Jeorell
September 2026
An Apex homeowner reported a rattling noise from the attic, even though the system was still blowing cold air. The blower was making a noise.
Jeorell found that the bearings on the blower were going bad and would need to be replaced for proper operation. He could hear the blower noise from the 2nd floor before even going into the attic, then inspected the blower and found some build up from over time, though nothing was blocking it from spinning. He talked with the homeowner about a blower wheel cleaning to be done along with the motor replacement and provided estimates for both.

An Apex homeowner in the 27502 area had approved an estimate to replace the blower motor in their cooling system. Jeorell picked up the new blower motor from a local Lennox parts supplier, then removed the old blower motor and installed the new one. After the installation, he tested the system's operation.
The system was cooling at the time of departure.
Jeorell & Dexter
September 2026
An Apex homeowner reported that the AC was not working well and was currently frozen. She said that when the system was on, the blower was making a noise.
Jeorell found that the blower module was not working properly and was causing the blower not to run properly. He documented the blower noise on video and determined that the blower motor will have to be replaced for proper operation. The diagnostic was not charged that day and will be added to the quote for the replacement.
Dexter
September 2026
An Apex homeowner in the 27502 area reported that the upstairs unit was not cooling as much as it should.
Dexter found that the capacitor was dead. When he turned the system on, he noticed the fan was blowing, but the condenser was humming, which led him to check the capacitor. He replaced the capacitor to get the condenser running again.
After the new capacitor was installed, the system started working.

Your AC is running nonstop but your house won't cool down. Before you panic, here are 5 North Carolina-specific reasons this happens, and what to do about each one.
Read articleApex's hot, humid summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F put extra strain on AC systems, requiring more frequent maintenance to handle constant use and moisture.
The Triangle's seasonal temperature swings mean HVAC systems must efficiently handle both heating in winter and cooling in summer, with proper tune-ups before each season.
High humidity levels in Apex cause condensation issues and can lead to mold growth in ductwork if systems aren't properly maintained and sized.
Local building codes and HOA requirements in Apex neighborhoods require specific permits for HVAC installations and replacements to ensure compliance.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Apex.
For standard AC repairs in the Apex, Cary, Raleigh, and surrounding areas, we typically offer same-day or next-day service. During peak summer months (June-August), demand is highest, so we recommend calling early in the day. Emergency repairs are prioritized and dispatched as quickly as possible.
Repair costs depend on the specific problem and parts needed. A capacitor replacement might run $150-$300, while a compressor replacement can range from $1,500-$2,500+. We charge a diagnostic fee to identify the problem, then provide a flat-rate repair quote before proceeding. The diagnostic fee is waived if you approve the repair.
As a general guideline, if a repair costs more than 50% of a new system and your equipment is over 10 years old, replacement often makes more financial sense. We'll give you an honest assessment factoring in your system's age, repair history, efficiency, and the cost of the specific repair needed.
This is extremely common. Peak heat days push your system to maximum capacity for extended periods. Components like capacitors, compressors, and fan motors that are already weakened by wear are most likely to fail under this extreme stress, similar to how a worn tire is most likely to blow out on a long highway drive.
