Mario
September 2026
A tenant at a home in the 27703 area of Durham reported that the unit was still blowing cold air even though they wanted heating.
Mario found the attic furnace out on a four-flash fault code indicating an open high limit, and no voltage was being sent out from the control board. After he inspected the board for a bit, it started outputting voltage again, which points to an intermittent voltage concern with the IFC board. Mario tested the operation of the unit and checked furnace temperatures and zoning operations. Because the supply house was closed for the weekend, the office will send an estimate for the replacement board on Monday morning.
The unit ran without any further issues during testing, furnace temperatures were not approaching the 210°F high limit threshold, and all zoning operations were working properly.

Yes, Element Service Group provides 24/7 emergency heating repair throughout Apex, Cary, Raleigh, and the Triangle area. When your heat goes out on a cold night, call us anytime. We dispatch technicians around the clock because we understand that a heating emergency can't wait until morning.
For heating emergencies, we prioritize same-day service and often arrive within 1-2 hours. During extreme cold weather, we triage calls to help the most urgent situations first: homes with elderly residents, infants, or no backup heat source get priority. Call us immediately and we'll give you an accurate arrival time.
First, check your thermostat batteries and settings. Then check if the furnace filter is clogged. A dirty filter can cause shutdowns. If you smell gas, leave immediately and call 911. While waiting, use space heaters safely (away from furniture and curtains), close off unused rooms to conserve heat, and open cabinet doors to prevent pipe freezing.
