Jeorell
July 2026
The homeowner noticed that their air conditioning system was not cooling effectively.
Jeorell found that the system had some growth in the coil, which could impact efficiency over time.
Jeorell performed a comprehensive maintenance check on the cooling system, starting with the thermostat and filters inside the home. In the crawl space, he inspected the ductwork, refrigeration lines, and blower wheel. He then moved outside to clean the outdoor coil and checked the compressor, fan amps, and capacitor. Jeorell also discussed the potential benefits of a Reme Halo to address the coil growth.
The system was cooling properly at the time of departure.
If you notice any growth on your AC coil, consider a Reme Halo to improve air quality and system efficiency. It's a proactive step that can prevent bigger issues down the line.

April 2026
The homeowner noticed that their gas pack AC system was not cooling effectively.
Jeorell found that the system was low on refrigerant, specifically R-22, which was affecting its cooling performance.
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 system was functioning properly after maintenance, but a follow-up visit was scheduled to add R-22.
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.
Aaron, Mario & Travis
April 2026
A homeowner in Holly Springs noticed that the second floor of their home wasn't cooling properly, despite the AC running.
Aaron discovered that the indoor coil lacked supporting blocks, and there was no secondary float switch installed.
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.
After the tune-up, the AC system efficiently cooled the second floor, improving overall comfort in the home.
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.
Mario
April 2026
The homeowner noticed that their AC wasn't cooling the home effectively.
Mario found that the system needed maintenance, including cleaning and checking various components like the thermostat, filters, and ductwork.
Mario performed a thorough maintenance check on the cooling system. He inspected the thermostat, filters, and gas pack, and conducted a visual inspection of the ductwork, refrigeration lines, and blower wheel. He cleaned the indoor and outdoor coils, checked the voltage, blower amps, and capacitors, and added cleaning tablets to ensure optimal performance.
The AC system was cooling efficiently after the maintenance.
Dirty coils can reduce your AC's efficiency. Clean them at least once a year to maintain optimal cooling performance and prevent higher energy bills.
Got a PRV valve, new main shutoff, and new toilet shutoff. Chris is great. Fast and good quality work. Plan on using Element for all future plumbing repairs.

Travis is a great guy. He educated me on maintenance and he was very pleasant and kind and you can tell the man has a big heart. I’m very very happy and very, very glad to have met him and also very glad to not be in a 93° house anymore.

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!

Planning a heating system replacement in Apex or Cary, NC? Compare gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pumps to find the best option for your home and budget.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
More ways we can help in Holly Springs.
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Holly Springs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
