Jeorell
August 2026
A Creedmoor homeowner reported that the upstairs unit was not cooling down and was running continuously, and requested an after-hours visit.
Jeorell confirmed the thermostat was making a call for cool, then went outside and found the fan running but the compressor was not. He checked the capacitor and discovered it had failed. With the homeowner's permission, Jeorell replaced the capacitor and tested operations.
The system was cooling at the time of departure.
Manny
July 2026
A Creedmoor homeowner reported the unit was still running and blowing air, but it was not cooling as much, and it was really warm at the home.
Manny found a failed single run capacitor and the compressor was down. He installed a dual run capacitor, wiring the compressor to HERM and leaving FAN open for the ECM motor. He also checked system pressures at 130.8 Psig (22°F SH) and 341.4 Psig (7.4°F SC).
The system had a 19°F temperature drop (80 degrees at return and 61 at supply) and was cooling normally under high load.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Creedmoor.
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.
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.
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.
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.
