Leaking Refrigerant and Rusted Unit in Knightdale

The Problem

The homeowner was concerned about the performance of their aging HVAC system and was considering an upgrade.

What We Found

Aaron found that the indoor coil was leaking refrigerant, the heat strips were broken, and the indoor unit was severely rusted.

The Fix

Aaron conducted a thorough evaluation of the entire HVAC system. He identified the critical issues and prepared a detailed replacement quote for the homeowner, considering their interest in upgrading through AHS.

The Result

The homeowner received a comprehensive assessment and a clear path forward for upgrading their HVAC system.

Pro Tip

A rusted unit often leads to leaks and inefficiency. If you notice flaking paint or corrosion, it’s time to call for an assessment—delaying action can worsen the damage and inflate replacement costs.

FAQ

AC Installation in Knightdale: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Knightdale.

How long does an AC installation take?

Most residential AC installations are completed in a single day, typically 6-10 hours. If significant ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or a complete system changeout (indoor and outdoor units) is required, the project may extend to two days.

What SEER rating should I choose for my new AC?

For the Raleigh-Durham area, we generally recommend 16 SEER2 or higher. The hot, humid Triangle summers mean your AC runs extensively, so higher-efficiency systems pay for themselves faster here than in milder climates. We'll show you a cost-benefit comparison for different efficiency levels.

Do I need to replace my furnace when I replace my AC?

Not always, but it's often recommended. Your indoor coil and blower are part of the heating system, and mismatched components reduce efficiency and can void warranties. We'll evaluate your existing equipment and give you honest advice on what actually needs replacing.

What brands do you install?

We install and service all major brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and Amana. We'll recommend the best option based on your budget, efficiency goals, and the specific needs of your home rather than pushing any single brand.
