What We Found
Mario discovered that the defrost board was intermittently failing to pass power to the contactor.
The Fix
Mario conducted a thorough inspection of the air handler and condenser. After identifying the faulty defrost board, he replaced it with a new board provided by the apartment complex. He then tested the system to ensure it was functioning properly.

Aaron and Dexter discussed the situation with the maintenance man and decided to replace the indoor coil to resolve the issue. The coil was ordered, and the team was scheduled to perform the installation.
The Result
The replacement of the indoor coil restored the AC's cooling efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair in Garner
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Garner
How quickly can you get to my home for an AC repair?
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.
How much does an AC repair cost?
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.
Is it worth repairing my older AC system?
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.
Why did my AC stop working on the hottest day?
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.
