A Fayetteville homeowner noticed their air conditioning system stopped cooling during a scorching 100° day.
Jaquan discovered that the flow switches were malfunctioning, preventing the system from operating efficiently. Jaquan and his team conducted a thorough inspection of the flow switches across the entire community, including the affected unit. They replaced the faulty switches, ensuring the system could regulate the flow of refrigerant properly.
The air conditioning system was restored to full functionality, providing relief from the heat.
If your AC stops cooling during a heatwave, it might be a flow switch issue. These components can fail under high demand, so consider having them checked before peak summer hits.

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.
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.
