Wrong Zone Board Settings Causing No Cool
The Problem
A homeowner in Holly Springs was experiencing issues with their heating system not cooling properly.
What We Found
Dexter found that the zone board was configured incorrectly, preventing the system from operating as intended.
The Fix
Dexter reconfigured the zone board to ensure the system was set up correctly. After making the necessary adjustments, he verified that the unit was functioning properly and would continue to perform efficiently through the upcoming summer months.
The Result
The system started working properly, providing reliable heating and cooling.
Pro Tip
After any power outage or thermostat change, check that your zone board didn't reset to default. A misconfigured zone board can send cool air to the wrong floor — you'll think the AC is broken when it's actually a 5-minute settings fix.

Routine Maintenance Uncovers Coil Leak
What We Found
Mario found that the pressures were low during the maintenance check, indicating a potential issue.
The Fix
Mario performed a thorough system maintenance, starting with a visual inspection of the furnace in the attic, checking duct work, refrigeration lines, and more. He cleaned the indoor coil and added cleaning tablets. Outside, he inspected the outdoor unit and cleaned the coil. Upon discovering low pressures, he conducted a leak search and identified a leak at the evaporator coil, which will be repaired once the part arrives.
The Result
The homeowner agreed to move forward with the repair, and the coil has been ordered for a follow-up visit.
Pro Tip
This is exactly why we push seasonal tune-ups — this homeowner had no idea they had a leaking evaporator coil. Without the inspection, the system would have failed mid-summer when every HVAC company in the Triangle has a 3-day wait list.

Broken Inducer Seal Found During Tune-Up
What We Found
Mario discovered that the existing seal on the inducer motor assembly was broken, which could potentially lead to inefficiencies in the heating system.
The Fix
Mario performed a comprehensive system maintenance starting with the thermostat and filter checks inside the home. He then moved to the crawlspace to inspect the furnace, checking ductwork, refrigeration lines, and other key components. After finding the broken seal on the inducer motor assembly, he removed it and installed a new seal using high-temperature silicon. He also cleaned the flame sensor and spark igniter and adjusted the gas pressures to the manufacturer's specifications.
The Result
The heating system was tested and confirmed to be operating properly, ensuring a warm and comfortable home environment.
Pro Tip
A cracked inducer motor seal lets combustion gases leak into your crawlspace instead of venting outside. It's invisible during normal operation — you'd never know until a CO detector goes off or someone gets sick. This is why furnace inspections include pulling the inducer assembly.
Aaron & Mario
February 2026
Uneven Temperatures Between Rooms
What We Found
Mario found that the zoning control board was intermittently failing, and the UV light was not functioning, affecting air quality and system efficiency.
The Fix
Mario recommended replacing the zoning control board to enhance system functionality and replacing two 12-inch damper assemblies and a bypass assembly for better air distribution. He also suggested sealing the ductwork to improve efficiency and adding a Reme HALO air purifier to enhance indoor air quality. Additionally, replacing the condenser contactor was advised to ensure consistent system operation.
The Result
These improvements were set to ensure enhanced comfort, energy savings, and a healthier indoor environment for the homeowner.
Pro Tip
If some rooms are 5-8°F warmer than others, your ductwork is probably the problem — not your AC. Holly Springs homes built in the 2000s boom often have undersized return ducts that starve the system. A zone control upgrade fixes it without replacing equipment.

“Nick did a great job on my plumbing inspection.”

Amy Gray
“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.”

“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.”
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.
