Quick Thermostat Fix in Hillsborough Restores Comfort
The Problem
A Hillsborough homeowner was experiencing issues with their HVAC system not reversing properly, leading to discomfort in their home.
What We Found
Travis discovered that the problem was not with the reversing valve as initially suspected, but rather with the thermostat.
The Fix
Travis checked the solenoid and pressures with the valve open and closed, confirming they were functioning correctly. Upon inspecting the thermostat, he found a bent pin on the back. He carefully bent the pin back into place, which allowed the unit to start working again.
The Result
The HVAC system was restored to full functionality, ensuring the homeowner's comfort.
Pro Tip
A bent pin on the thermostat can cause control issues that mimic bigger problems. If your system struggles to reverse, check the thermostat connections first—bending a pin back can save you from unnecessary repairs.

HVAC Maintenance reviews in Hillsborough
Claire Kauserud
“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!”

Common HVAC Maintenance Issues in Hillsborough
Pollen and Leaf Debris from Tree-Lined Streets
Hillsborough's tree-lined historic streets and wooded subdivisions generate heavy seasonal debris loads that foul condenser coils and clog air filters more quickly than suburban settings.
Aging Ductwork in Older Subdivisions
Forest Ridge and Beckett's Ridge homes with 20+ year old ductwork may have deteriorating seals, insulation, and connections that leak conditioned air into crawl spaces and attics.
Historic Home System Inspections
HVAC systems in Hillsborough historic homes often have unique configurations that need technicians experienced with mini-splits, high-velocity systems, and older equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC Maintenance in Hillsborough
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Hillsborough
How often should Hillsborough homeowners schedule HVAC maintenance?
Twice yearly: spring for cooling and fall for heating. Hillsborough's heavy tree cover means condenser coils may need additional cleaning during peak pollen season in March-April. Homes in wooded areas of Forest Ridge may need quarterly filter changes.
What does an HVAC maintenance visit include in Hillsborough?
Our Hillsborough maintenance visits include thorough condenser coil cleaning, refrigerant check, electrical inspection, drain line clearing, filter replacement, and system performance evaluation. For historic homes, we also inspect specialized equipment like mini-split wall units.
Can you maintain ductless mini-split systems in Hillsborough historic homes?
Yes, we service all ductless mini-split brands. Mini-split maintenance includes cleaning wall unit filters and coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting condensate drains, and verifying electrical connections. Annual maintenance keeps these systems running efficiently for 20+ years.
How much does HVAC maintenance cost in Hillsborough?
Our maintenance plans start at $189/year for two seasonal tune-ups with priority scheduling and repair discounts. This is a fraction of the cost of emergency repairs that preventive maintenance avoids.
