Mario
July 2026
The property manager for an apartment in Garner reported HVAC issues, with the main problem described as a contactor that couldn't release and a volt issue.
Mario found the heat pump's contactor engaged despite no active call for cooling, and the capacitor was faulty with a reading of zero. He replaced both the capacitor and the contactor to restore the proper electrical components. Continuing the diagnostic at the air handler, he discovered that the 24V signal for the Y terminal was not reaching the heat pump due to a wiring fault, and he corrected the wiring.
After Mario thoroughly tested communication between the thermostat, air handler, and condenser, the unit was cooling properly and functioning according to manufacturer specifications.

Yes, heat pumps work excellently in North Carolina's mild winters. Modern heat pumps operate efficiently down to 25-30°F, which covers most Triangle winter days. For the occasional cold snap, heat pumps include auxiliary heating. Many Apex and Cary homeowners use heat pumps as their primary heating and cooling system year-round.
A furnace burns fuel (gas or oil) to generate heat, while a heat pump transfers heat from outside air into your home using electricity. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one system, are more energy-efficient in mild climates, and have lower operating costs. Furnaces heat faster in extreme cold but cost more to run.
Heat pump installation in the Apex area typically ranges from $4,500 to $12,000, depending on system size, efficiency rating (SEER/HSPF), and installation complexity. While the upfront cost is higher than a furnace alone, a heat pump replaces both your furnace and AC. Many homeowners see 30-50% savings on heating costs.
