Thermostat Showing Error 37 in Raleigh: What Does It Mean?

Raleigh · November 2026 · Jeorell · From our service records

What the customer reported

A Raleigh homeowner reported that the thermostat showed Error 37 and said to contact the dealer.

What we found and did

Jeorell found that code 37 (E37) means the outdoor inverter control system is detecting a fault communicating with or controlling the outdoor fan circuit. He verified all wiring was tightened properly and secured. He then cleared the code and tested operations.

Result

The system was heating properly at the time of departure.

Heat Pump Quit After a Power Outage While Away in Raleigh

What the customer reported

A Raleigh homeowner reported that the heat pump was not working. The family had been away on vacation, a power outage hit during that time, and the heat pump was no longer operating when they got home.

What we found and did

The leak was at the outdoor coil. Jeorell found all 3 zones calling and 24v at the board, then hooked up gauges at the outdoor unit and read 0 psi, so the system was empty. With the homeowner's permission, Jeorell added about 2 lbs of 410a and performed a leak search, which turned up the leak at the outdoor coil. Jeorell went over repair vs replace options, and the homeowner chose a system replacement, keeping the current thermostats and mentioning that the 2nd floor damper may need adjustment when the install crew comes out on Monday.

Outdoor Heat Pump and Furnace Fixed in One Raleigh Visit

Rooftop Heat Pump Wouldn't Start in Raleigh Apartment

Raleigh · September 2026 · Mario · From our service records

Rooftop Heat Pump Wouldn't Start in Raleigh Apartment

What the customer reported

At an apartment community in the 27605 area, one heat pump could not start up or turn on, though it could be turned on manually and something still did not feel right. In a second apartment, the unit was frozen, and the tenants accidentally damaged the coil while trying to chip away the ice.

What we found and did

Mario found that the first apartment's rooftop unit was failing to start properly due to a bad high-pressure switch. After restoring power at the breakers and verifying a call for cool at the thermostat, he confirmed the diagnosis on the rooftop and sent an estimate for the high-pressure switch replacement. In the second apartment, he removed accumulated water from the SS2 safety switch, made a call for cool, and confirmed the rooftop unit was running properly, with no definitive signs of why it froze over (pointing to a possible intermittent issue). His leak search on the damaged coil section found no active signs of a leak, though he noted minimal physical damage that has created a potential weak point which could lead to a future leak.

Result

The second apartment's unit was operating properly at the end of the visit, and the high-pressure switch replacement for the first unit was quoted.

1.5-Ton Heat Pump Outdoor Fan Failed in Raleigh

Raleigh · September 2026 · Manny · From our service records

1.5-Ton Heat Pump Outdoor Fan Failed in Raleigh

What we found and did

Manny found that the outdoor condenser fan motor on this Goodman 1.5-Ton heat pump had failed. He replaced it with a motor matching the OEM spec (1/8 HP, 0.70 FLA) and verified the fan blade was rotating. He then checked the air and refrigerant readings (R-410A) to confirm the system was running correctly.

Result

The system produced a 17.1°F temperature drop (72.0°F return, 54.9°F supply), inside the 15-20°F target range, with superheat at 13.6°F and subcooling at 14.9°F, and the system was fully operational.

Breaker Keeps Tripping on Apartment Heat Pump in Raleigh

What the customer reported

The breaker keeps popping on the rooftop heat pump serving an apartment in the 27610 area.

What we found and did

Mario found that the compressor is grounded. He inspected the air handler in the closet and confirmed the breaker for the rooftop heat pump was tripped, then went up to the roof to run diagnostics on the heat pump. Estimates for a compressor replacement were prepared, with 5 hours recommended for the job, and the part is under warranty.

Outdoor Unit Keeps Tripping the Breaker in Raleigh

Outdoor Unit Keeps Tripping the Breaker in Raleigh

What the customer reported

A Raleigh homeowner in the 27603 area reported that the unit trips the breaker and turns back off. She also asked for a quote for a new unit.

What we found and did

Mario performed a diagnostic and confirmed that the compressor was tripping the breaker. He was unable to provide an estimate for the compressor at the time because the supply house was closed. He provided estimates for a 2-ton heat pump system, gathering the necessary information for the air handler located in the crawlspace and the heat pump situated on the right side of the home. All other estimates were to be sent out separately.

Wall-Mount Heat Pump Fan Wouldn't Run in Raleigh

Raleigh · August 2026 · Manny, Bernard & Jeorell · From our service records

Wall-Mount Heat Pump Fan Wouldn't Run in Raleigh

What we found and did

Manny, Bernard, and Jeorell found a failed indoor blower motor on a wall-mount heat pump system at a multifamily property in the 27607 area, along with a secondary control-side failure where line voltage was present at the motor but it failed to run. The team replaced the blower motor, then acquired a replacement control board from the multifamily maintenance staff on-site and installed it. A fire damper reset part was also provided as part of the repair.

Result

The blower motor started up and ran immediately after installation, and the team verified the system was actively cooling.

Does a Major HVAC Repair Need a Full Recharge in Raleigh?

What we found and did

Mario found a faulty reversing valve and TXV on a system in the 27616 area. He recovered all the refrigerant, moved equipment to the outdoor unit at the back side of the building, replaced both parts, and brazed in a new filter dryer. Inside, he accessed the indoor unit to confirm the piston size and clean it. He then pressure-tested the system at 200 psi for 20 minutes without any issues, blew it out with nitrogen, pulled a vacuum down to 600 microns, and added the factory charge of 7.5 lbs of R-410A, including the line set.

Result

After power was restored and all operations were checked, the system was confirmed to be cooling properly at the time of service.

Why quality heat pump services matters in Raleigh

Extreme Summer Heat

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.

Diverse Buildings

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.

Building Permits

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

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.

FAQ

Heat Pump Services in Raleigh: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Raleigh.

Do heat pumps work in North Carolina winters?

Yes. Heat pumps work well in North Carolina's mild winters. Modern heat pumps keep heating through most Triangle winter days, and cold-climate models keep going well below freezing. For the occasional hard 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 and are very efficient in mild climates. Furnaces deliver hotter air in extreme cold, and how operating costs compare depends on your electric and gas rates.

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 (SEER2/HSPF2), and installation complexity. While the upfront cost is higher than a furnace alone, a heat pump replaces both your furnace and AC.
