Heating in Coats Town Center: What You Need to Know
When your heat goes out in the Triangle, you don't have days to figure it out. Nighttime temps drop into the 20s and 30s from December through February, and a house without heat gets cold fast — especially the newer construction in Apex and Cary where builders didn't always prioritize insulation. Element Service Group offers a $49 heating diagnostic with 60-minute response times across Apex, Cary, Raleigh, Durham, Holly Springs, and Fuquay-Varina. Veteran-owned, 700+ five-star reviews, and licensed to work on every heating system type you'll find in Wake County.
What Heating Services Cover
Most Triangle homes run either a gas furnace, an electric heat pump, or a dual-fuel system that switches between the two. We work on all of them. Furnace repair and installation covers gas and electric units — everything from ignitor failures and cracked heat exchangers to full system replacements when your 20-year-old unit finally calls it quits.
Heat pump services are a big part of what we do. Heat pumps are common here because Triangle winters are mild enough for them to work efficiently most of the year, but they need a backup source for those stretches when it drops below freezing. If your heat pump is blowing lukewarm air on a cold night, we can usually diagnose and fix it same-day.
Boiler services, radiant floor heating, radiant heating systems, and space heater work round out the category. These are less common in newer Triangle homes but show up in older Raleigh and Durham neighborhoods. We also handle emergency heating repair — because a furnace doesn't care that it's 11 PM on a Sunday.
Seasonal tune-ups matter here more than most people think. A fall heating tune-up catches the problems that sat dormant all summer. Carbon monoxide leaks, failing blower motors, clogged burners — these are things you want found in October, not January.
Triangle-Specific Heating Challenges
The housing boom in Apex, Holly Springs, and western Cary means a lot of homes hit the 15-to-20-year mark on their original furnaces right around now. That's the age where repair costs start climbing and efficiency drops. A system that was AFUE 80% when it was installed is costing you real money compared to a modern 96% unit, especially with Duke Energy and Dominion rates going up.
Dual-fuel systems are especially popular in the Triangle because the climate swings between mild and genuinely cold. When those systems aren't set up correctly — or the switchover point is wrong — you end up paying gas prices to heat your home when the heat pump should be handling it, or vice versa. A $49 diagnostic catches that.
What to Expect
Call Element Service Group and a tech is dispatched within the hour to anywhere in the Triangle. The diagnostic covers your full system — not just the symptom you called about. You get a clear explanation of the problem, your options, and pricing before any work starts. No surprises, no upsells. The diagnostic fee applies to any repair you approve. That's how 700+ families have left us five-star reviews — by getting straight answers and fair pricing when their heat went out.

Common Heating Problems in Coats
Old Heat Pumps Relying on Auxiliary Heat
Heat pumps in Coats homes are 15-30+ years old, losing efficiency each year and triggering expensive auxiliary electric heat strips more frequently during cold weather.
Heating Challenges in Manufactured Homes
Coats' manufactured homes with thin insulation and older heating systems are expensive and difficult to keep warm, with some residents relying on supplemental space heaters.
Propane Heating Cost Volatility
Rural Coats properties without natural gas depend on propane, facing unpredictable fuel costs that can significantly increase winter heating expenses.
Air Leaks in Older Construction
Drafty windows, doors, and foundation gaps in older Coats homes allow cold air infiltration that makes heating systems work overtime to maintain comfortable temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heating in Coats Town Center
What heating system works best for Coats homes?
For most Coats homes, a modern heat pump provides efficient heating and cooling from one system. Variable-speed models minimize expensive auxiliary heat usage. Rural properties with propane can benefit from switching to an electric heat pump to eliminate volatile fuel costs.
How can I lower heating costs in my Coats home?
The biggest impact comes from upgrading an aging heat pump, sealing ductwork, and improving insulation. A smart thermostat configured for heat pump operation also prevents unnecessary auxiliary heat. Together, these improvements can cut heating costs by 35-50%.
Do you service manufactured home heating in Coats?
Yes. We service all heating system types in Coats' manufactured homes. Proper sizing, insulation improvements, and regular maintenance are key to affordable heating in mobile homes.
Can a heat pump replace propane heating in rural Coats?
