Rust on Two Furnaces Found During a Cary Tune-Up

Cary · November 2026 · Dexter & Jeorell · From our service records

What we found and did

Dexter and Jeorell found a partially clogged heat exchanger on the first-floor system that requires replacement, and visible rust spots on the heat exchanger of the second-floor system. They inspected and cleaned all components on both systems and checked flame sensors, hoses, capacitors, blower motors, heat exchangers, and gas pressure. They inspected the rusted areas on the second-floor system but could not identify any cracks at this time. Both systems showed an abnormal amount of rust and deterioration for their age, and the crew noted excessive humidity in the crawl space may be contributing, so they recommended having the crawl space evaluated and sealed to keep out outside air and excess moisture.

Why Was My Basement Furnace Shut Off in Cary?

Cary · October 2026 · Dexter · From our service records

What we found and did

Dexter found a rust spot and holes in the heat exchanger of the basement furnace, which has a possibility of carbon monoxide leaking in the home. He had checked the blower motor and for gas leaks, and checked the inducer motor for proper operation, before turning the system off and advising the homeowner about the harm of running a system with cracks in the heat exchanger. On the attic furnace, Dexter checked the blower motor and all components and found rust spots on the heat exchanger but no proven cracks.

Result

The attic furnace heated up and ran properly, while the basement furnace was turned off because it would still operate but not at a safe standard.

Heat Pump Annual Checkup Turned Up a Weak Part in Cary

Cary · October 2026 · Autumn, Nick, Bernard, Jeorell & Dexter · From our service records

Heat Pump Annual Checkup Turned Up a Weak Part in Cary

What we found and did

Autumn found the dual run capacitor operating out of manufacture specifications and brought it to the homeowner's attention. The visit was preventative maintenance on one heat pump and air handler system: Autumn verified thermostat operation, checked air filter condition, and inspected the exterior heat pump unit, ductwork, refrigerant lines, condensate drain lines, electrical connections, and blower wheel. System voltage and blower motor amperage were checked, and defrost and heat kit operation were tested. The customer chose to replace the dual run capacitor while on site, and surge protection and a UV light were also recommended.

Result

After the system was cycled and tested following maintenance, it was heating properly and operating as expected.

Why quality heating tune-up matters in Cary

Airflow Challenges

Cary's suburban growth and tree canopy create unique airflow challenges, requiring properly sized HVAC systems to efficiently cool multi-story homes.

Humid Subtropical Climate

The area's humid subtropical climate with 90°F+ summer temperatures demands high-efficiency AC systems to manage energy costs and maintain comfort.

Aging Systems

Many Cary neighborhoods built in the 1990s-2000s have aging HVAC systems nearing replacement age, making preventive maintenance critical.

HOA Requirements

Local HOA regulations in Cary's planned communities often require specific equipment placement and noise level compliance for outdoor AC units.

FAQ

Heating Tune-up in Cary: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Cary.

What's included in a heating tune-up?

Our heating tune-up includes a 20+ point inspection: cleaning the burners and heat exchanger, checking gas connections for leaks, testing the ignition system, inspecting the flue and venting, lubricating moving parts, checking electrical connections, calibrating the thermostat, replacing the air filter, and testing safety controls. We also measure system efficiency and airflow.

How often should I service my furnace?

Your furnace should be professionally serviced once a year, ideally in fall before the heating season. Annual maintenance helps your equipment last, keeps it running efficiently, and catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. Some manufacturers also require regular maintenance to keep a warranty valid.

Is it too late to schedule a fall tune-up?

It's never too late to service your heating system. While fall is ideal, a winter tune-up still provides benefits: improved efficiency, safer operation, and catching issues before they cause a breakdown on the coldest day. We have availability throughout the season and can often schedule within a few days.
