5-Ton Heat Pump Blowing Warm Air in Cary
The Problem
A tenant at Cary Green Apartments reported that the air conditioning was not cooling effectively.
What We Found
Mario found that the heat pump system was low on refrigerant due to a leak at the filter drier.
The Fix
Mario performed diagnostics on the heat pump and identified the refrigerant leak. However, he was unable to access the air handler for a full inspection due to a locked mechanical closet. He coordinated with property management for future access to complete the diagnostics.
The Result
Further diagnostics are pending until property management provides access to the mechanical closet.
Pro Tip
If your AC is blowing warm air, a refrigerant leak might be the cause. Addressing leaks early can prevent more extensive damage and costly repairs.

Why Is My Heat Pump Not Cooling in Cary?
The Problem
The homeowner noticed their heat pump was not cooling effectively.
What We Found
Travis found that the reversing valve was functioning correctly and the refrigerant pressures were normal.
The Fix
Travis conducted a thorough inspection of the Bryant system, including a minor leak search at the condensing unit, but found no issues. He advised the homeowner to monitor the system and suggested checking the refrigerant levels again in a week to ensure there were no leaks.
The Result

Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Pump Services in Cary
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Cary
Do heat pumps work in North Carolina winters?
Yes, heat pumps work excellently in North Carolina's mild winters. Modern heat pumps operate efficiently down to 25-30°F, which covers most Triangle winter days. For the occasional cold snap, heat pumps include auxiliary heating. Many Apex and Cary homeowners use heat pumps as their primary heating and cooling system year-round.
What's the difference between a heat pump and a furnace?
A furnace burns fuel (gas or oil) to generate heat, while a heat pump transfers heat from outside air into your home using electricity. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one system, are more energy-efficient in mild climates, and have lower operating costs. Furnaces heat faster in extreme cold but cost more to run.
How much does heat pump installation cost?
Heat pump installation in the Apex area typically ranges from $4,500 to $12,000, depending on system size, efficiency rating (SEER/HSPF), and installation complexity. While the upfront cost is higher than a furnace alone, a heat pump replaces both your furnace and AC. Many homeowners see 30-50% savings on heating costs.
