Cooling System Check in Clayton
The Problem
A homeowner in Clayton was experiencing issues with their upstairs cooling unit, which stopped working effectively.
What We Found
Jeorell found that the thermostat was set to 66°F and the system was almost satisfied. The line set was cold and sweating, indicating the system was operational.
The Fix
Jeorell checked the pressures outside, which appeared normal, and allowed the system to run for about 20 minutes without any issues. He measured a 22° temperature split, confirming the system was functioning properly. Jeorell discussed the potential need for system replacement with the homeowner, as the unit was older and used R-22 refrigerant.
The Result
The cooling system was working properly at the time of departure.
Pro Tip
Consider scheduling regular maintenance for older HVAC systems to ensure they continue to operate efficiently and to discuss replacement options before a breakdown occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair in Clayton
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Clayton
How quickly can you get to my home for an AC repair?
For standard AC repairs in the Apex, Cary, Raleigh, and surrounding areas, we typically offer same-day or next-day service. During peak summer months (June-August), demand is highest, so we recommend calling early in the day. Emergency repairs are prioritized and dispatched as quickly as possible.
How much does an AC repair cost?
Repair costs depend on the specific problem and parts needed. A capacitor replacement might run $150-$300, while a compressor replacement can range from $1,500-$2,500+. We charge a diagnostic fee to identify the problem, then provide a flat-rate repair quote before proceeding. The diagnostic fee is waived if you approve the repair.
Is it worth repairing my older AC system?
As a general guideline, if a repair costs more than 50% of a new system and your equipment is over 10 years old, replacement often makes more financial sense. We'll give you an honest assessment factoring in your system's age, repair history, efficiency, and the cost of the specific repair needed.
Why did my AC stop working on the hottest day?
This is extremely common. Peak heat days push your system to maximum capacity for extended periods. Components like capacitors, compressors, and fan motors that are already weakened by wear are most likely to fail under this extreme stress — similar to how a worn tire is most likely to blow out on a long highway drive.
