Mario
September 2026
A Chapel Hill apartment's system was completely down, and the line attached to the thermostat was burned. Property management requested an after hours Saturday visit.
Mario found that the thermostat wire was slightly burnt up right above the connections. After explaining to the service manager that a splice repair could not guarantee future operation, since there was no way to verify whether there were other hidden cuts inside the wall, he performed the approved splice repair. Testing then showed that the thermostat itself was also bad, so Mario obtained approval and installed a new thermostat.
Mario tested the operation of the system, and it was running without any further issues.

Yes, Element Service Group provides 24/7 emergency heating repair throughout Apex, Cary, Raleigh, and the Triangle area. When your heat goes out on a cold night, call us anytime. We dispatch technicians around the clock because we understand that a heating emergency can't wait until morning.
For heating emergencies, we prioritize same-day service and often arrive within 1-2 hours. During extreme cold weather, we triage calls to help the most urgent situations first: homes with elderly residents, infants, or no backup heat source get priority. Call us immediately and we'll give you an accurate arrival time.
First, check your thermostat batteries and settings. Then check if the furnace filter is clogged. A dirty filter can cause shutdowns. If you smell gas, leave immediately and call 911. While waiting, use space heaters safely (away from furniture and curtains), close off unused rooms to conserve heat, and open cabinet doors to prevent pipe freezing.
