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

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.

Microclimates

The town's elevation changes and wooded areas create microclimates that affect home cooling needs differently across neighborhoods.

Indoor Air Quality

High humidity levels during summer months require proper dehumidification and regular maintenance to prevent mold and maintain indoor air quality.

Energy Efficiency Focus

Chapel Hill's focus on sustainability makes energy-efficient HVAC upgrades and smart thermostats especially valuable for homeowners.

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 20-point inspection covers burner operation, heat exchanger integrity, safety controls, thermostat calibration, blower motor service, filter replacement, combustion analysis, and carbon monoxide testing.

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

Yes. A well-maintained furnace runs 10 to 15 percent more efficiently than a neglected one. The tune-up typically pays for itself in energy savings within the first few months of winter.

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.
