Travis
September 2026
A Cary homeowner called after hours with no AC: the upstairs unit was blowing air but not cold, and the outside compressor was not running.
Travis found that the drain pan was full and clogged, and that the wiring connected to the condenser wasn't allowing voltage to pass. He removed all the water from the pan and fixed the 90 fitting outside.
The unit was back up and running before Travis left.
Bernard
March 2026
A Cary property contact reported a voltage short on the AC and no cool, and needed help ASAP, agreeing to after hours service.
Bernard found that some of the pressure switch wires at the rooftop condenser had been touching copper, which kept tripping the low voltage fuse at the air handler. He first checked all low voltage wiring connections at the air handler, added a few wire nuts where needed, and replaced the fuse, but it tripped again after the system ran for about five minutes, so he replaced it once more and left power off to the air handler. On the roof, he removed the top of the condenser, confirmed the pressure switch wires were touching copper, taped up the pressure switch wiring, and re-assembled the condenser.
Back at the air handler, Bernard tested system operations and the system came on and began cooling with no further issues.
Cary's suburban growth and tree canopy create unique airflow challenges, requiring properly sized HVAC systems to efficiently cool multi-story homes.
The area's humid subtropical climate with 90°F+ summer temperatures demands high-efficiency AC systems to manage energy costs and maintain comfort.
Many Cary neighborhoods built in the 1990s-2000s have aging HVAC systems nearing replacement age, making preventive maintenance critical.
Local HOA regulations in Cary's planned communities often require specific equipment placement and noise level compliance for outdoor AC units.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Cary.
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.
