Cooling Failed on a 100° Day in Knightdale
The Problem
The homeowner noticed that the outdoor unit was not level, which was affecting the cooling efficiency.
What We Found
Jeorell and Travis found that the unit we installed had become unlevel, impacting its performance.
The Fix
Jeorell and Travis leveled the unit by adding rocks to the base and installing vibration pads. They ensured the system was level on all four sides before leaving.

Pro Tip
If your outdoor unit becomes unlevel, it can affect performance and efficiency. Regularly check the unit's level and use a carpenter's level to ensure all sides are even.

Why Is My AC Not Cooling Upstairs in Knightdale?
The Problem
A Knightdale homeowner noticed that one of their rooms was not cooling properly, despite the AC being on.
What We Found
Jeorell and Tay discovered that a flex duct in the attic was broken, which was preventing cool air from reaching the room.
The Fix
The technicians reattached the broken flex duct and tested the system to ensure it was functioning correctly. They confirmed that the AC was cooling effectively before leaving the property.
The Result
The room was cooling properly by the time the technicians departed.
Pro Tip
If a room isn't cooling, check for disconnected or damaged ducts in the attic. A simple reattachment can restore airflow and comfort.

Thermostat Troubles Resolved in Knightdale
The Problem
A Knightdale homeowner was experiencing an issue where their HVAC unit was only running in heat mode, even when set to cool.
What We Found
Dexter discovered that the thermostat was not sending 24 volts to the reversing valve, which was causing the unit to malfunction.
The Fix
Dexter and Travis replaced the malfunctioning thermostat with a new one supplied by the homeowner. Once the new thermostat was installed, the system began operating correctly.
The Result
The HVAC system returned to normal operation, providing the desired cooling.
Pro Tip
If your HVAC unit runs only in heat mode, check for a struggling thermostat. A faulty unit often fails to send voltage to the reversing valve, causing cooling issues; replacing it can quickly restore proper function.

AC Leak Detection and Repair in Knightdale
The Problem
A Knightdale homeowner was experiencing issues with their AC unit blowing warm air, despite the system being on.
What We Found
Jeorell found that the system was running but the pressure was extremely low at 12psi, indicating a leak at the indoor coil and TXV.
The Fix
Jeorell performed a thorough leak search and identified leaks at the indoor coil and TXV. He discussed the option of system replacement with the homeowner due to the age of the unit and previous repairs.
The Result
The homeowner was informed about the condition of the system and is considering a replacement to ensure reliable cooling.
Pro Tip
If your AC blows warm air and the pressure is low, listen for hissing sounds—this often indicates a refrigerant leak. Address it quickly; neglecting it can lead to costly repairs or a full system replacement down the line.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair in Knightdale
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Knightdale
How quickly can you get to my home for an AC repair?
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 repairs are prioritized and dispatched as quickly as possible.
How much does an AC repair cost?
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. The diagnostic fee is waived if you approve the repair.
Is it worth repairing my older AC system?
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.
Why did my AC stop working on the hottest day?
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.
