Helping building owners get more from their systems.
We look at controls as the heart of the building. Every piece of mechanical equipment (your chillers, air handlers, boilers, VAVs) depends on the controls system to run it properly. Without an effective, efficient controls system, you’re essentially operating without a heartbeat.
Vertex was founded by a controls engineer who spent years in the field seeing this firsthand. Buildings full of expensive equipment that never performed to its potential because the controls were an afterthought. We built this company to fix that.
Today Vertex operates out of Covington, Louisiana with on-site service statewide and controls installation nationwide. We also provide remote Niagara N4 programming and BAS support to clients across the U.S.
Controls-first, mechanically fluent
Every technician understands both the DDC logic and the mechanical equipment it governs. That means faster root-cause diagnosis, fewer callbacks, and problems caught before they cascade into expensive failures.
Software DNA
We come from a software engineering background. That mindset carries through to how we architect BAS systems, write sequences of operation, and build custom tools for the controls industry.
Single-source accountability
We handle controls engineering, Niagara N4 programming, installation, commissioning, and ongoing service under one contract. One point of contact. No finger-pointing between trades.
Technology-forward
We stay current with Niagara releases, security patches, and emerging protocols. We build custom software tools for the building automation industry. We invest in technology because our clients benefit from it.
We integrate every major BAS platform.
No vendor lock-in. We work with the equipment you already have, or spec the best fit for your new project.
Louisiana
Statewide on-site service. Controls installation, mechanical service, commissioning, and 24/7 emergency response. Headquartered in Covington on the Northshore.
Installation & Commissioning
We travel for new construction, system upgrades, and controls commissioning anywhere in the U.S. Full controls crews deployed to your job site.
Programming & Support
Niagara N4 programming, graphics development, troubleshooting, and ongoing BAS support via secure VPN. No travel cost, same business day response.
What drives every project we take on.
Do it right the first time
We don’t cut corners on commissioning. Every sensor gets calibrated. Every sequence gets tested. Every point gets verified.
Understand the whole system
A controls issue can look like a mechanical failure. Our technicians are trained to diagnose both sides, because the building doesn’t care which trade is responsible.
Stay after the install
We offer service contracts because we believe the relationship starts at commissioning, not ends there.
Build better tools
We invest in software development for the controls industry, not just for our clients, but for the trade.
Be direct
We’ll tell you if your 20-year-old pneumatic system needs replacement instead of another band-aid. Honest assessments build long-term relationships.
Keep learning
Building technology moves fast. We stay current through continuous education, Tridium certification, and hands-on R&D.
