Travis
September 2026
An Apex homeowner in the 27502 area reported that the unit was not working.
Travis found the system one pound low on Freon. He added the correct charge to bring the system back to its proper refrigerant level.
Apex'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.

Common signs include: warm air from vents, system running constantly without reaching set temperature, ice on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil, and higher than normal electricity bills. If you notice these symptoms during NC summer, call for a diagnosis promptly.
Unlike fuel, refrigerant doesn't get consumed. It circulates in a sealed system. Low refrigerant always means there's a leak somewhere. Simply adding more without fixing the leak is a temporary fix that wastes money and harms the environment.
R-22 production has been banned since 2020, making remaining supplies increasingly expensive ($75-$150+ per pound). Your options include repairing and recharging (short-term), converting to an R-410A-compatible system, or replacing with a new high-efficiency unit. We help you evaluate the most cost-effective path.
Costs depend on refrigerant type and amount needed. R-410A recharges typically run $200-$500. R-22 recharges can cost $500-$1,500+ due to scarce supply. We always provide a complete diagnosis and quote before performing any work.
