Mario & Dexter
August 2026
The property's service manager reported that an apartment unit was not cooling, and a move-in was scheduled for the next day.
Mario found the unit was not cooling due to a bad capacitor. He installed a property-provided capacitor and tested system operations.
System operations were tested after the repair without any further issues.
Travis
July 2026
A Chapel Hill homeowner in the 27517 area called with a no cool problem and a newborn at home, and needed help with the unit after hours.
The drain line was clogged, and the SS two switch cut power to the thermostat. Travis removed all water from the secondary drain line, the primary drain line, and the pan. He also installed a P-trap for the heat pump, since it did not have an existing P-trap, and installed a T vent.
When the system came back on, the outdoor unit, indoor unit, and fan were running and the thermostat was back up, with 76° return air and 65° supply air (an 11° split), so the system was back to normal.
Aaron
June 2026
A Chapel Hill homeowner called after hours with no AC. The downstairs AC was not cooling, the thermostat was set to 74, and the house was at 84.
Aaron found a blown capacitor. He replaced the capacitor during the visit. The customer also signed up for a membership.
Chapel Hill's mix of historic homes and modern construction requires flexible HVAC solutions, from updating old systems to maintaining high-efficiency new installations.
The town's elevation changes and wooded areas create microclimates that affect home cooling needs differently across neighborhoods.
High humidity levels during summer months require proper dehumidification and regular maintenance to prevent mold and maintain indoor air quality.
Chapel Hill's focus on sustainability makes energy-efficient HVAC upgrades and smart thermostats especially valuable for homeowners.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Chapel Hill.
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.
