Dexter
July 2026
A homeowner in Carrboro discovered their HVAC system's drain pan was full of water, raising concerns about potential overflow.
Dexter found that the drain pan was indeed full of water, but the safety switches were functioning properly.
Dexter carefully leaned the drain pan to remove the excess water and verified that the safety switches were operating correctly to prevent future overflow. He also conducted a thorough check of the air handler to ensure there were no additional issues.
The system was stabilized, preventing any potential flooding, and the homeowner was reassured of its safe operation.
If you notice your drain pan filling up, it's a sign that the drainage system might be clogged. Address it promptly to avoid water damage — a simple check can save you from costly repairs.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Carrboro.
We consider it an emergency when you have no cooling at all, when temperatures pose a health risk (especially for elderly family members, young children, or pets), when you notice burning smells or electrical issues from your AC, or when water is actively flooding from your system. If you're unsure, call us — we'll help you determine the urgency.
Emergency calls include a service/dispatch fee plus the flat-rate cost of whatever repair is needed. We provide the repair quote before beginning work so there are no surprises. The total depends on the specific failure — it could be as simple as a $200 capacitor replacement or as involved as a compressor repair.
Turn off the AC system at the thermostat to prevent further damage (especially if you hear unusual sounds or smell burning). Close blinds and curtains on sun-facing windows, use fans to circulate air, and stay hydrated. If water is leaking, place towels or containers to minimize damage and turn off the system immediately.
We charge a standard emergency dispatch fee that applies regardless of when you call. We don't inflate repair prices based on the time of day or day of the week. The repair cost is the same whether it's Tuesday at 2 PM or Saturday at 10 PM.
