Why Is My Gas Pack AC Not Cooling in Holly Springs?
The Problem
The homeowner noticed that their gas pack AC system was not cooling effectively.
What We Found
Jeorell found that the system was low on refrigerant, specifically R-22, which was affecting its cooling performance.
The Fix
Jeorell performed a thorough maintenance check on the gas pack cooling system, inspecting duct work, refrigeration lines, drain lines, wire connections, and the blower wheel. He checked the voltage, blower amps, pressures, and blower capacitor. Although the system was cooling properly at the time, he advised the homeowner that additional R-22 would be needed to optimize performance.
The Result
The system was functioning properly after maintenance, but a follow-up visit was scheduled to add R-22.
Pro Tip
If your gas pack AC isn't cooling well, it might be low on refrigerant. Consider scheduling regular maintenance to catch issues early and keep your system running efficiently.

Why Isn't My AC Cooling the 2nd Floor in Holly Springs?
The Problem
A homeowner in Holly Springs noticed that the second floor of their home wasn't cooling properly, despite the AC running.
What We Found
Aaron discovered that the indoor coil lacked supporting blocks, and there was no secondary float switch installed.
The Fix
Mario and Travis performed a thorough cooling tune-up on the second-floor system. They cleaned the coils, measured refrigerant pressures, and recorded amp draws. They noted the absence of a clean-out T in the drain lines and recommended future installation for better maintenance access.
The Result
After the tune-up, the AC system efficiently cooled the second floor, improving overall comfort in the home.
Pro Tip
If your AC isn't cooling a specific area, check for blockages or missing components like supporting blocks. These small issues can significantly impact performance.

Stephena Williams
“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.”
Verified Google ReviewWhy Quality HVAC Maintenance Matters in Holly Springs
Builder-Grade System Strain
Holly 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.
Open-Terrain Sun Exposure
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.
Bass Lake & Wooded Allergen Load
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.
Clay Soil Foundation Shift
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.
Common HVAC Maintenance Issues in Holly Springs
Accelerated Filter Clogging From Construction Dust
With active residential and commercial construction throughout Holly Springs, airborne particulate matter clogs HVAC filters 30-50% faster than in established towns. Homes near new developments in Windfall and along NC-55 are especially affected.
Condenser Pad Settling on Clay Soil
Holly Springs' heavy red clay soil shifts and settles over time, causing outdoor condenser units to tilt. This strains refrigerant lines, compressor mounts, and drainage, leading to premature equipment failure if not corrected.
Pollen and Allergen Buildup in Newer Communities
Holly Springs' proximity to pine forests and Bass Lake creates heavy seasonal pollen loads. Homes in Sunset Lake and Twelve Oaks near wooded buffers accumulate allergens in ductwork and on evaporator coils faster than average.
Deferred Maintenance on Builder-Grade Systems
Many Holly Springs homeowners assume newer homes do not need HVAC maintenance. By the time systems are 5-7 years old without service, refrigerant levels have dropped, coils are dirty, and efficiency has declined noticeably.

Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC Maintenance in Holly Springs
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Holly Springs
How often should Holly Springs homeowners get HVAC maintenance?
Twice a year—AC tune-up in March or early April, heating maintenance in late September. Holly Springs' open terrain and southern Wake County location mean both cooling and heating seasons start earlier and last longer than in northern Triangle towns. Homes near active construction zones should also change filters monthly instead of quarterly.
What does an HVAC tune-up include for Holly Springs homes?
Our Holly Springs tune-ups include refrigerant level check, coil cleaning, condenser pad leveling inspection (critical on clay soil), electrical connection tightening, thermostat calibration, filter replacement, and ductwork inspection. We also check for the construction dust buildup that is so common in this area.
Why is my HVAC filter dirty after only two weeks?
If you live near active construction in Holly Springs—along NC-55, near Holly Springs Towne Center, or in newer phases of Windfall and Sunset Lake—airborne construction dust clogs filters much faster than normal. We recommend upgrading to a MERV 11 or higher filter and checking it every 2-3 weeks during active nearby construction.
Does regular maintenance really save money in Holly Springs?
Yes. With average energy bills of $152/month on Duke Energy Progress, a well-maintained system runs 15-25% more efficiently than a neglected one. That translates to $200-$450 in annual savings for a typical Holly Springs home. Maintenance also extends system life by 3-5 years, delaying a $6,000-$15,000 replacement.
