The Fix
Dexter and Jeorell checked the capacitor and identified the broken wire as the issue. They removed the broken part, allowing the system to function properly again.

Efficient Heat Pump Repair in Raleigh
The Problem
A Raleigh homeowner was experiencing a cooling issue on the left side of their home, with the outdoor unit not turning on in either cool or heat mode.
What We Found
Mario found that the heat pump was out on a low pressure lockout and confirmed that the pressures were low.
The Fix
Mario conducted a leak search and discovered a leak at the true discharge Schrader core. With the homeowner's approval, he replaced the Schrader core and added 4 pounds of refrigerant.
The Result
The system was operating properly after the repair.
Pro Tip
If your heat pump isn't turning on and you notice low refrigerant pressures, it could indicate a leak. Addressing leaks quickly, like replacing a faulty Schrader core, can prevent more costly repairs down the line.

Heat Pump Breaker Tripping in Raleigh Apartment 302
The Problem
Residents in apartment 302 were experiencing heating issues, with the system repeatedly tripping the breaker.
What We Found
Mario found that the air handler was not functioning because the common wire was not properly connected, and the heat pump's breaker was tripping due to a faulty compressor.
The Fix
Mario reset the breakers and checked the air handler in the hallway, then moved to the heat pump located at the back of the building. He determined that the compressor was causing the breaker to trip. After discussing with management, he left the power off to the heat pump and set the thermostat to emergency heat to ensure the tenant had heating until a replacement could be arranged.
The Result
The tenant had temporary heating through the emergency heat setting, and management was informed about the need for a replacement.
Pro Tip
If the heat pump's breaker keeps tripping, check the compressor for signs of overheating or unusual noises. A faulty compressor can not only disrupt heating but also lead to further damage if left untreated—don’t hesitate to shut off power immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heat Pump Services in Raleigh
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Raleigh
Do heat pumps work in North Carolina winters?
Yes, heat pumps work excellently in North Carolina's mild winters. Modern heat pumps operate efficiently down to 25-30°F, which covers most Triangle winter days. For the occasional cold snap, heat pumps include auxiliary heating. Many Apex and Cary homeowners use heat pumps as their primary heating and cooling system year-round.
What's the difference between a heat pump and a furnace?
A furnace burns fuel (gas or oil) to generate heat, while a heat pump transfers heat from outside air into your home using electricity. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one system, are more energy-efficient in mild climates, and have lower operating costs. Furnaces heat faster in extreme cold but cost more to run.
How much does heat pump installation cost?
Heat pump installation in the Apex area typically ranges from $4,500 to $12,000, depending on system size, efficiency rating (SEER/HSPF), and installation complexity. While the upfront cost is higher than a furnace alone, a heat pump replaces both your furnace and AC. Many homeowners see 30-50% savings on heating costs.
