Dust and Growth Inside a Two-System Home in Chapel Hill

Chapel Hill · October 2026 · Dexter & Jeorell · From our service records

What we found and did

Growth was found inside the second-floor unit, the blower wheel was heavily coated, and dust from the attic appears to be entering the system and mixing with the indoor air. Dexter and Jeorell completed maintenance on both HVAC systems at this Chapel Hill home and recommended installing a UV Element to help control growth and improve system cleanliness. On the first-floor system, they found powder-like material on and around the evaporator coil that could not be identified, so they cleaned as much as possible, tested gas pressure and cleaned the flame sensor. They also recommended having the evaporator coil and drain pan professionally cleaned to remove the remaining buildup.

Result

Both systems were operating properly at the end of the visit.

FAQ

Fall Heating Tune-up in Chapel Hill: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Chapel Hill.

When should I schedule my fall heating tune-up?

The best time is September or early October, before the first cold snap. This ensures any issues are caught and repaired before you need your heat, and scheduling is easier before the busy season.

How often does my heating system need a tune-up?

Annual tune-ups are recommended for all furnaces and heat pumps. Regular maintenance extends equipment life, maintains warranty coverage, and keeps energy bills in check.

What is included in a heating tune-up?

Our inspection covers burner operation, heat exchanger integrity, safety controls, thermostat calibration, blower motor service, filter replacement, combustion analysis, and carbon monoxide testing. For heat pumps, it also covers refrigerant charge, the reversing valve, and the defrost cycle.

Can a tune-up really save me money on energy bills?

Yes. A clean, well-adjusted system uses less energy than a neglected one, and the tune-up catches small problems before they turn into costly repairs.

Will you let me know if my furnace needs to be replaced?

Absolutely. If we find issues that make repair impractical, like a cracked heat exchanger or a system nearing end-of-life, we will give you an honest assessment with replacement options and pricing.
