll get a clear written quote for the repair, an honest read on whether a fix still makes sense, and cold air back in the house the we arrive.
Call for A/C RepairScheduled maintenance ahead of the heating and cooling seasons keeps a system efficient and keeps intact. Our tune-up covers coil cleaning, refrigerant level check, electrical tightening, thermostat calibration, and a full airflow pass. Book yours before the June crunch or the first cold snap of November — your future self will thank you.
Schedule a Tune-UpCleaning for dusty, restricted, and long-neglected duct runs. If your registers puff dust when the blower kicks on, or allergies spike every time the system runs, the ductwork is overdue. We brush and vacuum the supply and return trunks, clean the boot seals, and verify airflow at every vent — no upsell, no scare tactics, just cleaner air.
