Heat Pump Repair in Hillsborough
The Problem
A Hillsborough homeowner reported that their one-year-old unit was not cooling.
What We Found
Mario found that the heat pump was not coming on due to the defrost board not sending voltage through the low pressure switch.
The Fix
Mario conducted diagnostics by initiating a call for cool at the thermostat and checked the operations of the air handler. He continued diagnostics on the left side of the building where the heat pump is located. After 15 minutes, the defrost board began passing voltage, allowing the system to operate and cool. Mario recommended replacing the defrost board, which would need to be ordered separately.
The Result
The system was operating and cooling by the end of the visit.
Pro Tip
A non-responsive heat pump can often indicate a faulty defrost board. If you notice the unit not cooling despite normal settings, run diagnostics quickly; catching it early can save you from expensive repairs later.

Heat Pump Wiring Fix in Hillsborough
The Problem
A Hillsborough homeowner was experiencing issues with their heating system, suspecting a short circuit.
What We Found
Mario found that the wires were crossed and the 24v wire from the transformer was incorrectly connected directly to the fan speed tap.
The Fix
Mario corrected the wiring configuration and tested all operations of the heating unit to ensure it was functioning properly. He confirmed that the system was operating without any issues after the adjustments.
The Result
The heating system was restored to full functionality, providing reliable warmth to the home.
Pro Tip
If the heating system isn't working and you hear a humming sound, it could indicate crossed wires. Turn off the power immediately to avoid further damage and call a technician to inspect the wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Pump Services in Hillsborough
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Hillsborough
Do heat pumps work in North Carolina winters?
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.
What's the difference between a heat pump and a furnace?
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.
How much does heat pump installation cost?
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.
