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.

Chris

Today we had the pleasure of meeting Chris with Element Service. An old hand-crank pump that has been in our yard for 62 years ruptured when someone actually tried to crank the pump to see if it worked. Our backyard was flooded and we were beside ourselves when we learned our home maintenance plan wouldn't cover the repair. But then we remembered that the Element HVAC team had been out to service our unit and had told us they also had a plumbing division. We called this morning and they made a way out of no way to get someone here today. At 2:38PM we got the call from Chris and he was on the way! He was GREAT! Not only did he cap the line--having to bust through concrete to do so--he also kept us laughing! We were so upset when he got here, but were laughing and having a good ole time when he was done. He was determined not to leave until he fixed the problem and got our water back on. As the cliché goes, that was service with a smile! Thanks so much Chris, and thanks to the HVAC team for letting us know they also provided plumbing service. And I would be remiss if I did not mention the cost! We were floored as we were expecting an astronomical bill--especially having to get through concrete! Needless to say we were greatly surprised!!! Thanks again, Chris! Cameron has a good one!!!

I’d like to extend a big thank you to Nick and the new plumbing department at Element Service Group. They’ve consistently done an excellent job maintaining my HVAC system, so when I learned they had started a plumbing department, I expected the same level of professionalism—and they delivered. They provided a courtesy plumbing inspection and thoroughly checked my entire home. I’m happy to say everything received a big check mark. The only recommendations were simple maintenance items to help keep everything in great condition and give me peace of mind about my plumbing. I highly recommend their team. I’ve lived in this home for 40 years and have had many different tradesmen work here, but today I realized I’ve finally found the right company.

Mario

I contracted this repair through my home warranty company AHS. A different company they initially had sent me to was going to charge me $2000 in out of pocket costs. Mario came from Element and re-diagnosed the problem and turns out I didn't need the part the other company wanted to replace. All in all Mario ended up saving me $1500. And on top of that, he was able to add 1 year of maintenance checkup within the amount I was paying. I will be going with Element from now on.

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.
