Mario
February 2026
A homeowner in Knightdale was experiencing heating issues while trying to sell their home.
Mario found that the zoning control board in the attic was not programmed correctly, and there was a leak at the indoor coil.
Mario corrected the program of the zone board and tested the operations of the outdoor unit. He also switched the unit into AC mode and noticed low pressure, indicating a leak at the indoor coil. Mario advised the homeowner on the necessary repairs and left the system off, recommending not to run the heat pump.
The homeowner was informed of the issues and is considering an upgrade quote.
If your heat pump struggles to heat properly, check the zoning control board for correct programming; misconfigurations can lead to major heating issues. Also, keep an eye out for low pressure in AC mode, as that often signals a refrigerant leak — don’t run the system!
Couldn't be happier! I just moved into a new house and wasn't even unpacked yet when the A/C started bogging down and then flooded the downstairs bathroom. Of course it had to happen on a Sunday but Element sent someone out right away and Travis was positive, friendly, and knowledgeable! Fixed the issue despite the heat with a smile and about the best attitude I've ever seen. I will be sticking with this company and this tech for all of my future HVAC maintenance from now on! :) Thanks, guys!!

Had my AC, blower, and furnace replaced. The team showed up on time, prepped the house to avoid tracking in dirt and make it easy to clean up when done. I work from home and they were very respectful of that. The were very efficient in the work, completing the whole job with clean up in about 8 hours. Very thorough with ensuring everything was functioning as expected before leaving. Definitely recommend!

Great honest service! Fair price and the Technician was highly competent. I will use them for any additional service or heat pump purchases. In fact I asked for estimates on our two aging units!

Read articleMany Knightdale homes rely on heat pumps that lose efficiency when temperatures drop below 35 degrees. During January and February cold snaps, homeowners in Widewaters and Planters Walk notice their auxiliary heat strips running constantly, driving up electric bills significantly.
Homes in Poplar Creek Estates and older sections of Knightdale may have gas furnaces approaching 20 years old with cracked heat exchangers — a safety concern that requires immediate replacement.
Many Knightdale homes have bonus rooms over garages that are consistently cold in winter. These spaces were often added with minimal ductwork and poor insulation, making them uncomfortable without supplemental heating.
Homes in Knightdale 2000s-era subdivisions frequently have ductwork running through unconditioned attics with deteriorating connections, losing 20-30% of heated air before it reaches living spaces.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Knightdale.
For most Knightdale homes, a heat pump with auxiliary electric heat strips is the standard setup. However, dual-fuel systems that pair a heat pump with a gas furnace provide the best efficiency across all temperature ranges. Newer Knightdale homes in Mingo Creek are increasingly choosing high-efficiency heat pumps with cold-climate ratings.
When Knightdale temperatures drop below 35 degrees, heat pumps lose efficiency and may rely on backup electric heat strips, which use significantly more energy. If your heat pump runs constantly above 40 degrees, it may be undersized, low on refrigerant, or in need of maintenance.
Gas furnace replacement in Knightdale typically costs $3,500-$7,000, while a full heat pump system runs $5,500-$12,000. The best choice depends on your home setup and whether natural gas is available. We provide free in-home evaluations to recommend the most cost-effective option.
Schedule heating maintenance in September or October before cold weather arrives. This gives time to address any issues before the first freeze, which typically hits Knightdale in late November or early December.
