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.

Efficient HVAC Repair in Knightdale
The Problem
The homeowner noticed their HVAC system was not cooling effectively.
What We Found
Mario discovered that the evaporator coil was malfunctioning and the outdoor TXV needed replacement.
The Fix
Mario collected 10 lbs of R-22 refrigerant and replaced both the evaporator coil and the outdoor TXV. This ensured the system could operate efficiently in both heating and cooling modes.
The Result
The HVAC system was restored to proper functionality, providing comfort in both heat and cool modes.
Pro Tip
If the HVAC system isn’t cooling, check for ice buildup on the evaporator coil. Clearing that ice can indicate a refrigerant leak or airflow issue that you should address immediately to prevent further damage.

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.
