New heating and air conditioning business opens in Alamosa


John Imre began his HVAC/R career as a US Air Force Missile Maintenance Technician and received professional training at Chanute AFB, IL with further technical training at F.E. Warren AFB, WY. 
In his eight years of active duty service, he has worked on heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment at missile silos, missile launch facilities, missile transporters and portable equipment. After his active duty service, John continued his career as a civilian in Denver and then Alamosa, working in commercial HVAC/R equipment. 

In his 12 years in Alamosa, he widened his experiences in servicing many types of HVAC/R equipment ranging from small residential furnaces and boilers to agricultural warehouse refrigeration for potatoes and large air handling equipment such as in the local colleges and medical facilities, while serving as a US Air Force Reservist and starting his family with his wife Regina.

In 2012, with the help of the SLV Small Business Center (589-3682), John founded Apex Repair Service to provide quality residential service to the people of the San Luis Valley.  He looks forward to helping maintain the commercial equipment that keeps our local economy strong.  He felt that using the free and confidential counseling services of the SBDC helped him through the transition of working for a company to running his own business.
Apex Repair Service offers over 20 years of experience in repair, service, troubleshooting, upgrade and replacement of all residential, commercial and agricultural heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and appliance needs.  John may be contacted at 719-480-3388.
