Jeorell & Mario
July 2026
A Pittsboro homeowner noticed that their heat pump was not cooling the house, accompanied by a humming noise from the outside unit.
Jeorell discovered ants in the contactor, which was preventing the system from running properly.
With the homeowner's permission, Jeorell replaced the faulty contactor. After the replacement, he tested the system to ensure it was operating correctly.
The heat pump was cooling effectively by the time Jeorell departed.
Ants can cause electrical issues in outdoor units by nesting in the contactor. Keep the area around your unit clear of debris and check for ant activity regularly to prevent interruptions.
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 articleSome builder-installed heat pumps in Chatham Park and newer Pittsboro developments use minimum-spec equipment that relies too heavily on auxiliary heat, driving up winter energy costs.
Heat pumps in Briar Chapel's earlier phases are 10-15 years old, losing efficiency and increasingly triggering expensive auxiliary electric heat during cold weather.
Pittsboro's historic downtown homes were built long before modern HVAC, with limited insulation, single-pane windows, and heating systems that struggle to maintain consistent comfort.
Fearrington Village homes built in the 1990s-2000s have heating systems approaching or past the typical 15-year replacement timeline, with declining performance each winter.
More ways we can help in Pittsboro.
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Pittsboro.
For most Pittsboro homes, a variable-speed heat pump provides the best combination of efficiency and comfort. These systems handle the transition seasons well and minimize expensive auxiliary heat. For larger Chatham Park homes, multi-zone systems ensure even heating throughout.
If your Fearrington Village heat pump is 15+ years old, schedule an evaluation. Declining efficiency means you're paying more each winter while getting less comfort. Modern systems can cut heating costs by 30-40% while providing more even temperatures.
Start with weatherization—sealing air leaks and adding insulation makes the biggest immediate impact. For heating equipment, ductless mini-splits provide efficient zone heating without requiring ductwork modifications that could affect the home's character.
While they meet code requirements, builder-grade systems are often minimum-efficiency models. If you're experiencing high winter bills or auxiliary heat running frequently, an evaluation can determine if the system is properly sized and configured for your specific home.
