Second-Floor Heat Pump Not Cooling in Cary

What the customer reported

A Cary homeowner in the 27511 area reported a cooling issue with the second-floor heat pump. The main problem was listed as heat pump not working.

What we found and did

Mario confirmed the outdoor unit failed to start due to a bad capacitor after calling for cool at the thermostat and inspecting system operations. He replaced the capacitor, and the homeowner chose to replace only that part because the equipment dates back to 2005. When testing operations, Mario observed the unit was slightly low on R-22 refrigerant, and he advised the homeowner to plan for future unit replacement since major repairs are not recommended on aging equipment.

Cary · July 2026 · Mario · From our service records

Result

Heat Pump Low on Refrigerant at a Cary Apartment

Cary · June 2026 · Mario, Dexter & Aaron · From our service records

What the customer reported

A reported cooling issue at a Cary apartment prompted a service call.

What we found and did

The heat pump was low on refrigerant, and a refrigerant leak was identified at the filter drier. Mario arrived and found the leasing office closed, then spoke with the tenant at the apartment, but the mechanical closet containing the air handler was locked. He performed diagnostics on the heat pump on the front side of the building. A full leak search at the air handler could not be done without access to the closet, so further diagnostics will require coordination with property management to get it opened.

AC Tripping and Not Cooling on a June Day in Cary

Cary · June 2026 · Mario · From our service records

What the customer reported

A Cary homeowner reported that the unit was not working and tripping. The unit had been turned off the day before, and the service manager thought the problem was electrical-related and might not be refrigerant-related.

What we found and did

Mario found a low voltage short within the heat pump, and noted that several components had already been replaced before the visit. He inspected the low voltage wiring and corrected the short circuit. He then put the unit through a comprehensive operational test to check that all systems were functioning properly.

Result

The unit operated as intended during testing, no further issues were observed, and cooling was restored.

Third Floor Not Cooling, Only Warm Air in Cary

Cary · June 2026 · Mario & Aaron · From our service records

What the customer reported

A Cary homeowner reported cooling issues on the third floor, with the fan coming on but the air not cool, just blowing warm air.

What we found and did

Mario found the system was 2.5 pounds low on R-410A refrigerant. He confirmed a call for cooling at the thermostat, then inspected the air handler in the attic and the heat pump on the right side of the home. Mario and Aaron added the necessary refrigerant and applied leak seal, and both services were fully covered under the homeowner's AHS plan.

Result

The unit was cooling properly at the end of the visit.

Is My Heat Pump Losing Refrigerant After a Recharge in Cary?

Cary · May 2026 · Travis, Tay, Dexter & Aaron · From our service records

What the customer reported

The homeowner reported a bad reversing valve and asked whether it could be fixed or needed to be replaced. The Bryant system had been having trouble when put to cool.

What we found and did

Travis looked over the reversing valve and found it working, with no issues seen at this time. He did a minor leak search at the condensing unit and didn't find anything there, then checked the pressures again and they looked normal. The on-site contact mentioned about 2 pounds of 410 had been put in the last week, so Travis advised keeping an eye on it and hooking up gauges in about a week or so to see if it is still losing refrigerant, then talking about replacements from there.

Result

The unit was running as it is designed to at the end of the visit, with pressures looking normal.

Why Is My Apartment's Heat Pump Not Working Properly?

GOODMAN heat pump · Cary · April 2026 · Chris, Belarmino, Ryan & Kyle · From our service records

What the customer reported

A homeowner in Cary noticed that their apartment's heating system was not functioning as expected, leaving the living space uncomfortably cold.

What we found and did

Chris and Belarmino determined that the existing heat pump and air handler were outdated and inefficient, unable to adequately heat the multi-family unit. Chris, Belarmino, Ryan, and Kyle collaborated to install a new 2.0 Heat Pump and Air Handler in the closet to serve the apartment. They ensured the system was properly connected and calibrated for optimal performance.

Result

The new heating system effectively restored warmth to the apartment, providing reliable and efficient heating.

Pro tip

If your heat pump is struggling to keep up, listen for a constant clicking noise. It often indicates a malfunctioning thermostat or relay. Address it quickly to avoid unnecessary wear and prevent larger, costlier repairs down the line.

FAQ

Heat Pump Services in Cary: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Cary.

Do heat pumps work in North Carolina winters?

Yes. Heat pumps work well in North Carolina's mild winters. Modern heat pumps keep heating through most Triangle winter days, and cold-climate models keep going well below freezing. For the occasional hard 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 and are very efficient in mild climates. Furnaces deliver hotter air in extreme cold, and how operating costs compare depends on your electric and gas rates.

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 (SEER2/HSPF2), and installation complexity. While the upfront cost is higher than a furnace alone, a heat pump replaces both your furnace and AC.
