The manifold gas pressure was elevated at 3.8” W.C. during a preventative maintenance visit on a heating system at a home in the 27604 area of Raleigh. Autumn cleaned the unit components, checked operating amperage and voltage, and verified inlet and manifold gas pressures. She also did a visual and operational inspection of the furnace and associated components, then adjusted the manifold gas pressure down to 3.3” W.C.
Proper system operation was verified following the adjustment.

During a routine heating maintenance visit at a home in the 27607 area, Autumn found that the gas valve was letting off higher gas pressure than normal. She checked the caps, heat exchanger, flame sensor, igniter, and gas valve on the system. She then walked the homeowner through the issue and provided a quote for a new gas valve replacement.
Other than the gas valve running a higher level of gas, the system was working within specs, and the homeowner signed for the new gas valve repair.

Dexter found that the 2nd floor system was not sealed well and is wrapped on the outside, so air from the attic is leaking in. During the recurring heating maintenance visit on both units, he noted the system has an ECM motor and control board. He recommended adding a surge protector and a UV light to clean the air leaking in from the attic. On the 1st floor, Dexter found the system working proper, but the unit is not perfectly sealed and sits in a sealed crawl space, so it is pulling in a lot of air from the crawlspace and putting it in the home.
The 1st floor system was working proper at the time of the visit.
Raleigh's hot, humid summers with temperatures often reaching 95°F+ put tremendous stress on HVAC systems. Systems must be properly maintained and sized to handle the extended cooling season from May through September.
The city's diverse neighborhoods from downtown high-rises to suburban homes to historic properties each have unique HVAC needs. Our technicians are experienced with all building types and their specific challenges.
Wake County building codes and city permits have specific requirements for HVAC installations and replacements. We handle all permitting to ensure your system meets local compliance standards.
Urban heat island effects in downtown Raleigh can increase cooling demands by 5-10 degrees compared to surrounding areas. This requires careful system sizing and efficient equipment selection.

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Raleigh.
The best time is September or early October, before the first cold snap. This ensures any issues are caught and repaired before you need your heat, and scheduling is easier before the busy season.
Annual tune-ups are recommended for all furnaces and heat pumps. Regular maintenance extends equipment life, maintains warranty coverage, and keeps energy bills in check.
Our 20-point inspection covers burner operation, heat exchanger integrity, safety controls, thermostat calibration, blower motor service, filter replacement, combustion analysis, and carbon monoxide testing.
Yes. A well-maintained furnace runs 10 to 15 percent more efficiently than a neglected one. The tune-up typically pays for itself in energy savings within the first few months of winter.
Absolutely. If we find issues that make repair impractical, like a cracked heat exchanger or a system nearing end-of-life, we will give you an honest assessment with replacement options and pricing.
