Holly Springs · November 2026 · Dexter, Jeorell & Mario · From our service records
The inverter control board in the condensing unit needed replacement. Dexter, Jeorell, and Mario returned to a Holly Springs home in the 27540 area to install the control board and test operation. The plan called for a new OEM part and for the system to be cycled on after installation.
Holly Springs · September 2026 · Travis · From our service records
A Holly Springs homeowner reported that the 1st-floor HVAC unit was not cooling properly, and the circuit board was showing a red light.
Travis troubleshot and tested the 1st-floor system and identified a failed capacitor as the cause of the cooling issue. He replaced the defective capacitor, then restarted and tested the system. The replacement capacitor is covered by a 1-year warranty, and Travis also went over how a preventative maintenance membership includes checking electrical components like capacitors, contactors, wiring, and connections to catch failing parts early.
After the restart and testing, the unit was operating properly and cooling as expected, with no further issues observed at the time of service.
Holly Springs · June 2026 · Bernard · From our service records
The homeowner reported that the thermostat was set to 72°F, but the indoor temperature would not drop below 80°F.
Bernard and Jaquan found the evaporator coil frozen in the attic air handler, which pointed to an airflow-related issue. They thawed the coil and reevaluated system operation. Refrigerant pressures were within normal operating range and the air filter had been recently replaced, so the indoor blower motor is suspected to be failing intermittently, reducing airflow and causing the coil to freeze. The findings were reviewed with the homeowner, and a quote will be provided for blower motor replacement, along with a quote for a REME HALO air purification system on the second-floor HVAC system due to asthma concerns.
Holly Springs · June 2026 · Dexter & Jeorell · From our service records
The homeowner reported that the thermostat was blank and the unit was showing code 71.
The drain pipe was clogged, and the call was handled as a warranty call on a system installed July 11. Dexter and Jeorell vacuumed the line out and then flushed the system.
The unit started back running.
Holly Springs · May 2026 · Dexter, Tay, Aaron & Mario · From our service records
A Holly Springs homeowner reported that the AC was not cooling.
Superheat was slightly higher than normal, and the unit was still cooling with a 16 degree delta t. The technicians advised a leak search and replacement of the leaking part. The customer decided to just recharge the system that day.
Holly Springs · May 2026 · Dexter · From our service records
A homeowner in Holly Springs noticed their air conditioning system was blowing warm air instead of providing the cool relief they expected.
Dexter found that the AC system was low on refrigerant, which was causing it to blow warm air. Dexter recharged the system with the appropriate amount of refrigerant, ensuring it was filled to the optimal level for efficient operation.
The AC system was restored to full functionality, providing cool air throughout the home once again.
If your AC starts blowing warm air, it might be low on refrigerant. Early signs include longer cooling cycles and higher energy bills. Addressing it promptly can prevent more costly repairs.
Holly Springs · May 2026 · Travis · From our service records
A Holly Springs homeowner reported the downstairs unit was not cooling properly and was not responding to the thermostat.
Travis found the capacitor had completely failed, which kept the compressor from running. He changed out the capacitor, which was covered by AHS. He also noted the unit was a little low on charge, but the main issue was the bad capacitor causing the compressor never to run.
After the capacitor was changed out, the unit was back to running at normal operations.
Holly Springs · May 2026 · Jeorell, Dexter & Mario · From our service records
The homeowner reported that the AC stopped working. The thermostat was calling for cooling but the indoor unit was not operating.
Jeorell found that a portion of the low voltage wire at the door switch had burnt and lost connection, which kept the indoor unit from running properly. He repaired the damaged wiring and secured the connections at the door switch, then cycled the system multiple times to verify proper operation. He also discussed replacing the door switch for a permanent fix, and an estimate was to be attached.
The system was cooling at the time of departure.
Holly Springs · May 2026 · Aaron & Mario · From our service records
A Holly Springs homeowner reported that the outside AC unit was making a loud, unusual rattling noise that was clearly audible from the nursery. With warmer weather arriving, they couldn't leave the AC running at night because the sharp noise was waking the baby.
Aaron and Mario determined that the noise heard in the baby's room sounded like refrigerant passing through the lineset. They recommended rerunning the lineset to address the sound. They also recommended installing a soft start on the condenser to reduce the sound of the equipment during startup.
Holly Springs · April 2026 · Aaron & Dexter · From our service records
A Holly Springs homeowner reported that their 6-7 year old main unit was blowing air but not blowing cold air, and the outside fan was not working.
Aaron and Dexter found that the low pressure switch was leaking. They determined it can be repaired, but the homeowner needed to be quoted for refrigerant. The homeowner chose to look into getting refrigerant by another means and then have the team come back to do the repair.

Read articleHolly Springs is one of NC's fastest-growing towns, and many homes still run the original builder-installed HVAC equipment. These systems are often minimally sized to pass code, not to handle 95°F afternoons with 80% humidity, leading to premature wear and comfort complaints within 5-7 years.
Unlike tree-canopied towns like Cary or Chapel Hill, much of Holly Springs was developed on open farmland. Homes with west and south-facing exposure absorb significantly more solar heat, pushing cooling loads 15-20% higher than shaded properties.
Holly Springs' proximity to Bass Lake and surrounding pine forests produces heavy pollen seasons and elevated outdoor humidity. Without proper filtration and dehumidification, these conditions lead to poor indoor air quality and mold growth in ductwork.
Southern Wake County's heavy clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, which can shift outdoor condenser unit pads over time. Unlevel units strain compressors and reduce efficiency, an issue unique to this part of the Triangle.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Holly Springs.
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 AC service is available 24/7, and emergency repairs are prioritized and dispatched as quickly as possible.
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.
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.
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.
