Dexter, Aaron & Travis
June 2026
A homeowner in Fuquay-Varina noticed their AC was blowing warm air instead of cooling the home.
Dexter, Aaron, and Travis found that the unit had more rust than normal, but it was still functioning properly.
The team conducted a thorough cooling tune-up. They checked the capacitor and contactor, evaluated the system's pressure and amps, and measured the temperature differentials. Despite the rust, the system was verified to be operational.
The AC system continued to function properly after the tune-up, ensuring the home remained cool.
If your AC starts blowing warm air, it might be due to a failing capacitor or contactor. Addressing rust early can prevent further damage and keep your system running efficiently.
Jeorell, Aaron & Dexter
May 2026
A homeowner in Fuquay-Varina noticed their AC was not cooling the house effectively.
Jeorell found that the system needed a thorough maintenance check, including the thermostat, filters, and ductwork.
Jeorell performed a comprehensive cooling system maintenance. He started by inspecting the thermostat and filters inside the home. In the attic, he checked the furnace, ductwork, refrigeration lines, drain lines, wire connections, and blower wheel. Outside, he washed the outdoor coil and inspected refrigerant lines and wire connections. He also checked the compressor and fan amps.
The AC system was cooling properly by the time Jeorell left.
A dirty outdoor coil can reduce your AC's efficiency. Rinsing it with water every few months can help maintain optimal cooling performance.
Travis
April 2026
A homeowner in Fuquay-Varina was concerned about their AC system's performance as the warmer spring days approached.
Travis found that all electrical components and the thermostat control were functioning within specifications.
Travis performed a comprehensive cooling tune-up on the system. He checked the operations of the IFC board and thermostat control, ensured all electrical components were to spec, and inspected the coil to evaporator. He also checked the heat exchanger and both the return and supply ducts. Finally, Travis hosed down the outside condenser and verified the electrical components there.
The system was found to be very clean and operating efficiently, with no issues detected.
Hose down your outside condenser unit at the start of each cooling season to remove dirt and debris. This simple step can improve efficiency and prevent overheating.
Jeorell, Tay & Dexter
April 2026
The homeowner noticed that their AC was not cooling the home effectively.
Jeorell and Tay found that the capacitor needed replacement during the system inspection.
Jeorell and Tay performed a thorough maintenance check on the cooling system. They inspected the thermostat, filters, ductwork, and other components. They washed the outdoor coil and checked the compressor and fan amps. With the homeowner's permission, they replaced the faulty capacitor.
The AC system was cooling properly by the time they left.
If your AC isn't cooling well, a worn-out capacitor might be the cause. Replacing it early can prevent more expensive repairs down the line.
Got a PRV valve, new main shutoff, and new toilet shutoff. Chris is great. Fast and good quality work. Plan on using Element for all future plumbing repairs.

Travis is a great guy. He educated me on maintenance and he was very pleasant and kind and you can tell the man has a big heart. I’m very very happy and very, very glad to have met him and also very glad to not be in a 93° house anymore.

Fantastic experience with Element today! Communication was fantastic from start to finish. We booked an appointment for a HVAC inspection/tune up. Cost was very reasonable and was able to get someone out the same week. Before we even booked the appointment, the expectations were set of what the inspection services would include. The day of the appointment we received a text with a picture of our service technician, Dexter Davis. What really impressed me was not only did we get a picture, but the text included a little bit of his professional background and a bit about him personally. Dexter gave us a call to let us know he was on his way out. Everything about my interaction with him was awesome. After he completed his inspection, he showed me pictures of his findings and took the time to explain what they meant and how it could impact the health of our system. He answered all of my questions- had a wealth of knowledge and was realistic on which items needed to be addressed sooner rather than later. I did not feel pressured to buy anything on the spot. He did explain how I could save on repairs by becoming a member and went over benefits of the plan. We received the quote with pictures shortly after he left. I know this is a long review- but I wanted to make sure that I gave Dexter some shout outs for service, professionalism and knowledge. We will do more business with Element!

Planning a heating system replacement in Apex or Cary, NC? Compare gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pumps to find the best option for your home and budget.
Read articleFuquay-Varina's southern Wake County location experiences some of the hottest temperatures in the Triangle, with HVAC systems working overtime during peak summer months. Systems need to be properly sized and maintained to handle the extended cooling season.
The town's mix of rural properties and suburban developments means HVAC needs range from single-story ranch homes to two-story suburban builds. Each property type requires different system configurations and maintenance approaches.
High summer humidity combined with heat creates challenging conditions for cooling systems. Proper dehumidification is essential for both comfort and preventing moisture-related issues in your home.
Many homes in Fuquay-Varina use well water, which can affect HVAC performance and maintenance needs. Understanding the interaction between your water system and HVAC is crucial for optimal operation.
At 10-16 years old, Fuquay-Varina's builder-grade HVAC systems are entering the period where electrical components, capacitors, and contactors begin failing—issues easily caught and prevented by regular maintenance.
Without maintenance, HVAC systems lose 5% efficiency per year. For Fuquay-Varina's already high $155/month bills, that means unmaintained systems are costing an extra $200-400 annually in wasted energy.
Rapid construction in Fuquay-Varina sometimes resulted in HVAC installation shortcuts. Maintenance visits frequently reveal issues like kinked refrigerant lines, improperly sealed duct connections, and incorrect thermostat wiring.
Even newer Fuquay-Varina homes experience condensate drain problems due to improper drain slope or missing p-traps installed during construction—issues caught during routine maintenance before they cause water damage.
More ways we can help in Fuquay-Varina.
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Fuquay-Varina.
Yes. A dirty, unmaintained system uses 15-25% more energy. For Fuquay-Varina's $155/month average, that's $280-465/year in wasted energy. Professional maintenance that cleans coils, corrects refrigerant charge, and optimizes airflow can recover most of that efficiency loss.
This is when maintenance matters most. Your builder-grade system is entering the age where components start failing. Catching a $15 capacitor before it fails prevents a $300+ emergency service call. Plus, we often find builder installation shortcuts during first-time maintenance visits that have been reducing efficiency since your home was built.
Spring maintenance prepares your system for Fuquay-Varina's hot summers: cleaning outdoor and indoor coils, checking refrigerant levels, flushing condensate drains, testing capacitors and contactors, verifying thermostat cooling operation, and inspecting ductwork. We also check for the builder-quality issues common in this area.
Twice yearly—spring and fall. Spring maintenance optimizes cooling performance for summer, and fall maintenance prepares heating for winter. For Fuquay-Varina homes with builder-grade systems, this schedule catches declining components before they fail during peak demand periods.
