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.

The Problem
A Raleigh homeowner was experiencing intermittent heating issues in their apartment.
What We Found
Mario found a wiring issue at the heat pump after inspecting the system.
The Fix
Mario corrected the wiring issue and tested the unit thoroughly. He monitored the system for over 30 minutes to ensure it was operating correctly without any further issues.
The Result
The heating system was functioning properly by the end of the visit.
Pro Tip
A frayed or worn wire in your heat pump can cause intermittent heating issues, often making a clicking sound when failing. If you notice unusual noises, power down the unit immediately to prevent further damage and costly repairs.

Heat Pump Not Engaging in Raleigh
The Problem
A homeowner in Raleigh was experiencing issues with their heat pump, where the heat would not engage despite the air conditioning working fine.
What We Found
Dexter found a leak in the heat pump and identified that the reversing valve was not fully engaging. Additionally, the compressor was pulling high amps and shutting down.
The Fix
Dexter repainted the leak area and recharged the system to ensure a thorough inspection. He replaced the faulty compressor and reversing valve and installed a new filter drier to enhance system performance.
The Result
The heat pump was restored to full functionality, providing reliable heating for the homeowner.
Pro Tip
If the heat pump won’t engage and the compressor is pulling high amps, check the reversing valve for proper function. A faulty valve can cause high amp draws and lead to compressor failure if not addressed quickly.

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.

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.
