Jeorell
July 2026
The homeowner noticed that their AC system was not cooling properly, and it was freezing up despite attempts to recharge it.
Jeorell discovered that there was a restriction in the system causing the pressures to drop on the low side, indicating a potential blockage.
Jeorell attempted to recharge the system, but the issue persisted. Due to time constraints, the technician could not source parts immediately. An estimate for further repairs was prepared, and a return visit was scheduled to perform a full leak search and address the restriction.
The system required additional work to resolve the restriction and ensure proper cooling.
If your AC system freezes up, turn it off and let it defrost before attempting any repairs. Running it while frozen can cause further damage and complicate repairs.
Manny
July 2026
A Franklinton homeowner discovered that their pantry AC unit was completely frozen, causing it to stop cooling effectively.
Manny found that the pantry unit was frozen solid from the evaporator to the compressor, making it impossible to assess the charge or detect any leaks during the initial visit.
Manny topped off the basement unit with 2 lbs. 8 oz. of R-22 refrigerant. He scheduled a return visit to defrost the pantry unit, check the refrigerant charge, and perform a full leak search to determine if there is a small or large leak.
The homeowner was advised on the necessary steps to prepare the unit for the follow-up visit, ensuring a thorough assessment can be completed.
If your AC unit freezes up, turn it off immediately to allow it to defrost. Running a frozen unit can cause further damage and complicate repairs.
Great service! Called in the afternoon after my AC stopped working. Friendly and very competent service person, Mario, fixed it the very next morning. He also installed a surge protector. I'm extremely satisfied!

Home air conditioner broke down on a Saturday night with party scheduled for Sunday afternoon, temperatures in high 90s. Asked for "emergency" service, Element was on site within two hours, problem was fixed, all cool for the party!

Read articleFranklinton's downtown bungalows and Cape Cods from the 1920s-1970s often have retrofitted AC systems with inadequate ductwork, causing poor airflow and uneven cooling throughout the home.
Newer Franklinton subdivisions like Sterling Pointe were built with basic single-stage AC systems that may be undersized for North Carolina's increasingly hot and humid summers.
Franklinton's low-lying terrain and proximity to creeks and farmland creates elevated humidity levels that overwhelm standard AC systems, leaving homes feeling damp even when the temperature is comfortable.
About 20% of Franklinton housing is manufactured, with packaged AC units that often lack the capacity and efficiency to keep homes comfortable during peak summer heat.
More ways we can help in Franklinton.
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Franklinton.
AC systems in Franklinton typically last 12-15 years in our climate zone 4A. Downtown homes with older retrofitted systems may need replacement sooner due to the extra strain of cooling poorly insulated structures. We recommend a professional evaluation once your system reaches 10 years.
For Franklinton's climate, we recommend a minimum 16 SEER2 system. Homes in Sterling Pointe and newer areas can maximize savings with 18-20 SEER2 units. Older homes may see the biggest percentage savings from any modern system compared to their aging equipment.
Duke Energy Progress offers efficiency rebates for qualifying high-SEER AC installations, and federal tax credits cover Energy Star certified systems. Combined, Franklinton homeowners can save $500-$2,000 on a new system. We handle all rebate paperwork.
Yes, we specialize in both packaged unit replacements and split-system installations for Franklinton manufactured homes. Modern high-efficiency units can dramatically improve cooling performance and reduce energy costs compared to older manufactured home AC systems.
